SPECIAL FEATURES AT FORT WAYNE. The coming week at the Ft. Wayne exposition Is to be featured by some of the most stupendous undertakings ever attempted In the amusement history of Fort Wayne. Four special features head the extra attractions of the week that in themselves would make the exposition a success without the wonderful hippodrome attractions and the great industrial exposition. These four special events are first, the public marriage, which will be conducted at the hippodrome for any couples who will signifiy their willingness to a public wedding at the exposition to Manager J. 8. Berger, who will be found at the first booth on the exposition grounds. The centennial committee has donated a beautiful suite of furniture which will be given to the couple married under the above circumstances.. Second, but of equal importance is the contest to find the most beautiful girl in the state. When this young woman is determined she is to be made queen of the centennial exposition, an honor deserved only by a prize beauty. Third is to be the baby show, which will be conducted one afternoon of the week. The perfect baby declared winner of the show will be given high recognition by the centennial exposition committee. Last of the special features is the great concert between all the bands which have taken part in the celebration of the centennial. A high ward is to be set up, and on one night of the week, all of these bands will give concerts, picked musical judges to decide which of the bands is the best.
