of Hashimo, the Bedouin Arab, was some
thing truly wonderful. "Nfazeppa" was
very we'll rendered, and afforded infinite
satisfaction. The balloon ascension was
very successful and attracted crowds OF
admirers. Col. Davis-the veteran show
man-has just cause for feeling proud OF
the troupe with which he is connected.
