NOTES AND QUERIES.


do ~. make q custom of admitting the saw
dt,y. and the horsey air of the ring into this
select department.; but presidents count fol
nothing in these days Of revolutions and it is
not at all impossible that the next circus vii
have 70 be content with brief business no
.ice in another and less sacred part of the
MoRN1So APPEAL. As per programme the
great show came and made its street parade
and then pitched its great canvas city. Then
when the time for the afternoon performance
drew near, the ticket Office was opened and
the great crowds of men, women and children
proceeded to get themselves the requisite
passes. (And here it becomes the duty OF
this Annotator to say that the so-called Gao
commodation ticket" dodge is not legiti-
mate accompaniment of any first class show
such as this really is. The modus operandl
Of this catch-penny arrangement IS for an au.
thorized understrapper Of the establishment
to open ticket selling place just prior TO the
opening of the regular ticket Office. When
the person TO be Accommodated comes to
purchase his tickle. OF this apparently outside
and extra arrangement, he finds himself
charged lZs cents extra, per ticket Thus
there is a half dollar extra on every four
Recommendations Of course Forepaugh
permits this mean little extortion, or it
would not be made right und9r his nose.
We advise him TO abandon this small
swindle The Pacific coast show -goers are
Justly famed for their generosity; but they
are the most keen detectives of any I'M
fairness Of any people with which this
new conner has had to deal The show
is all one is led to expect from the extensive
billing and advertising The display of ami
mails is exceedingly interesting forasmuch as
there are several of the collection which are
quite new to this part Of the world The rhi-
uoceros is a genuine enc and of great size;
the hippopotamus is very great curiosity,
and the horned beasts are numerous and rare.
We have never seen any finer lions than the
two African specimens The black tiger is q
great curiosity. In the circus one is enter
tanned by some excellent riding-Mollie
Brown and Sebastian ensure that-and the
trapeze acts and the tumbling are first rate.
The trick elephants do all and moro than
they are Advertised to do. Certainly their
performance is very interesting and not a lit
tie surprising. The show is satisfactory
enc and that is all that need be said of it. 4
small incident illustrative Of the bad temper
Of circus men, the INSTRUCTED zeal Of a can
vas invader and the promptitude of Constable |
Stern took place about the time the show be- |
gan. A fellow who was the worse for his
cups had been caught in the act of crawling
under the show tent. He was promptly taken |
in hand by tent man, led outside and had |
his eye bunged. Then Constable Stern ap- |
peared on the scene and took Nj Danger into |
custody We immortaze the catastrophe,
taking it at the point of encounter between
the tent m2n and the self elected but abortive
1eadhead
And then this man Of shows
With this st0wGHay did Gloss,
and he b2sted him with blows
Upon his eyes and nose.
Then the p-ee2emen heard the noise,
