shall Clemens, of Greensburg, and was arrested

be Il and several policeman, after a desperate
struggle When Connors recognized the officers

turn to the shore, and, under cover of several
revolvers, was ordered not to run. When Cap
tain Campbell came within reach, Corners struck
him in the mouth. dividing the upper lip into
two sections. The mace was brought into use
and the prisoner was subdued, or, rather, to use
a pleonastic pugilistic phrase, he was "disag-
ured and knocked out Of the ring" He was
taken to Greensburg, heavily shackled, under the
guard of an extra officer, before his wounds,
which bled fearfuy, were dressed.

Thorough and systematic Work.

The advertising of the Barnum and London
shows has reached that point of perfection where
it would seem impossible TO improve it,
A few years ago half dozen men would drive
into city like indianapolis with We or SIX old
wind-broken and spawned horses, paste up q
few bills on the dead-wals, in few alleys, put
a small advertisement In the papers and drive
on. Then the show was advertised. Now, Bar
NUN sends out in advance of his shows five
gorgeously decorated ana convenienlly arranged
advertising cars, distributed all the way from
one to six weeks in advance of his exhibitions,
each armed and equipped with score or more
OF men who literally make picture gallery of
the whole county for thirty miles around. A
special press agent is sandwiched in between,
whose duty tits to spend fabulous sums of money
with the newspapers, to properly set forth the
wonders of the great show. Not satisfied with
this lavish expenditure. and apparently deter
mined that no one shall remain at home, he
sends a special agent to arrange with all rail
roads for cheap excursions aud for the sale of
his admission tickets al every station within
ffty miles. No wonder the Barnum show takes
$4,000 daily, for it is with commendable
liheraity thar the managers of the institution
put out their money to secure everyi hing new.
Jumbo is the reignng sensation, and no doubt
great crowds will flock to see him.

ster, who claimed that his pouch was taken from

leaving the saloon shortly afterwards. He
furnished the required bail and was released
from custody. He is one of the deputies engaged

so excellently as to excite constant and
unbounded applause, and cause the tab

the house, while Fred FELTON,, G. E.

Recolleotions OF One of the Oldest

A Reputation Which has Become
World Wide.

''It seems SO strange, said an old lady,

derful reputation that John Robinson
had attained in the last fifty years 81

in Charleston, South Carolina, at IL Pal
metto street; for | was born at No. TO-,
on the same street, four years previous,
and as he claims to be II years OF age,
he is correct, for am in my slst year.
John Robinson was always of bold and
fearless disposition as a boy, and as
boy he grew up a man. He was in his
extreme youth splendid horseman. |
have met him many times, and we often
speak Of the days Of our childhood with
pleasure. / am glad he is to come to
Los Angeles once more, and if God
spares my life and health l shall take
my great grandchildren, as well as grand
children, to Johns biggest and best
of all shows, and let them see the man
who ives the childhood's playmate oi
their grandmother. They will be sure
to remind me Of the correct date OF his
coming to Los Angeles, Wednesday
Oct. 10th. The grand parade takes
place Wednesday morning, Oct. 10th,

Fair Week.

The week of our annual Fair was
opened yesterday in gay and festive
manner. Bands of music paraded the
streets with four-horse teams, in wagons.
placarded with the announcement OF
the various entertainments to take place
in the afternoon and evening. The
hotels were crowded to overfowing with
guests, and the streets filed with throngs
of people from all parts Of Southern
California. 1t was a grand outpour of
the people, who have come to the city
for holiday week that is full of enter
tainments of all kinds, to suit everybody.
Lawyers and judges have come in to
attend the session of the Supreme Court.
They may be found at the Court room
in the forenoon, but disappear mysteri-
ously about the time the races begin in
the afternoon. The admirers Of fine
stock may be found at the Park looking
at the fine blooded cattle of j. w.
Waters, Jr, and President Barretto.
The number Of horses at the Park is
larger than ever before, and the places
of amusement are ample to accommo-
date all who may visit them, while the
Agricultural Fair, at the corner Of First
and Los Angeles streets, is ample forthe
thousands of visitors who will surely
attend the display, which is already be-
coming immense. The agricultural i'm
plements nearly fill the lower story of
the building. whileS he second floor
will be nearly filed d ~. Over 100
exhibits were placed in p, tion yester-
day, comprising q vast Va ETY. Of ar
ticles. Twelve babies havs already
been entered for competition in the baby
show. The formal opening will take
place this evening. and the speeches
will probably be dispensed with, and
those present win examine the exhibits,
and social dance will follow, to be
continued each evening during the week.
Mr.. t. A. Carey and his corps Of assis-
tants have put the building in fine con-
dition in short order. Five electric
lights illuminate the rooms brilliantly,
and will be used during the entire week.

The arismer Combination


A critical audience filled Turn-Verein
Hall last night to enjoy the first per.
formance Of the sensational and highly
romantic drama, entitled Chispa, by the
Grismer Combination. Mr.. J. r. Girls
mcr is superior actor and has selected
with an actors good JUDGMENT. q very
clever troupe of actors who enter into
the spirit Of the play with right good
WILL Mr.. Grismer, as Zeke Stephens,
Is dashing and brilliant, and carried out
the part Of the leader Of lumber camp
in tho Santa Cruz mountains, with COM
plote success. Miss Phoebe Davis was a
fitting character with her husband, to
perform the part of Chispa, the heroine
Of the drama. Nobody has ever ap-
peared on the Los Angeles stage with
more talent for snch free, wild, brave,
romantic character as that Of Chispa, the
Child of Nature. Her acting is per-
fection itself, and is a keen and delicious
exhilaration to all who have tho good
fortune to hear her ringing voice, and
see her graceful and accomplished ac-
tion. She infuses intensity of life into
the drama which abounds in strikin 2
scenes and sudden changes, that prevent
all monotony, and make the play full Of
interest from beginning to end Grace
Pierce, as Old Calamity, difficult char
acter, was excellent. Mr.. George I.
Stevens performed the part of Injun
Jack in a very clever manner. 4. N.
Thayer as Doc Jones, the Camp Oracle,
was very good. Want Of space prevents
an analysis of this most interesting
drama, which abounds with stirring in.
cidents from beginning to end. and also
permits q personal allusion to only the
leading characters of this troupe, all Of
which did well. and we hope will be
heard again in the same characters. To.
night the Two Orphans will be perform.
ed and should meet crowded house.
