Immediately after the passage of the interstate

found cold comfort in the hope that only first
class concerns could stand the extra expense.
They found that fares were at least so per cent
higher that an even greater increase was made
for carrying scenery, and that charges for extra
baggage were stlffened alarmingly. Companies
were made small possible. baggage was re-
duced, and still many troupes found their row
hard hoeing. With the circuses it was different
The large shows, at least, owned their own carl
did their loading and unloading and
looked to the railroads to furnish rails and loco
motives only. These facts sufficient last
year to keep the circus companies clear from
the unpleasant conditions of the new law, and
rates of transportation remained the
for past years. Now the passenger agents OF
the railroads have decided that the circus must

up schedule of charges that circus managers
claim is nothing less than prohibitive. When
they announced they would charge So, 800 per
day for carrying the Barnum and Bailey show

season. the big Van Amburgh and other ci-cuses

years standiug(J to show in England and on

he had never given the Englishman the chance
TO improve his mind by viewing ''the greatest on
earth. yet he well known there here,
and that there would be oney in the trip. He
feels sure that he could stay In London alone for
from four to six months, and that that would
sufficiently reduce expenses to make the venture
profitable with the admission reduced to shii-
ling which il what would have been done. This
show of confidence coupled with ne fact that ne

road men. and they have consented to allow the
