Long before dark crowd began To- gather
In that ncighborhood and after the band,
which by the way, Is very good one, had
given concert in Centre Square, there was
grand rush for the circus grounds. BY the
time that the performance opened the can
vas was packed with people. The manager
of the show Is very fair In his prices. He
charges but 10 cents admission and 10 cents
extra for reserved seats. Many shows Of
this kind charge ten cents at the door and
then try 10 get an exorbitant price for
reserved seats. The entertainment given
by the circus company was first-class In
every respect. Everybody that attended
was pleased and spoke in the highest
terms of 1t. Many high-priccd shows that
have been here have not given as great
satisfaction. The acts arc nearly all good
