press aid me In calling the attention of our
best people TO this wonderful aggregation
OF artistic merit. combined with rich. navy
blue blood which courses through tho veins

Even our stake drivers and Canyasmon are
thoroughly refined, and come from good
old dccrcpit families.
We will also hHvN Il lion tanner whose
stage name will be Dennis. He will qucll

10y his wonderful viii power and matchirss
clothes. We also havc bright young un-
d"istudy who will succeed to tho place in
case Dennis should fall up in his lines while
inserting his head in tho Hons mouth.
We have not donC all Of our printing yet.
but it will be hi"hly ornumeutcd and yet in
per Get taste. Mr. McAisttr and l will

with tho best people. 70 this We are strain
ing every nerve and spaIine no expense.
We will ransack the gildcd InlaccS OF New

homes Of wealth and luxury for bareback
riders. We will enter the abode of maguiil-
ccnce in search Of candy butchers and can

tree on Manhattan Island in search Of Curl
oSitics for onr mcnaTcrie.
