The Pavilion was thronged as usual
last night and the Circus Maximus drew
another packed house.
The Roman show was presented with
all its wonted grandeur and the thou
sands who attended cheered and ap-
plauded from start 20 finish. The tri-
umphal entry of Caesar. which opens the
entertainment, was superb affair last
night. The great body OF soldiers, SEN

prisoners of war. etc., as they are drawn
up before Cesar's stand and listen to his
address. present rare spectacle, indeed.
The gladiatorial combats and fights be-
tween mounted swordsmen were given
in most realistic manner. The single
combat between the two captains of the
companies of mendiani had to be omitted
last night owing to an injury that betell
Professor Kelter while practicing at the
athletic club yesterday. It is thought,
however, that he will be in condition to
meet his foe this evening.
The star feature OF last nights perform

his opponent. The swing-ln was done
/ deXtrously, but so close that one OF
the horses of the black team struck the
chariot with his fore feet, breaking the
flooring with crash. The horse lost its
footing and fell, turning complete
SomerSault. The animal was dragged a
short distance when it broke away from
It's harness and began wild race on its
own hook around the arena. The
frightened steed finally dashed through
the exit, and wound up its mad race in
the property room.
