1t soon became evident that expecta-
tons would be realized, and that the
canvas of GallaXy's monster tent would
that night cover an audience out of all
former precedent Long before the
doors were opened the entrance was
besieged by crowds eager to obtain the
best seats, and an hour before the

filled to it's utmost capacity. Well

The performance comprised all the
feats that invariably find aplace in the
programme of circus, the big event
being reserved for the conclusion of

wisely determining not to miss the
other good things in the menu for the
sake of an especial dish. The graceful
evolutions of the lady performers, the
equestrian feats of the gentlemen
riders, the daring somersaults, the
bubbles and quips of the funny
clowns, all came in for their due share
of praise.

reached, and amid the enlivening
strains of the band and the enthusiasts

forward, leading by the hand his lit.
