The circus is with US and it brings
with it that holiday air that only
circus can diffuse when it strikes the
town. And after taking pep among
the tents and at the horses and the
animals ard the riders, chaparoned by
the clever and genial press agent, Mr..
John Pifer, while tlings were beir g
gotten in readiness for the big show, we
concluded along with the rest of human
ity that Walter L. Mains circus was net
only the bigges and greatest we ever saw
but the greatest on earth. We took a
look in at the side shown when the fortune
teller, the imro ted "rooster band" and
other celebrities were in full swing, and
this was in itself equal TO a circus. The
big snakes should not be forgotten when
| looking through this tent. Then we went
into the cooking and dining department,
which was novelty and in itself show
We also glanced in upon the sleek and
| OCdulllul lOESeS, inc uQeSL we ever saw,
and took peep at the actors and aero
bats behind the scenes donning their
| gorgeous costumes.
Then when the big show came on it
surpassed all expectations we had formed
1t has more features and better perform
ances than any we haYe witnessed. The
menagerie is one Of the best ahd most
complete exhibitions We have ever seen
They show that they are we'll kept and
in fine condiiion. One thing with which
We were impressed was the clever and
gentlemany bearing of the people who
manage the circus and take part in it
They are such courteous people as are
rarely met with in a circus The street
parade was one Of imposing grandver and
was one of the largest and finest ever
witnessed here. The good features ot
