We have not the least hesitancy in
pronounciDg Prof. John Ii. Sparks the
king OF horsemen, and his performance
occupies no less place OF distinction in
the animal world. We have never witt
messed such a marvellous performance
as given by his horses. They seem
possessed of as much intelligence as the
average man. They play school scene,
in which the horses acs the part of
scholars and the little mule the part OF
|gteacher. They add, multiply and SUBJ
tract as proficiently as they eat hay.
They play sick, play doctor, 60 to the
money drawer and get any class of
money called for, jump ropo and bring
mail, etc. These arc but q few of the
many acts the horses perform, but it
serves to illustrate the high standard Of
their entertainment as whole. Other
attractions to be seen are excellent
horizontal bar performers, jugglers,
gymnasts, Japanese perch performers,
contortion fea,s by boy. who ia GER
tainly wonder, snd two good, knock
about, talking clowns. Tho whole con.
cludes with the funniest mule act on
earth. This show is up too date in every
sense Of the word and refined through
out the entire programme.

Shapes of Mems Fall Hats,

As the fall styles develop it is more
and more evident that the full crown
derby will be the hat for the season.
There is a wide latitude in curls, one Of
the latest developments being q fat
pressed curl. This is almost inevitable
when a full crowned hat is popular, and
it may catch the popular fancy at this
time.
The prospect is that low crowns will
be preferred for the ''nobby" or young
mems trade, running as low as ~
deep, although AZ will strike the
happy medium. Some extremes in
widths of brims will be shown, but
outer proportions are dangerous at all
times.
The tourist hat has become SO staple
as to have Practically usurped the place
Of the shapes that were formerly COM
prised under that title.
1t would be a boon to the soft hat
trade if some other shape would come
to the front, the competition on tourists
having reduced their manufacture to
the always pleasing position Of barely
covering shop expenses. - American
