AN UP TO DATE CIRCUS.
TWO FINE PERFORMANCES GIVEN
BY THE SYNDICATE SHOWS.
Generally Considered to BE the Best
Circus That Has Ever Visited Salt
Jake-Other Amusements.
"An nn-to-date circus"

IAN up-to-date circus.
That was the unanimous opinion Of
adj who attended the performances
given by the Syndicate shows at the
Old Fort square yesterday afternoon
and evening.
The mammoth tent was packed at
both entertainments, and after seeing
this one, it cannot be said that all
circuses are alike" for the syndicate
managers have introduced number
of new and very novel features.
In the menagarie, the baby kanga-
roo, and the sea lions were the fea-
lures, although the whole collection OF
rare animals attracted much attention.
Passing on into tne circus tent, the
immense audience found three rings,
and it made the spectators dizzy to
keep track of all that was going on.
The programme was long one, Dut II
was put through with a dash and vim
that precluded waits. and there was
scarcely a hitch in the entire perform
ance. The features here were the rid
ing of Parsons, Reed and McIlroy, and
Miss Murray and Miss Livingston, the
startling trapeze work of a number OF
artists, the balancing of Japanese
troup, the exhibition by Rialto, the
strong man, and the bicyclists.
The races at the close of the show
created no little excitement and amuse-
ment, and taken all in all, it is not
too much to say that this is the best
circus that has ever visited Salt Lake,
and certainly a better pleased audience
never left a tent than last night.
There will be two performances to-
day, one in the afternoon and another
this evening.

Of the debating societies of the city.
the last of these being the conven-
ton called by the Polite CT. NJ. C. Al
Debating society. AS this was not so
successful as expected, on account of
the rev delegates who attended, by
motion OF the convention the Franklin
DEBATING society was requested to is
sue another call to the various debat-
ing societies of the city, inviting them
10 send two delegates to represent
their society in a committee whose OBJ
Ject shall be to formulate plans for a
new convention. Written invitations
have been sent to those societies whose
addresses were ascertainable, but all
other societies are as cordially invited
10 send their delegates. In fact, every
DEBATING society is expected to be rep
resented In order to avoid cOmplica-
lions representatives should be vested
with full power to make all arrange
ments- The benefits that are to be
derived from such a meeting are OBJ
vlous and need not be enumerated
mere. We wish, however, to carry the
matter one step farther. In order to
secure unity of purpose. it would be
wise to take steps at this meeting to-
wards forming a permanent league of
the debating societies of the city.
The position of the committee upon
TINS proposition need not be binding on
their respective societies. 1t is suffi-
clent to ascertain the opinion of the
societies as to the ACCESSIBILITY of such
a step. This matter will receive final
settlement at the first convention of
the societies. The delegates will meet
at the Franklin debating hall, st.

congregational Concert.

Notwithstanding the opposition from the
presence here of the opera and the circus,
the concert at the Congregational church
last evening for the benefit of the Phillips
Congregational organ fund, drew good
audience of music lovers. The concert
was meritorious affair The Orpheus
club sang the two beautiful selections,
Eight Bells by Rieger and 20, Why
Art Thou Not Near Me-" by Marchner.
The chorus work was splendid. The club
gains strength with every appearance.
Both pieces received hearty appreciation
from the audience. Miss Geneva Jennings
gave three beautiful soprano solos. She
sang the difficult Page Song from The
HugI1enots," by request, carrying We'll the
lullaby by Luckstone, and, as an encore
to the first selection the Creole Love
Song" in all three of which she had an
opportunity to show her versatility. John
Robinson, the sweet baritone, sang 1.-The
Silent World is Sleeping" by Dudley
Buck and received hearty applause.
Professor Radcliffe played the majestic
coronation march "Prophite," by Mayer
beer, in opening. Afterward he played
"Narcissus," by Nevin. Cradle Song" by
the latter receiving an encore. Prot.
Daynes also played Stearn's oifertorie in
Z. testing the full powers of the organ
on some of the passages and meeting with
appreciation from the audience. Miss AL
lie Miller rendered Wallenhaupts graceful
ample chance for a display Of her delicate
touch and rapid lingering. She made a
favorable impression securing good APP
plause. Ed Olsen also made very good
of Caseys 'Remembrances OF Liberati."
The numbers We're uniformly good and
the programme proved 10 hold pleasing
variety and to be not a whit too long.

spoons and knives and forks from
the Grand Pacific hotel on Monday

an old-time frequenter of the police

hangs a tale. When he was called in
the police court yesterday it was sup
posed by the court that he was there
for his common offense. drunkenness.

court, thinking to get him out of town
easy, told him to go and make him
self scarce. James did so. and in less
than a minute was out of sight
When the time arrived for the ar
raignment of the man Gordon, he was
missing and could not be found. In

flown.

companion, William Wallace, had his
case continued until today.

turbing the neighborhood were all

THE ELEPHANT AT LARGE
The Huge Animal From the Circus
Takes Il Midnight RambIe.

takes IL
Considerable excitement was caused
among the late ramblers of the
streets last night by a report that the
circus elephant had broken loose and
was roaming wildly about the city.
The report proved to be true, for sure
enough the huge animal had broken
away and headed for Main street. He
came along Second South and made
east at furious pace, followed by
relay of circus riders on white horses.
After crossing Main street he was lost
sight of and the circus men rode all
over the town searching for the brute.
Along about 2 O'clock he was discov-
cred going west on Third South
street, and when near the Knutsford
hotel he was got under control and Sc
cureiy hobbled with strong ropes, and
was finally induced to follow his
keeper back to the tents. The keep
ers say he is usually most docile and
quiet, but last night while he was
laying down, small frog hoped in
to his trunk and insisted on remain
ing there, driving the animal wild in
his frantic endeavors to expel the in
truder. The misguided little frog was
taken from its lodging after the keep
ers caught the elephant at the KnutS-
ford corner and then he went quietly
back 10 his quarters.

Rnrc1nrr at ainrham.

The residence of T. B. McBurney. at
Bingham. was burglarized on Sunday
night, several suits Of wearing apparel
and other articles being stolen. The
thief evidently gained entrance by a
window and cut his hand in breaking
the glass. as there were blood stains
on the window. Mr.. McBurney dis
covered the man as he was going
away. but he got off so quickly that
he could not be captured.
The crime is laid to one Jim Nc
Graw, for whose arrest a warrant has
been issued from United States Com

yet been apprehendsd. but the sheriff S
officers are after him.

Chicago, May 21.-It is stated here from
reliable sources that John S. Johnson, who
was suspended by the L. A. W. racing
board, pending an investigation into his
amateur standing, has been declared a
professional. Johnson was suspended by
the racing board about month ago. and
was allowed 80 days in which to answer
the charges.
In company with his trainer, Tom Eek,
he went to Philadelphia TO see Chairman
Gideon and answer the charges. 1t is said
that when Chairman Gideon asked him to
produce his prizes won at the different
races in which he had participated. he
was unable to do so. and on this ground,
it is stated, he was declared a profession
al by the unanimous vote of the board
and barred from the amateur ranks for
all time. 1t is alleged the charges against
Trainer Eek are eXtortion. An authority
on bicycling in this city stated that Chair
man Gideon had been making a quiet in
vestigation into Ecks case and as the
chairman is deliberate in his acts, he has
undoubtedly secured evidence which justi-
fed his course in the supervision of Mr..
Eek

HE FOOLED DONOVAN.
How the Clown in the Circus Did Up
the Police Captain.

Captain Donovan, of the Salt Lake po-
lice force, is anxious to open nego tiations
with some dealer who will sell him a job
lot of cigars at cheap rate. He says
that nothing short of a consignment OF
fifty boxes will suffice him. 1t happened
in this way:
When the circus parade started yeSter-
day, among the wagons was noticed
very fine specimen of the genus hayseeo;
leaking galways and all, driving in front
of the band wagon. AT The Herald cor
ner the old fellow stopped right in front
of the wagon in the lead and despite the
protests of the driver, refused to get Out

"A Abe started, but he did not get far be-
fore he "tumbled'' TO the joke. But not
so with Donovan. With his face as white
as snow with anger, the doughty offlcer
gave Randolph directions to clear the
way, he said: Nov, see here old man,
you get right out of this. You have been
interrupting this parade all day, and L
want you to get out"
''Oh, you go and soak your head was,
the reply, whereat the crowd laughed d
wicked laugh; in fact, several laughs.
This was too much for Donovan.
Take that horse by the bits and lead him
to the station" he commanded Abe ape

man said, whoa, back The result was
that Randolph was hauled across the
street. The captain was fast losing MS

It is very hard to hold the new rife ex-

NOTICE.

this drive"
Is that notice intended to be regarded.
or not? Last evening l was around the
Park, and there were a score, more or
less, buggieS and sulkies running around,
which were at times driven-very fast?
Well apparently no faster than the
horses could go, but quite as fast. Wheth-
er the men driving them were drunk or
sober, is not for me to say. But there
was yelling for people to get out of the
way, and it did not seem very safe for
the ordinary public, who were not speed
crazy, but who were out for a drive or a
walk in a quieter way. Now, do these
speed cranks own the drive? Or is it for
the use of the public at large?
Another thing. There is a custom, care
less if not vicious of two or three or
more buggies or sulkieS going abreast on
the drive the drivers talking to each 9TH
er, which, considering that all are re-
quested to drive one way, makes it diff
ficult sometimes for other buggieS to find
room in which to pass by. There should
be some reformation in these matters, if
the pleasure of the general public is to be
regarded. OUTING.
