BIG SHOW HERE.
The Paris tiIppOdrome. the Largest Al
GreRstIOn Of wonders Ever Witnessed
In Ardmore-LarReIy Attended.

The new Great Syndicate Shows
and Paris Hippodrome arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon with their
long special train containing what il
perhaps the best geological collectic
that has ever visited Ardmore, to-
gether with scores Of talented and
high-salaried performers. The exper-
fenced and reputable management OF
this particular circus seem to have
the gift Of knowing what pleases the
people and judging from their three
quarter mile parade, the condition OF
their stock and general makeup OF
their entire shows, We conclude that
their ambition TO succeed has been
fully realized here. The grounds at
the park were selected for the show
lot and after the enormous tents
which have seating capacity Of
nearly 700, had been placed in po-
sition hundreds of our city and coun-
try folks began gathering about the
main entrance and long before the
performance began the seats were
crowded with an intelligent and or
derby audience.
The trained tigress, Victoria, was
the first number on the program and
in view of the fact that she Is the OF
Is female of her species that has ev-
or been mastered by man. The beau
tiful yet vicious beast and her train
er, Mr.. James McEiroy, were treated
to an ovation. ''Nic." did
her masters bidding with great agil-
ity and went through the graceful
performances with marked accuracy
and dispatch.
The Martell Family Of trick bicy-
clists elected storms of applause for
their clever handling Of their ore and
two wheeled machines. These peo-
pie actually defy the laws OF gravita-
ton and are beyond all doubt the
wonders of the age in their particn-
lar line.
Francis Reed the child bareback
rider turned back somersaults on the
back OF his beautiful snow white
horse with the ease and grace OF an
old professional. Frank is said to
be the youngest boy on earth who
accomplishes this feat.
NIinnetti, the iron-jawed lady thrill
ed the audience by her daring glide
from the apex of the lofty tent to the
ground suspended only by her teeth
clinched to a leather strap.
Harry King and Paul Devene, the
high aerial and return artists gained
a hearty applause for their clever
turn. This team is the best paid Of
any in the business, but for the risks
they run their salary of $3.50 per week
would seem comparatively small.
The Livingston's, family Of aero
bats and Risley act performers pleas
ed everybody. Their inimitable an
ties were the source OF great meri-
ment in all quarters of the mammoth
canvas.
Theodore Barretta, the funny man,
kept the vast multitude in good hu-
NOR throughout the entire perform
ance. Theo., unlike many would-be
clowns, is original and wakes ex-
ceedingly funny at times. So much
SO in fact that his comicalities cause
even his fellow p formers TO laugh.
Lorenzo and LOtta, the aerialists
were exceptionally clever in their
daring flights through the air. This
team is quite worthy of the tremend-
Gus applause they received at the
conclusion Of their turn.
7 The show as a whole was first class
and we hope they will pay Us another
visit. Another performance will be
given tonight when the Great Syndi-
cate will depart for Purcell.
