FELL FROM THE TRAPEZE.
Exciting Accident at the Circus Last
Night But No One Hurt


Night But No One Hurt
About 5000 Topeka people saw a good
menagerie and a very good circus per
Torrance at the fair grounds last night
under the canvas Of the Forepaugh-
Sells show.
While the circus tent can be made to
hold IL, 600 people by packing with extra
seats there was no packing yesterday
and most everyone in the audience oc-
cupied room that could have been made
to do for two In the evening the seats
were not more than twO-thirds full.
The day audience numbered about s.
600 and the night audience about 1000.
The Sells show has three rings and
a stage and there is something going
on all the time There was a great
deal that was new
A Topeka audience never saw a re
volving trapeze before and very few
Topeka people ever saw Cradoc, who
uses Roman battle axes as Indian
clubs They were heavy enough to
have chopped one of his legs or his
head off if he mad made a mistake.
While the performing sea lions have
been in Topeka before they did their
work better this year
People who saw the circus last night
would be almost willing 10 swear to-
day that it carried at least so women
AS matter of fact there are not more
than ten. They are kept busy, how
ever. One Of them has been riding
bareback for over twenty years and
has been married four times but she
wears beautiful blonde hair in the ring
and a fresh complexion and is agile
enough for 10 So it is all a mistake
about circus women breaking down
early.
There was an accident last night
that made people hold their nerves for
a moment
Ryan, the man who did so many fun
ny things about the hippodr0me track,
appeared in fun dress with three other
men in tights and prepared to do his
lofty tumbling act. English was on the
trapeze and Ryan was to swing across
the tent, turn a double somersault and
be caught by the hands by English.
He had hardly caught when there
was G. crash and the bar or beam that
the trapeze was attached to broke
squarely off. Ryan succeeded in get
ting back to his flying trapeze but
English fell to the ground on his side.
he was not badly hurt, but the act.
which promised to be one of the best,
was stopped.
The eight women in white who ap-
peared on the black PEDESTAL is a stat
uary exhibit We're perhaps the best To-
peka has seen.
There were 81 distinct acts in the cir
Gus.
For the first time since he so nearly
killed Joe Beattie, his trainer. at Kan
sas City last week, Dick" the bad ele-
plant, was permitted to work in the
ring with his fellows.
The Forepaugh-S show was not
a disappointment in Topeka nor did To-
pelza disappoint its owners for they did
not lose money here yesterday.
