The Kraemers. acrobatic bicyclists,
performed some clever tricks that won
hearty applause. The act of Sadi AL
farabi, the equilibrist. was great, and
some of his almost wonderful feats of
balancing caused chicken hearted

considerably to this turn, which, how
ever, needed no dressing to make it
good.
The head liners, Bessie Bonehill and
Gus Williams, both made big hits. "Our

Nothing Known Hero.

There is talk in railroad circles out
west of division of the management
or the Southern railroad. 1t Is reported
that the Southern Is making an effort
to lease the Cincinnati Southern, and
IL this can be done there will be two
systems. Cincinnati will be made head
quarters for the lines west of Atlanta,
Ga. and Bristol, Tenn, with Samuel
FELTON,. of Cincinnati. in charge.
The lines east of Atlanta and Bristol
VIII constitute the eastern system, with
headquarters probably in Washington
The Atlanta Constitution says:
rms sounds very improbable, but
tnat the people of Cincinnati have been
talking it for some time"
NO REASON GIVEN.
No particular reason is given for the
division of the system, but the prece-
dent of the Pennsylvania road is quoted
rms company has two systems, one
east OF Pittsburg, with headquarters
IN Philadelphia, and the other west of
E'lttsburg, with general offices in that
city"
Mr.. FELTON,, who is mentioned as the
ern system, is at present receiver of
the Cincinnati Southern.
The Constitution says 1.-THE chances
are that the Southern will get the Gin
cinnati Southern, as the business men
OF Cincinnati believe it would be bet
ter for that city.
THE WESTERN SYSTEM.
Besides the present lines owned or
controlled by the Southern railway, in
Guiding the Cincinnati Southern road
