as 1t will, no doubt, In st. Paul today.
The programme was winner from start

1t was a continuous three hours per-
formance. in all things up to date, full of
variety and innovations and with a spice
and go that never for once permitted in
terest to. lag, but sustained 1t steadily to
the finish.
One of the great drawing cards OF the
circus is the number contributed by the
congress of rough riders, recruited frem
the United States cavalry, some of whom
had seen service with the rough. riders
at Santiago. Some idea of the great pop
ularity of the rough riders may be had
from the fact that the bare announce
ment that they were to appear called
forth frantic applause from 600G throats
When they came galloping down the
course with stars and stripes flying, Capt
Hugh Thomson and Lieut.. w. S. Her
rington at their head, all yelling like
flends, one could easily appreciate how
they should have struck terror to the
Spaniards.
