whole bunch Of moonlight nights. 1t

The Matthews, IN unique and startling
feats of Juggling introduce some decid-
ed novelties in their part of the per-
formance. Zeb and Zarrow are GER
tainly without peer as a team of trick
bicyclists, and their work was greatly
appreciated. In an act consisting of
trapeze ladder, walking rings, head
and one-hand balancing. Fred Welcome
and Pearl Forepaugh are certainly de-
serving of the mighty storm Of ap-
plause they received. Their act has
never been equaled in this city. Bur
ton and Brooks are pair of good ones.
They are humorists and singers, and
will prove drawing cards for the week
