which is a better show town than the
national capital. Ii is not down on

was a success, both for the manage
ment and for those who wanted good
entertainment The city was turned
over almost entirely to the big attarc-
ton. The programme commenced
promptly and in earnest from the
start. No one but the child whose first
visit it was to Il circus could possibly
tell all that was down. Hardly any

ful than the acrObatic feats performed
