with the yachting cap led the parade. Of the two files that marched into the ring the four men formed one and the four women the other. They ex- ecuted various evolutions--some- what after the fashion of the March of the Amazons" in the usual "com- plexion shows" of the more civilized world Then they stopped, and the two files facing each other in oppt sing ranks, they whacked their own and each others sticks in time with the strains of the music. One of their movements was to bring their sticks together behind them with sharp click; but the fat woman was so broad in the beam and her arms were so chubby that there was interference, and her clubs never struck in that movement. With that play finished the solemn procession marched out of the ring, and the grand entree was tinished-amid a burst of genuine and hearty applause by the really delight ed audience.
 The next number was very fair trapeze performance by two of the men.
 Then the fat woman again occupied the center of the ring, regaling the audience with conversational and musical monologue which was devot- ed to a recounting of the tricks of "the butcher, the baker and the can dlestick maker, ,-in fact of "the tricks of all trades but ours" Then the little girl came into the ring and noun nted table. upon which, with the aid of chair, very small hoop and straw hat she rendered contor- tion stunt" which would have won enthusiastic applause from any audi ence in any theatre or circus in the world. After she had retired the audience supplemented their appre. citation by throwing into the ring dollars and half dollars para la nina which she returned to the ring to gather, making an over flowing double handful.
 Then the fat clown mounted the table and made music for time with penny whistle, his grimaces and gest- iculations greatly amusing the easily pleased crowd.
 Then the fat woman who had chang ed her abbreviated, attire again ap- peared in the riug leading an aged but agile billy goat, which she put through stunt" consisting of climb
 Dg table and chairs and blocks built thereupon, and posing at perilous heights where his underpinning seem. ed constantly in danger of collapse When he headed downward from the heights he mounted he presented an appearance quite as decollete as that of the low corsage of his mistress.
 Then the performance wound up with pantomime. The fat woman personated the young wife of the fat clown, who had discarded his motley and appeared in ordinary garb, but as an old man. He was about to go away on a journey aud set man ser want to watch her. He was bought off by the lover, and stood guard for the pair, varying the performance by making love to the madame himself when the lovers back was turned. Then the madame and the lover, en. gagged in reading letter in which they were mutually interested, fell asleep in each others arms. The servant came in, and after considerable horse play awake and led away the madame aud substituted himself, the love- making of the still sleeping lover
