The particular features of the Ting
ling Sisters and Great Paws United
Shows that is attracting a lot of at
tention at present is the act in which
a "veiled lady" said TO be one of the
most prominent society leaders of this
| city, will do a sensational bareback
! riding act The act will be given at
| both performances.
The management declines to disclose
| the lady's identity, and they would
much prefer 1t should remain a secret.
| They decline to discuss the matter, but
| It is stated on excellent authority that
| the young woman is one Of the most
| beautiful of the great number with
| which Worcester is blessed. Further,
| It is predicted that in event of her
Identity being known. it would startle
| some Of her society friends. Whether
the fair equestrienne will be found out
remains to be determined. She will be
closely yelled during each perform
| ance.
The parade route has been revised
and during the past few days, the
committee in charge Of this feature
has put in a lot Of hard work. Pa
| rade narticlpants have been requested
