U1elis hammered Boyle for. and not a
single hit went to waste.

JOHN ROBINSON'S SHOWS.
A Great Crowd Here Monday-The
Circus Tent Full at the Afternoon
Performance.

THE biggest crowd ever seen in
Henderson," That is what was said
of the crowd here Monday, estimated
all the way from seven to ten thous-
and. The attraction was the John
Robinson Shows and at the after
noon performance the large tent was
full, holding perhaps $500 or 4, 900
people. 1t was a fairly good show
though not up to expectations.
Some of the acts were very good but
there was not a single feature act,
unless the tight wire performance,
which was the best ever seen here,
may be SO styled, nor was there any
novelty introduced. Itwas the same
old circus performance with little
variation, some parts OF it being up
to the average, the rest OF it prob
ably not quite SO. But it was good
all circus performances are-only
there was too much of it going on all
at one time. 1t would have been en-
joyed more if it had been given in
broken doses. The menagerie was
larger and better than most travel
ing shows carry and contained some
rare specimens, all of them fine ones.
Great complaint was heard on ac-
| count of the exorbitant charge for
reserved seats. A large section OF
| the tent was set aside for reserved
seats. This necessarily made the
seating capacity outside of them
limited. The regular seats were soon
all taken and it was a reserved seat
or none. Sections A and c were 20
cents. Section B, right in the centre
and directly opposite the stage be-
tween the two rings, was so cents
So when seat could not be had in
section A or C, or through ignorance
not knowing there was any difference
in the price, one bought a reserved
seat in section B he had to pay as
much for it as his admission ticket
cost. And if accompanied by little
child he had to pay just twice al
much for him to sit down as he hae
| to pay to get him in. This was al
outrage pure and simple and ther'
was cause for kicking
| In order to avoid paying the full
license tax good part OF the clrcu
performance was cut out. There wa
no bareback riding although sucl
had been advertised on all the sho1
bills and this is one of the features c
a circus that is most enjoyed. Her
again the show people cheated thei
patrons. The people had paid tn
. full price and they were entitled t
see the whole show.
But the tax was paid all the same

The Speaking Tuesday.

Hon. G.. b. Watson filed his APP
pointment to speaking Tuesday. AS
had been previously agreed upon
Mr. T. t. Hicks was given an oppor
tunity 10 speak first. He talked
principally about national affairs and
the inconsistencies and. short comings
of the Democratic party as he saw
them. In all fairness to Mr.. Hicks
we must say his speech was disap-
pointment to those who know him.
He spoke one hour and a quarter.
Mr. Watson did not make the
speech he came here to make, and in
that he also disappointed his friends.
He began by paying his respects to
Mr. Hicks and that gentlemen could
not feel sighted for lack of attention
from then on. Those who know
Mr.. Watson know what manner OF
speaker he is. He is a hard hitter
and he hituMr. Hicks hard Tuesday.
| 1t is to be regretted that for lack
OF time (the afternoon session OF
court interfering) MIR. Watson could
not make his regular set speech and
discuss the tariff, and other matters
and discuss MIR. Hicks at the same
time as we'll as give him the benefit
of rejoinder.
