number the houses. Madison is
growing and should put aside
village ideas.

No others dare even attempt to exhibit

performers, and in addition to all the
standard circus acts there are score or
more of sensational features. There is
not space to enumerate them here, but
there is no possibility of any one being
disappointed who goes to see these
shows, no matter how high their antici-
pations may have been raised. All lines
