There was great cTowd on the mid
way last night and despite the rain, cool
weather and excitement in town, the car
nival has done a phenomenal business dur
ing the past week and over $1,000 persons
have paid admission at the front gates of
the midway.
A great crowd Is expected this afternoon
and tonight and there viii be special fea-
lures I'm honor of the visitors of all ma
tions. There is quite a congress Of ma
lions among the people Of the shows in
GLIDING English, German, French. Turk,
Algerian, Syrian, Arabian, japanese, Hin
doc, Swedish, East Indian Chinaman,
Egyptian, Canadian, etc.
La Belle SaMna, the daring dancing girl
who executes the sensational dances in
the lions den with an audience of four saw
age African lions. is now busy rearing the
two little lion cubs Of Spithre, the untam-
able lioness. which by reason of the saw
agery OF the mother had to be taken from
her ito preserve their lives. They are be-
ing ted with milk from nursing bottles
like children and are coming along nicely
under the tender care Of the daring train
err Captain Dyer came near being killed
yesterday while taking the cubs away
from the mother who was rendered fur
ious when she realized what was being
done. She beat herself against the bars and
raved like mad for awhile after they were
taken. This is the second family Of cubs
Salna has reared on the bottle. She Is
very fond Of her fuzzy little pets and they
sleep in a cradle in her living wagon with
her at night.
A trip to Melodia, the musical attraction
of the marvellous Willards, which is en-
tirely new this season and which includes
some of the most wonderful specimens of
musical machinery ever invented, still
proves to be the star attraction of the mid
way and the big canvas pavilion was
thronged with delighted audiences yester-
day afternoon and evening. Several new
instruments have been introduced since
the show opened and the program now pre-
scented by the Willards is truly one OF
musical magnihcence.
Mile Pauline, the leopard trainer, who
was nearly killed three weeks ago in Bal
dimore by one of two new East Indian
leopards which she went i'm the cage with
for the first time, has now almost entirely
recovered and will make another attempt
Ito subiugate the savage animals tonight.
II will be her second appearance in the
cage with them and extra precaution will
be taken TO prevent a repetition Of the at
tack of a few weeks ago. The leopard is
the most dangerous and trcacherous ami
NAL TO subdue and cannot be trusted a
moment behind the trainers back. They
are therefore dreaded by all trainers and
Mile Pauline is one of the very few who
will have anything TO do with them In
their savage state.
Efforts are being made to continue thS
carnival part of next week and II salts
factory arrangements can be made this
will be done, the gala event lasting over
until Wednesday next. If this is done q
will be a special concession on the part OF
general manager Levitt OF the Gasklll
Mundy Levitt Carnival Company to IN,
Wilmington Eagles.
