The manufacturers of automobiles are
now getting their machines down to
fine points, and almost daily there is
some new record made public showing
the great possibilities of the horseless
carriage. Mr.. Albert Brush, designer
Of the Cadillac, succeeded recently in
balancing his machine ON two eight
inch planks, raised a foot from the
ground. The difficulty of this feat and
the wonderfully fine response machine
must give to the touch of its driver can
be imagined, when by actual measure.
ment it was found that 1-16 of an inch
either way would spoil the equilibrium.
Throhbing as if in nervous strain, the
Car stood poised in the air; the weight
was nearly a ton and single ounce
either way would unbalance the ma.
chine. The Cadillac is one of the best
known machines in the country. and is
expressly suitable for the purpose of
physicians and business men. The
Cadillac can be purchased for $3.50. The

fact that Sig Sautelle s new big 25 cent,

ticipating the coming of this vast tented
amusement enterprise. with all its
mighty wonders. This season Mr. Sau.
telle has enlarged his shows in every de-
partment and his greatly augmented list
of performers aud feature acts has made
it necessary that he add a. third ring.
Overlapping the rings is a veritabie maze
OF trapezes, ropes, and bars, while on
the ground and in the air hundred or
more men. women aud dumb animals
are employed in rendering il performance
which taxes the best skill and utmost
strength and the very lives Of all. The
clowns to be sure, are fnnnier than ever,
but the animals which turu and respond
to the slightest whisper of command;
the men and women trained by life
practice to place themselves into ill.,
human knots or swing through space
with unstretched hands; the post grad
yates of the equestrian both male and
female; the elephants. tigers, lions aud
all other wild animals are each and all
worth travelling many miles to witness.
And when all these things are un.
der one management-well, it is Sig
Sautelle's circus. From the opening of
the programme, extraordinary, peerless
equestrian acts, acrobatic feats, clown
ish gambols, races around the hippo
drome track and all the rest follow with
the precision and skilled execution one
is accustomed to see only in Sautelles
shows. Free to all patrons of the big
show is the 100000 menagerie, filled
with rare and costly specimens of animal
life from all quarters of the globe and a
visit to it will prove of more value by
far than a tour of many of the best
known geological gardens in this coun-
try or Europe.
