MAINS CIRCUS.
Two Performances Yesterday to Big
Audiences,

Audiences.
The Walter L. Main circus and menagerie
showed yesterday afternoon and night at
the corner of 18th and H streets northeast
to crowds that completely packed the tent.
The performance was pleasing in every
part. the exhibit of horses being unusually
large and interesting, the act of r. II.
Dockerill, with forty equine beauties in the
ring at one time. being the feature of the
program. Another entertaining part Of the
show, something that wasn't on the pro-
gram, were the numerous clowns. whose
work was real funny and kept the audience
laughing continually. The bareback riding
of the women was unusually daring and
outclassed the exhibitions of the stronger
sex. The exhibitions On the flying trapeZe
was of the @high-class order and brought
forward the well-known Elliott family. the
leaders in this sort Of work. Armstrong
Baker and Armstrong were seen in their
well-known bicycle act. with the addition
of a straight-up fence at the top of the in
cline to add to the peril of the feat. In
trying to go around the top fence last
night VIII Armstrong had couple of nasty
falls, but got Off without anything serious
detailing him. .-,t
The performance was brought to close
with a realistic battle between the British
and Beers, the work Of the Gatling guns
being feature and the chariot races. The
after were close enough to keep the spec
tators on tiptoe of excitement all the time
the contestants being urged on by round
after round Of applause.
Taken as a whole the Main circus Is a
good one the army of entertainers keeping
up the interest all the time, there being M
unnecessary delays or bitches to mar the
enjoyment Of the spectators.

The resolution declares that under the for

was not a member of any political party
and who administered his trust In strictly
impartial manner. The creation Of De-
