STRAW HAT STYLES.

Time was when several styles of hats made up the straw-hat season. One shape treated in smooth and rough straws was thought to answer mans demands. Now note the ef- forts put forth by manufacturers to each season. Nothing but tn e educa- ting influence of good ready-tO wear clothing is responsible for this condi- tion. The truth is, men now know how to dress better than ever before, and they insist upon getting into or putting on only those things which suit their individual taste exactly. The number of styles of straw hats provided by Meigs & Go. is evidence of the popular demand for individuality in hats. The ever popular sailor shape is there, to be sure, but treated in a number of different straw weaves and in various heights of crown and width of brim. The new low crown and wide brim affair in soft straws, with a roguish curl to the brim, is an innova- tion appreciated by young men, as is also the negligee hat, so-called, with a tilt to the brim behind and droop in front. The higher crown hats in soft straws, long affected by middle-aged men and elderly men, will probably never go out of style. This seasons Panamas follow in shape the style
 worn by planters generally through out the tropics. The shape is called the Havana. Children's hats show a
 eaning toward wide flaring brims in roughand smooth straws. Meigs & Co.'S display of straws is the most com plete they ever have shown.

To-day was Sun Brothers show day in Wooster, and while the show had but little reputation in Wooster, it drew much larger crowd to the city than was expected. The spread of canvas is by long odds the cleanest, neatest and prettiest ever pitched on the fair ground. Everything about the outfit is new, and prosperous air pervades everywhere. The parade at o'clock was creditable, the band wagon and animal cages substantial looking and attractive, while the music by the band and the gaily caparisoned horses made very good impression.
 The performance given this after noon was well attended, and as whole was quite satisfactory, and well worthy of patronage. The strongest features of the program were the four highly trained stallions; juggling act of George Sun was the best ever seen here, and pleased the audience immensely; Ardella family in the pOsturing and acrobatic tumbling are very clever; Ferris and Trevanion, aerial artists, made very good impression.
 The menagerie, while small, is at- tractive and clean. All in all, the show is we'll worth the small admission fee charged. Sun Brothers show ap- pears to-day (Friday, the 12th), on the Fair grounds, with performances in the afternoon and evening".

Ferris and Trevanlon, the aerial performers, have no equal in their line; the Ardello Family, in acrobatics and tumbling, are the best ever seen here; Dan Evans, clown, and Master George Sun, the youngest clown in the world, are uproariOusly funny, and made big impressions; the trained ponies, horses and dogs, showed high degree of sagacity; George and Pete Sun, jugglers, are without doubt premierS, as they are masters in their respective line.
