TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE TURNED
AWAY FROM ROBINSON'S CIRCUS
Crowds Pleased at the Two OPENING Perform.
anceS Of the Show

Circus day" is pleasingly suggestive
10 the average American citizen of the
period of delirious joy which reigns in
the soul of the small boy, of the de.
1noralization among all classes Of
help" and of their own involuntary
retrospection, back to the days when
as a boy, or a girl, for all O. that.
when glitter and glory, winding trum-
net blasts and the crash of bands was
q glimpse of youths paradise. to be
spread before the gaze in its entirety
beneath the heaving canvas later in
the day in the presentation of the great
show, of which the street parade had
been but whetting to the appetite.
Throughout the South there is a SEN
timent, which has grown with the
wears, of circus days of youth among
the older citizens, in which the name
John Robinson" holds a prominent
place. For eighty years three gener-
atoms have added to and perfected the
labors begun by the original John
Robinson, and the result of this labor
and experience was what was pre-
sented in Savannah yesterday. after
noon and evening. and which will be
seen again this afternoon and evening.
Early Morning With a Circus.

space of four gray hours of yesterday
MORN the topography of that spot i'm
mortalized by the struggles on the dia-
mond during the past summer, was
completely changed. Where base hits
lay in forgotten decay. stately tent
poles sprang up to cover with the vast
mantel Of canvas the errors spilled in
odd places. From first base out to

GINNERY AND SAWMILL BURN.
The Loss $s,OOO-Supposed to Have
Been Incendinry Work.

Been Incendiary Work.
Statesboro, Ga, Oct. 1S.-James G..
Brannen a prosperous farmer and saw
mill man, living about five miles west
of here, lost his ginnery, grist mill,
sawmill, and lumber yard last night
Twenty-seven bales of seed cotton be-
longing to farmers in that section,
making a total loss of 200 with no
insurance.
The first alarm was given after the
roof of shed protecting the planlng
machine was in flames. The shed
joins the gin house.
Mr.. Brannen does business one mile
from the scene of the Hodges tragedy
and it is not known that he has any
enemies.
Unfortunately for the people of Bull
loch county, both whites and colored
are beginning to attach an Importance
to the threats made by supposed clubs
relative to the burning and destruc-
ton generally of property of the whites,
as an outcome of the burning of Cato
and Reed for the Hodges murder as
the circumstances surrounding this loss
seems to be similar to that of the
burning of the ginnery of the Bulloch
oil mill.
Gin risks are always more hazard
Gus than the ordinary risk but the
fact that they are coming so close to-
gether in this immediate vicinity is
causing to be put forth the best eff
forts of the people of this county in
placing the blame where it Justly be-
longs, and rid themselves if possible
of criminals of this class

improvement in Savannah, especially
in the matter of street paving, since he
was here three years ago.
Large Crowds Delighted.
A circus cannot be critically ana
lived. Public sentiment is the best
testimonial of it's pleasing qualities.
The two tremendous crowds which
witnessed the two performances yeS-
terday were delighted, judging by ex-
pressions generally made. At the aft
ernoon performance the big tent, With
seating capacity of 5000 people, WAS
comfortably filed, the crowd number
between 5000 and 1000. At the (even-
ing performance one of the largest cir
Gus crowd ever turned out in Savannah
went to the grounds. At s O'Clock the
ticket office was closed. and no more
would be admitted. The tents were
full, and it is not the policy of the
management of the show t9 admit peo-
pie after the tents are so full that the
show cannot be seen. Last night
crowd was estimated at 5000. Punch"
Wheeler, the general press agent of
the show. stated that this was the
largest crowd he had seen on the
Southern tour, fully two Thousand peo-
pie being turned away
The performance was opened with
the spectacular presentation of the
scriptural tableauX, King Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba." This act
never fails to appeal to a certain class
of spectators. About 400 people are
used in the pantomime. The eques-
trian acts introduced by Mr.. Robinson
are one of his hobbies The premier
| artists in this line are Retained by him,
! and the presentation elected much APP
! plause.
Another feature act which is re-
| markable is Prof Winston and his
band OF trained seals. These clumsy
| looking animals perform with almost
human sagacity, ana are far superior
! I'm Intelligence than a dog or horse.
| Mr.. Robinson also lays special stress
| on the elephant act and the tumbling
| acrobats.
Large as the tent is. and the throng
| that fills It at each performance there
Is not a dull moment for any one.
| Never less than three acts are in pro-
gress at once, and many times there
are as many as six performances go
ing on.
The street parade to-day will leave
the show grounds promptly at o'clock
going down Park avenue to Drayton
| to Liberty to East Broad to Brough-
ton to Drayton to Oglethorpe avenue
| 10 jefferson to Park avenue, returning
to the show grounds.
The feature acts at both OF To-Day
performances are as follows
