CIRCUS DAY IN 0AkEs.
A Good Attendance Here Saturday to Witness
the Pan-American Shows.

A Good Attendance Here Saturday to Witness
the Pan-American Shows.
Saturday was circus day in Cakes,
and people came from the country
and towns all around to see the ele-
phant. The special train of the PAN
American came in on the Northwest
ern from the south and the work of
unloading the wagons and putting
up the canvas occupied the entire
forenoon. Just as we we're eating
our noon meal along came the "mam-
moth" parade, a band, steam CALI
ope, two elephants, and few cages
with animals IN them, so we are told.
The show under the big canvas CON-
menced at 2:3O, and there was moth
ing new or entertaining to those who
have once seen a circus. The riders
performed the same tricks on the
steady steeds, the clowns cracked
the same old jokes, aud the trapeze
performers the same tricks we have
seen and heard a dozen times. The
side show was something fierce.
But it was nice day for the
younger generation, and we rather
think they enjoyed themselves.
"Young America" was around the
canvas all day long, sn,i was very
busy in carrying water to the ele-
phsnt, and the tent men used him
in various ways for an admission 70
the big show. The attendance we
averaged would be around the 1900
mark. The show was clean. as far
as we could see, and ,s composed of
ladies aud gentlemen, even to the
lemonade and peanut venders.
