BABY LIONS THAT
PLAY LIKE KITTENS

Although the Floto circus parade
today was not the biggest one ever
seen in Tacoma, what there was OF
it was good. The horses were sleek
looking and of all sizes, from the
tiniest pony to a beautiful team of
blacks weighing 5000 pounds.
One of the most attractive feat
ures of the animal show is three
baby lions. They were born on the
21st of last month and are as play
full as kittens.
The performance tonight opens at
1880 with a concert by a band of 25
pieces. The circus performance be-
gins at 8:15.
The exhibition is being given at
the Eleventh street ball grounds.

The alleged Mardi Gras Carnival
which opened in this city last evening
1s nothing more than an aggregation
OF wandering sideshOws and acrobats.
And they are very poor sideshows and
acTobats.
The city authorities allowed this
money-grabbing aggregation to get in
to town on paltry license of $5 per
day, while they charged the Floto
shows, for one days performances,
$S5.
In addition to this rank discrimina-
ton, the city allowed the Mardi Gras
people to have all the electric lights
they wanted for a week for $120, and
then put UP poles and wires costing
about $75 of the sum received. This
morning the clty's arc lights on the
Carnival grounds were burning at 8
o'clock.
Nobody cared. The city was foot
ing the bill
The city council allowed the Mardi
Gras to come here, despite the pub

pers, one of which attached the box

Politicians Take a Hand.
The effort to interest Tacoma peo-
pie in the venture only partially failed,
however. Several politicians who saw
chance to make a good thing got in
on the deal, and they in turn induced
the city government to lend it's coun-
tenance to the affair on the allegation
that it would be a great thing for Ia
coma, etc.
The police department and the fire
department were dragged into the
street parade and made part and par
eel of the show for the benefit of these
politicians.
1t goes without saying that the only
redeeming features in the parade were
the bluecoats, the firemen and several
nice, pretty young girls who live in
Tacoma and were induced to lend
their presence in the procession.
AS for the rest of the alleged
"glittering pageant" 1t was, like the
other promised attractions, a great

woman purchased her ticket to Vie
