lumine the streets, the air will be
filled with the strange cries Of the
peanut merchants and watching the
gaping crowds, the elephants will go
| through their multifarious "stunts'
with only an occasional trumpet note
Of protest, the living skeleton will per
form his daily task of eating three
square meals and losing flesh; the
flying meteors will take a few more
trapeze-impellied journeys through
space, the champion bareback rider
will turn sumersault from one horse
to another, and land on his feet, with
out turning a hair; the acrobats and
contortionists will violate a few
physical laws and come up smiling;
Volo, the volitant, will ride so feet
through space on a bicycle, and An
cilotti will turn a complete somersault
on wheel while "looping the gap"
and each will deprecatingly bow him
self out of the big tent like a man
who has performed deeds Of daring
and is too modest to acknowledge it
and, finally, after the string of race
horses has set the nerves OF the crowd
| tingling with the excitements of fiat
races, and Roman standing races and
monkey and pony races, and races be-
tween two and four-horse chariots,
