ANOTHER PLEASED CROWD
AT Ships INDOOR CIRCUS

The second performance of Ships
circus at the rink on Sixteenth street
last evening attracted another large
and we'll pleased crowd. the cold
weather seemingly not having any eff
feet on the attendance.
Mr.. Shipp is the "ringmaster.'' He
has worn his swallow tail" coat.
cracked his long whip, answered the
quips Of the clowns and directed the
movement of the exhibitions in the
three rings at enc time for so long a
period that he couldn't be bribed to
stay out. Of course the indoor circus
opens with IL band concert, by Bleu-
er's band, and of course there is Il
grand entree," followed by the equine
ballet, conceit now popular with all
the great shows and which was origi-
mated by Mr.. Shipp. The same white
horses are ridden into regulation
sized ring, built in the center of the
rink Of dirt, laid on planks and cinders
and covered with clean sawdust The
ring must be of exactly standard size
else both horses and riders are thrown
out of pitch. And the beauty of il is
that the audience doesn't have to
lock across a block of ground TO see
the ring; there is no 'hippCdrome
track" between the ring and the seats.
The great room is brilliantly lighted
and if the performers costumes were
not all spotlessly clean the slightest
soiled place would. be seen. But ev-
erything is clean, new and just as
good as Barnum. Forepaugh or the
Rnglings would have. And there isn't
word or action on the part of any
performer that even a Sunday school
superintendent could take exception
to. That's why Ships indoor cir
Gus always draws wherever il goes;
that's why the press of the cities Wis
tied always feel obliged TO say the
kindest possible things of Ed Shipp
and the people who comprise his COM
panies.
Tastes differ so widely that no one
person could possibly decide what is
the best feature of the big show. One
spectator does not like to watch the
trapeze and aerial work-it makes him
shudder to think of the danger; an
other does not like the contortionist
wOrk-it reminds him of "A snake. and
so ON through the list. But there are
features enough TO please all and some
that cannot fail to delight everybody
in the indoor circus. Miss Lowande
queen of equestriennes. does a regula-
ticn ring act. except that she wears
long skirt instead Of the abbreviated
costume of the majority Of circus RI
ders. Mile. Annette, one of the bright
est stars on the flying rings that the
circus world affords. is just as pretty
as when she was first seen. and much
more clever. The DaCuma family need
no introduction. Their lofty tumbling
act is stronger than ever and their
quaIlruple return act mid-air somer-
saults across the entire arena. is en-
fireiy new and startling. John Room
ey. undoubtedly the worlds greatest
bareback rider, is out for new honors
this year. and he is preparing TO in
trodace a feat new to the circus
world. a backward somersault from
the back Of one horse To that of anoth-
er following at full gallop behind.
This act is alone worth the price of
admission and will place Mr.. Rooney
in a class by himself. The double
