This is an age of immense proper.
lions, the scale OF every project is
being constantly enlarged. This is
certainly true Of the circus business.
The sleeping cars OF a circus are
fitted with stationary berths, that
can not be folded away, as in the
Pullman. They are commodlous and
comfortable than those in the palace
cars.
An extra sleeper is required be.
cause OF the many performers and
musicians. This, too, Is a stateroom
car, and cost in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. In order that he might pre-.
vail upon certain performers, who
had. never Travelled with circus, to
join his galaxy OF stars, Mr.. Wallace
has had several stateroom cars built.
II the readers could look In upon the
occupants OF these cottages on wheels,
they'would be surprised by the home.
Ike appearance OF the furnishings,
the shelves Of books and magazines,
the cozy corners. and the brlc.a.brac.
It all tends TO make the life OF the
performers a pleasant one, but is a
very expensive undertaking for the

About the only complaint heard OF
the Great Wallace Shows last season
was that 1t was too big. There was
too much Of it. In spite OF this, the
magnitude OF this show Will be more
bewildering than ever this year.
In order to secure the superior
talent, the new and original acts. to
be seen with the Wallace Circus It
was necessary that, even for this
year alone. there should be an outlay.
Of $4,000 above the allotted amount.
There was no other alternative. Mr.
Wallace wanted the acts.
When this modern great tented en- 4.

May Is, the universal verdict will be
that such performers are entitled 10

was not able to make any steady con-
sistent gains either thru the line or
around the end. Line plays were
spoiled by the heavy forwards of the
college team, and the Grinnell ends
