NORRIS AND RoWe's CIRCUS
They Give the Public Great Perform
ance and Al That They Advertise

ance and Al That They Advertise
Notwithstanding the weather the
circus tent was packed yesterday.
1t was all in all a great exhibition
and about four times as much as any
reasonable pearson could ask for his
money. =
Teh weather was very tnreatnln3
and it got worse as the time came to
open but the public not to be baulkei
took their water proofs and umbrellas
and went with all the children.
Every Indian in Western Nevada
was there with all the old men and
and young bucks and squaws and pa
pooses They sat through the show
a solid phaIanx OF attention but never
batted an eye or gave the performers
hand.
The band was the real thing. 1t
had the genuine umpah, umpah, boom,
boom music with its tremendous and
mornful stuff that shaded down to
frazzel and came up with waltz rag
time that would make your toes cur.
MIR. Vanderleith, just up from the
Wagnerian opera, said it was trivial
but the mob beat time all the while
and said it was just the business.
The circus only had but one draw
back which was tire three rings al
once and when every thing was boil
ing only cross eyed man could keep
tracE.
The tumblers in saffron tights and
their little yellow kids We're simply
wonders and won the entire audience,
The little lady in light evening COST
ume and green tights did some lofty
somersaulting in the air and only
fell in the net once but made gOol
and more after that. 1t is said that
every time performer hits the net
there is a slight docking of salary
which of course swells the net profit
of the show This was the only slip
yesterday.
The lady in orange tights. who rode
the horse. was very graceful and the
one in red tights who did the high
trapaze acts was pronounced by M
less authority than Attorney General
Sweeney as having a perfect figure
from the ground up. Major Dennis
conceded with these views.
The bike gang were something mar
vellous. They rode all over the whee'S
and did as much execution on a single
wheel as any where else.
They could take an old discarded
pedal handle and do as well with il
as with full fedged wheel.
One man who didn't get the ap
plause he should have elected went
up on top of ladder that didn't lear
against anything and staid there doins
stunts for ten minutes. If you don
think this is hard thing to do tr,
it.
Then there was the elephants VIII,
turned back hand springs and dit
trapaze acts.
After the performance was abou
two thirds over it began to rain pitch
forks and those who happened to b.
under the storm side OF the tent ha.
70 lift their umbrellas. They FINAL,
left their seats and crowded dow.
about the rings and it was and cd
sight.
They crowded in SO close that tn
bare back women who was balancing
her left toe into space from a prancin
charger brushed the ashes Of Die
Miners cigar. There We're tumblin
.Japs Of all sizes and girls in r2auv
lights and jugglers galore all mike
UP with Carsans best society Indian
Cowboys. and Chinaman and all ha,
ing a furious frolic with the rain con
.ng down in floods and dripping eve
everybody,
All hands seemed to enjoy the flu
seeing a circus at close range and Il
performers entered into the spirit of
along with the rest
The wind up consisted OF numb'
of spirited races around the Outsit
ring and this space had to be cleart
of the audience first
The camel and dromeGarv race W
trif1e slow The camels had all wo
out their trousers at the knees al
not had them rpoently Matched
The drOmedary was there in gre
shape. He can go hundreds OF mil
over trackless deserts and only tai
>ne drink week. He negotiates t
distance successfully by having thr
stomachs with a canteen in each
