Big Circus Business in Mexico.

Letters from HUT Slack, who has
taken his circus from Iowa through
the southwest to Mexico the past few
weeks, reports that he is doing an
enormous business in Mexico. Non e
of the big shows have ever attempted
to exhibit in Mexico because of the
difficulties attending a tour of that
country. Stringent laws, slow oper-
alton of justice courts, etc. might ruin
show that was held mp for some
slight misdemeanor, and heretofore
none of them have attempted it. Mr..
Slack is showing only in the big
cities, and everywhere is doing a
capacity business, taking down the
side walls of the tent and selling
standing room for wide circle about.
His prices are 81, So and 81, Mexican
money, and he is daily turning thou
sands away. By shrewd foresight he
provides for lavish entertainment of
the Governors of the provinces at
each city, and is using every possible
means TO prevent an outbreak on the
part of the natives or trouble among
his show people. During few weeks
spent in Mexico, if the present bust
ness keeps up, he will make larger
fortune than most men make in q
lifetime, and will come out Of the
country with upwards of hundred
thousand dollars made inMexico alone.
He has been preparing for this trip
for several months, and it would have
been severe financial blow to him
if it had not been success. for the
expense Of preparation and getting
there was very large.
