breath as he cavorted around on the
animals back one minute he was
balancing himself on the horses lett
ear and the next he was clinging to
his tail or doing a hop scotch over his
back. Leo Youngworth again appeared
I'm the ring and managed to keep ut
least a little of the attention from Mr..
Mccarthy by q series of fits when
evolved around him, and were only
persuaded to depart with the advent
of the whisky bottle. Not until he
had drained it did the clown stop shak-
ing for drinks
From the crowd there came a roar
and some one in the boxes wanted to
know, "Ohl Leo is 1t really true|
Educated Animals Amusing
The educated CANNES under Professor
Rawsons direction excited interest in
one of the rings, and "Heine' krohn
introduced his Teddy bear. Heine was
sufficiently amusing in himself, put
the bear-words fail.
When the potpourri of clownlsh
comicalities arrived, accompanied by
the trained animal absurdities, the
funny cup was overhowing. There
was Dick Bronson and his educated
goose; Cecil Frankel and a speckled
pig which he lured to all sorts CT
acrobatic stunts by means of a baby's
bottle filed with milk; Little Stevie"
Brodie as Little Bo-Peep," DR.. A. D.
Smith as the old news woman, and an
excellent burlesquer the doctor made
Frank Bryson as "Rube," Fred O..
Hines as "Hop Lee" assisted by w.
II. Mulholland, and c. G. Helps as,
well-they were called musicians; Herb
ert l.. Cornish's educated giraffe, in
numerous marvellous specialties; Leo v.
Youngworth's terpsichorean giraffe,
and Nagel, a two-faced hummer who
showed the sights to Leo Gibson and
e. L. Jones, country jays accompa-
MED by Dave Martin, a cumbersome
copper"
Narrow Escape for Giraffe
Two clowns tried to ride bucking
burro and the speckled pig was also
induced to try the burro, but they
both balked and the pig went run
ming away squealing, with the clowns
at it's heels.
Leo Youngworth's giraffe came very
near coming to grief The giraffe lost
his tail by contract, but the giraffe
very nearly lost his skin by accident
and a broad eXpanse of blue shirt or
sky or something blue was revealed
beneath the brown exterior. These two
ing into the tent to the tune of THE
Mosquito Parade" and they bowed to
the ladies in the boxes as if they had
done nothing else all their lives.
Sis Hopkins was most divinely tall,
though hardly most divinely fair, and
she had acquired the very latest meth
DDS of chewing gum. Sis, or ole of her
friends, had an umbrella born in Bal
timore and raised in any old place.
She also had a hurdy gurdy from
which she brought sweet strains rival
ing in beauty the bursts of song from
party of feline providers Of the early
informing.
Mabel Rex FaVorite
Mabel Rex, the high school saddler
ridden by Don Hogue, received a large
amount of merited applause, and the
verdict passed upon her beauty was
unanimously favorable.
Jeffries the Great, the modern Sam
son who outdid Sandow lifting and
juggling heavy weights, was good for
one good turn and Herbert L. Cornish
with his horse, Wicker Willow, did
some really fancy riding of variety
that was all his own.
Prof. Rawson, with his wonderful
! equine pets in series of drills Car
and De Elmer, the tumblers, and the
| Eddy family in acrobatic stunts, were
| few of the other attractions preced
| ing the appearance of the belle of tn,
evening. A creature to gaze upon anC
to. dream about afterward was tn
"Senorita Arabella Copprino, tn
worlds premier equestrienne, direc
from the Royal circus, Madrid,'' tn,
| bill announced her, and she lived VI
to her name. She appeared upon {
| white steed in a gown that was a Gre
alton of the circus dressmaker. Cut
short in the neck and considerably
| shorter in the skirt, with sleeves cut
out entirely it revealed fine manly
neck and shoulders that might be the
envy of many maiden fair A crown
of golden hair, a face most divinely
fair with just the right amount OF
rouge upon it and a smile bewitchine
constituted the chiefest part of the
senorita. Andrew ]. Copp, jr., surely
you have surpassed yourself. Mr.
Copp' s-pardon, Senorita Arabella Cop
prino's riding was only excelled by
her personal appearance. She did a
skirt dance on the horses back and
such little feats as standing upon her
head on the moving animal seemed
to be nothing at all to her.
Herbert l.. Cornish as 'Happy Hool-
igan" assisted or rather hindered the
lady in her feats.
Hippodrome Is Finale
A series of thrilling military exhibi-
tions were the contributions of the Ere
mont Zouaves, under the direction OF
Capt. A. d. Cloud.
The grand finale came with a great
revival of the ancient Roman hippo
drome contests, including a clowns
wheelbarrow race, in which fifteen
CLOWNS Took
race, with four entries; a man versus
horse race, and grand Roman stand
ing race on thoroughbred horses.
In the pauses between the acts the
spielers were busy, and Oscar Lawlel
made thrilling speech inviting every
one to attend the side shows.
Everyone went. The shows were
packed, and little wonder. Imagine Mai
Everhardy as the fat lady, Lady
Clarice." Do you wonder everyone Went
to the side show? Mat Everhardy was
