somersault in the air while white auto also containing a woman, follow ed immediately after 1t shooting un- der while 1t was turning in the air both landing about the same time, The explanation of the feat Is that the tracks are constructed with perfect mathematical accuracy, there being different tracks for the two cars, but that does not make it any the less thrilling,
 The audience was plainly keyed up yesterday for this final event and list ened eagerly to the announcements of the master of ceremonies Slowly the two autos-which, by the way, have no engines on them-were pulled by where the women were fastened in with straps, being almost hidden by the high padded seats. In the post CTS they are seen gaily grasping the wheel as If they were steering deftly through the park of an afternoon but, in the reality, they were almost hid den In lot of quilt-like arrange ments, and strapped tightly about the body as If they were in straight jacket while, at the final moment each adjusted around her neck an air cushion llke the well known water wings" When all was ready the band stopped playing and there was a deadly hush, Then a man at the foot of the incline called "Jhe autos will now make their thrilling descent" add ing. Are you ready?' Each of the women on the cars nodded as much as her strapped-in condition would al- low and, the next minute, the cars started down the incline, going faster and faster until the red one suddenly shot into the air. made the somcrsault as neatly and automatically as train ed dog and, a minute later, landed in a pile of mats, with terrific cloud of dust and creaking of springs. In the meantime the other had shot under 1t exactly as per order but as every hodys eyes were on the one in the air 1t is doubtful if many could see 1t.

 The evening performance was sub stantially the same as that given in the afternoon. A great crowd attend ed last night.
 The show moves on to Bridgeport to-day.
 The only drawback to the entire circus day proceedings was the poor trolley service. to which the thou sands of New Haveners were subject ed after the big show was over IL was the general opinion that there were cars enough to keep the dust besmeared crowd on the move but the starters at the field were bound to bunch the cars for the big crowd op- | poste the Yale field fence to the ut ter disregard of many hundreds who not wishing to risk their necks in the scramble at the top of the hill, jour neyed down toward the cemetery, or even further along in the hope of get ting a seat Instead of stopping to ac- commodate these persons the motor. men allowed their cars to crawl past as though no one was around, making no pretense of stopping at all. It was noticed that there were several mar row escapes from injury owing tc the disregard of these patrons of the road who took the trouble of walking a short distance to avoid the grea' crush at the gates of Yale's athletic field.
