received first prize and Lawrence
Thomas second. The boys did SO
well that the judges realized they
had difficult task, and later de-
cided, as had the audience, that
both boys of the team composed
OF Lawrence Thomas and Darwin
Sage were entitled to prizes and it
was thus arranged. Mr.. Clark an
nounced that Herschel Trip out
classed all the boys.

lively vaulting was done, the

dive by Herschel Trip. The So
called chariot race closed the pro-

The circus was carried out en-
rirely under the direct management
of F. w. Clark of Spokane and
Prof. Spoerry of Rathdrum. In
statement to the audience, Mr..
Clark took occasion to congratu-
late the people of Rathdrum on
the fine start they had made in a
school gymnasium, the greatest
individual credit for which, he
correctly attributed to Prof. Spoer-
ry whose courage and energy in
conceiving and carrying out the
enterprise has made it success.
Mr. Clark further said that the
hardest part OF the work was done
and he hoped it would be contin-
ued. He said he had fully decided
to quit athletic work, and this will
leave the field open in Rathdrum
for another man as director next
season.
The contest for the gold medal
to be awarded to the best athlete
in Rathdrum was announced to
take place this (Friday) evening,
April 3, in the gymnasium.

ATHLETIC CIRCUS SUCCESS
Large Audience Attended Home
Talent Exhibition.
GOOD PROGRAM GIVEN.
Everybody Pleased With the Var
inns Stunts and n-:ll.

| The circus in the Rathdrum
gymnasium last Friday evening
was a successful exhibition OF
local talent athletics About two
hundred people witnessed the
performances and appeared to
appreciate every part of the pro.
gram.
The first number was a parade
OF all the animals which com
menced about 8:15 O'Clock, all the
classes of the four local athletic
clubs participating in the march
around the gymnasium floor. The
parade was followed by an Indian
club drill by class of six bows
and q girls of the high school, led
by Superintendent Spoerry. 1t
was literally applauded, being the
result OF much careful practice.
Other numbers followed rapidly,
the audience enjoying every ex
hlbltion of skill, every funny Incl
dent or ludicrous mishap, of which
there were a few. Much of the
fun was contributed by Assistant
Physical Director Peck of the
Spokane Y M. c. A., as the tall
clown, and Dewet Bradbury.
SIX year old boy of Rathdrum, as
the short clown. Besides Mr..
Peck, Messrs. Secord and Kemp,
also Spokane athletes of note,
assisted in the. work of the evening.
Horizontal bar work was per
formed by Prof. Burgess, Ross
Saunders and w. H. Edelblute,
many sensational turns being exc
cuted. They were assisted bv the
tall clown. E. Sullivan and
George Sylvester starred on the
parallel bars, performing a series
OF stunts without an error. The
ubiquitous clown was there too
with his mirth-provoking activity.
A part of this work was Sylvester's
hand stand feat which was much
applauded. The long horse work
was performed by Rollin Thomas,
Isaiah Layers and ]. l. Burgess.
Mr.. Layers was slightly disabled
IN the midst of the exercises by
falling upon the mat while execut-
ing a back roll, and the ever ready
clown was called upon to complete
the exercise for him.
The chair balancing acts of Geo.
Sylvester, high school student,
elected much applause. He stood
with arms folded and came to a
sitting posture with stack of
chairs resting on his chin. Then
placing Dewet Bradbury, the small
clown, in chair he balanced it in
like manner.
The human pyramid was built
and caused to collapse, constitut-
ing the "Downfall of Heitman,
Henry Heitman, a seven year old
boy, being the apex.
Hugh Sage and Jesse Crenshaw
executed series of set exercises
on the vaulting horse.
Some sensational feats of tumb-
ling were shown by Messrs. Sc
cord and Kemp of Spokane and
were greatly enjoyed.
The girls and boys of the high
school, led by Prof. Spoerry, went
through complete series of wand
exercises as used in the gymna-
SUM work. Their movements to
the piano accompaniment were
precise and showed careful drilling.
Miss Jean Wenz furnished the
music for all the class and team
work.
Mr.. Clark put all the members
of the smaller boys class through
series of regular exercises.

are backing the Connellsville team
Of the ieaane stFaightehed out. their
forfeit money was turned over To
Jimmy Gronninger, league president,
and the club was placed ON the high.
way Of league baseball for the sum
mer season.
1t was the intention to have a
meeting OF the league, but none could
be held until Connellsyille's fate was
determined. League representatives
hung around the Yough House all
day waiting for the result of the Cox
ers' deliberations and finally had to
go to their homes without having a
meeting. One viii be held within a
few days at the call OF the president
at which the schedule for the season
win beNadopted and everything made
ready for the seasons games.
The Conceivable fans had 81 ,97S
subscribed for the club but the lead
ersof the movement were anxious to
make the amount $4,000. and some
were little timid about going into
the league with only that much
money in sight. After much chew
ing and flushing and jabbering and
Ginning it appeared that the stun
was all off.
Mr.: Gronninger got Luclus Hoge
down to the meeting and the latter
managed to get the Cookers into line.
Six fellows agreed to go on the note
for the forfeit money. Five Of them
signed up but the sixth man couldn't
be found for an hour or so. When
he was finally rounded up he grabbed
up pen. saying that he would sign
up cheerfully. and just as he started
to write he exclaimed: by the
way who is going to be PRESIDENT"
This started some more chewing and
for four hours and a half the ques-
ton of president was discussed.
Another meeting was held after
supper and Mr.. Hoge and Frank
WEIGH, who represented the Clarks-
burg club at the meteing, ana who
had to return to this city at G
O'Clock. got word over the long dis
lance telephone, last night that the
sixth fellow had signed the note and
Mr.. Gronninger had finally succeeded
in putting on the finishing touches.
So Conneilsvllle is going to be in
the league, at least for s1,9TS worth,
and everything is lovely.
