BIG CROWDS AT RINGLINGs.
Despite Inaccesibility of Grounds
Tents Were Packed

That the Ringing Bros. circus was
extremely fortunate in striking To-
peka at the time of the state wide
fair, was shown beyond a doubt at
both the afternoon and evening per-
formanceS, when record breaking
crowds, filed the tent and viewed each
performance. A large portion of those
in attendance were visitors to Topeka.
The location was about as poor a
one as could have been selected. 1t
was practically inaccessible from the
street cars, and neceSSitated a long
walk through the dust and across the
Missouri Pacific. and Santa Fe tracks.
But despite this drawback. the circus
drew the largest circus crowd in the
history of Topeka.
And for the circus itself, Ringing
is always the best drawing card in
Topeka, and this circus seems to have
d little bit the best that has ever been
exhibited here. OF course the thrill
ling act of the circus, as was expected
from the bill boards, was that Mile. La
Belle Roche, who rides an auto down
a steep incline after which she turns
a double somerSault in the air, before
her machine again strikes terra firma.
This act was we'll performed last
night, not a hitch of any kind occur
ring and Mile. Roche alighted at the
conclusion of her act as sprightly as
though nothing out of the ordinary
had been perI rmed. There were the
usual number of ring and trapeze
performers, equestrian acts of unusual
caHber, japanese jugglers, clowns and
everything usually seen at big cir
Gus But everyone is so familiar with
the usual performances at a circus,
that a description of the different acts
would be useless Suffice it is to say
that Ringling's have better attractions
than ever have been seen in Topeka
before, even with the big circuses.
And the crowds were well satisfied as
was evident from the applause which
greeted the different performers.
