!, The Circus.

The circus hasinot lost any Of
it's popularity and it probably
never will. The circus is a dis
tinctively American amusement
enterprise. 1t has long had a
great hold on the affections of
the people. Circus day is always
a great day for the children, and
it is a great day for a multitude
of older people, who, of course,
must accompany children for the
purpose of seeing that the little
folks are properly guarded and
given the opportunity of witness
sing all that is to be witnessed.
The man or woman who has new
er been to a circus-to see the
animals-is the exception to
the rule. The boy who has not
seen a circus, even if he had to
carry several dozen pals of water
a block or two in order to earn
the price of adm ission-well,
there are not many such boys
There are not many boys now
days who inveigh. publicly at
least, against attending a Circuit.
And lit would probably do nc
good if they did make such pro-
test. The circus is a legitimate
amusement enterprise, and
those who patronize it have nc
apology to offer for their atten-
dance.
John Robinson's Big Circus,
Menagerie, and Wild West, the
oldest, largest, and richest show
in the world will be here or
Sept. A. This show is not in the
circus trust and will give one Of
the finest parades ever in this
city.
