EVERYBODY At THE CIRCUS
LARGE PROPORTION OF PoPULA-
TON ATTENDS BIG SHOW.
Small Boys Feed Peanuts to the Ele-

by Clowns.

1t seemed that almost the entire popu
lation of the District attended the Bar
mum and Bailey circus yesterday after
noon and last evening and again this
afternoon. The young, the old. the grave.
the gay.-nearly everybody was there.
They came from all directions. Old Vir-
ginia sent her quota. Maryland did her
part. Everybody of the "circus age" in
the District joined the throng. for all
roads seemed to lead to the big tent. The
magic name Barnum and Bailey was sufii-
cient to arouse the circus spirit in the
most staid.
The first performance yesterday after
noon found the great tent simply packed.
Not a vacant seat was to be found after
the performance began. The effect OF the
of the tropics and desert and jungle was
apparent everywhere.
Small Boys Out in Force.
Small boys by the thousands turned out.
Frowsy- headed youngsters whose greatest
delight is to throw peanuts to the ele-
plants or to gaze in awe at the giant
hippo and camels and other beasts Of the
menagerie. presented the appearance. at
times of not having slept for at least
twenty four hours. They crowded into
the .bleachers" where there were seats
and where there were not They stood
up. They hung on to the sides Of the
tent and at times balanced themselves on
one leg on small allotment Of space. and
they enjoyed themselves. Later they sat
on the ground Immediately in front of the
hippodrome track and watched the clowns.
tight-rope walkers. acrObats. and trained
animals doing the various stunts:
Through the dashing races they retained
their position and only when the chariot
races were announced did the juvenile
population show the least desire to step
back. Round and round the track drove
characters until the race was on In
earnest. Then as the turns were made
and the finishes became more. and more
exciting and the wheels would slide at the
turns in the track folks In all parts of the
big tent could see young America on
the alert. When the chariots dashed by
and showed the least inclination to- skid
ages would make wild dash for places
of safety.
"say, Wasn't It Fine"
The youngsters looked long at the peo-
pies of the various nations In different
parts of the big tents. but though many
did not know the difference between a
Phoenician and a Tyrolese. they enjoyed
the view of the costumes. Then, at the
close came the La RaXue sisters in their
mad auto race. Somersaulting in mid
air."
Then the stands were cleared and the
crowd started for the exits and the me-
nagerie. Every one met everybody else
met each other. If only to jostle. Semi
nary maids with chaperons and others
about to call some chap ''her own went
merrily on with ever and anon the re-
mark: Say, kiddo. wasn't 1t fine?
