in the near future, under the title
role of Society Circus, Winona is the
place and the time is Feb 26 and 81
Who the prima donna is, The Free
Press does not know, but suffice it to
say that things are doing and the Y
NJ c. A. Society Circus of next week
at the Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium will
be one of the events of the season. II
is announced by the manager that the
circus this year will be the best ever

Gus.
There will be three rings in The
main show, a loop the loop, high dive
and ski slide. Then the clowns will
be out of sight, some of the time al
least, doing aquatic tricks in al
aquarium especially constructed at
great expense for this important so
ciety event. Then there will be trained
animals of every species from Labrado,
| to Congo-the rhinOcerOus will ever
laugh to the time of ''Under the Trip
zeal Moonlight" A side show will alst
be evidence and altogether the event
will take on the aspect of the rea
thing. It's a good way to raise money
and possibly Mankato can do likewis,
with all its varied amateur talent, al
! its command.
