HORSES WALTZ
TO MUSIC AND SMOKE.
of the Ringlings' Fea-
ture Acts is the Saxon Trio.

The wonderful Schumann horses
which have electrified all Europe n
at last being exhibited in America, and
it was naturally the enterprise of the
Ringing Brothers that has brought this
about. The people of Newark will have
an opportunity of seeing this act on
Friday, May 81, hat being the date of
the visit of the worlds best show.
The Schumann act is the grandest
achievement. of all the animal trainers
that have ever lived. 1t has no prece-
dent in history. The animals are under
the direction Of Professor Edward
Wulff and were trained by the wizard,
Albert Schumann. A simple and direct
statement of what the marvellous ami
mails do would scarcely. be believed.
One would think 1t q physical impossi-
bilitys for a horse to raise a glass of
water to its mouth and drink every
drop of the contents, nevertheless that
is what these animals do. They also
push each. other about in immense beer
barrels, they walk on their hind feet
and waltz to music. One of them

The trained animal features are one
of the wonders OF this years program.
There is a new elephant act in which
a half dozen elephants telephone to
each other from one end of the main
tent to the other. There are pigs that
skip the rope and play on musical in
struments, zebras, Ilamas and camels
that do many wonderful things in one
big act and a donkey that rides a
velocipede.
Another of the sensations is the
Arthur Saxon trio of strong men. One
Of the three lifts over a ton and a half
in weight. 1t is a question whether
among the countless millions on the
earth three others could be found to
match these wonderful giants. Two of
them form the pillars of a bridge over
which passes an automobile with six
passengers.
Then for good measure there is the
most CHASTITY of all thrillers, the auto
mobile double somersault and the act
of the great Spanish wire dancer,
Roblidello. The show will come here
with an entire new outfit. The two
performances will be given exactly as
presented at the Madison Square Gar
den in New York city. Such q hit did
the show make there that in the five
weeks of its stay 10000 people were
turned away unable to get seats.

-IVE or six years ago a London
religious periodical offered a
prize for a list of 100 of the most
popular hymns, the list containing the
largest number approved by all the
contestants to receive the prize. About
1000 lists were submitted, naming 80
authors. AT the head of them all stood
Augustus Toplady with Rock of Ages"
but Charles Wesley and Isaac Watts
were next with seven hymns each, led
by Jesus, Lover of My Soul' and
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross"
Charles Wesley is doubtless. all things
considered, the great hymn-writer OF
all ages, Judged by volume as well as
qualify of work, and not by such iso-
lated and exceptional achievements as
"Rock of Ages" Mrs. Adams's Nearer,
Ny God, TO Thee" and Newman's
Lead, Kindly Light" But it Is to be
remembered that Wesley came after
Watts, and that Watts gave the hymn
what 1t had not before save by chance
compact and balanced form, with
a beginning, middle and an end, which
has been ever since increasingly de-
manded and from which there are no
signs of departure.
The present tendency in religion often
appears to. be somewhat mystical and
i-ntrospective-a tendency away from
the frank. and manly strains of Isaac
Watts. Yet it would appea from the
researches Of DR.. Bates that this ten
dency is. after all, Of the surface only.
AS long as men worship God in the
open afr, and standing erect as men
before the problems of life and death,
such hymns as Isaac Watts's when
Can Read My Title Clear" I'm Not
Ashamed to Own My Lord" stand Up,
Ny Soul, Shake Off Thy Fears" when
! Survey the Wondrous Cross He
Dies, the Friend of Sinners Dies" and
Before Jehovah's Awful Throne can
never be forgotten.
