 Each year as the aftermath of the visit of the circus comes the +holer" of the disappointed ones or of those who feel that they have been work ed for suckers" by the showmen- Yet each year is all this forgotten when the next circus comse to town and all are eager to hurry to the big tent and go through the same pro cess of money separating again.
 Last night and today is heard the aftermath of the visit of the circus 'esterday. There are the usual num- Der who cry robbery and the fur her usual number who say mo good fake" or it was just the anne as last year.
 One particular cause of complaint his year, as it was last year, was he reserved seat question. Many aid their dollar to get in and were disgusted to have to pay another if cents to get a really good seat When they saw some of the unoecu- lied reserved seats torn down short after the initial grand parade their disgust increased. This is one of the owls that was heard last night.
 Others. notwithstanding the fact hat practically only one number was advertised which was new over asst year, came away disappointed hat they saw the same things they saw a year ago. In these days oi reat three ring circuses it is diff ut to get new sensations and the howmen gobble them when they an find them. They are not often ound and one or two new ones a
 ear is the best that can be expected.
 There are more than usual this ear expressing disappointment or dyerse criticism. Yet 1t is not a far " or distant prophecy to say that hese same ones will be eager to ake ip the next circus which comes Douglas and the same circus an
 ther season. The showmen still stick to the axiom of P. T. Barnuu hat the public like to be fooled and the dear public proceed eacl year to demonstrate the truth o | that axiom,

This was done after re- eeipt of letter from him saying that he would possibly be able to get away before October 1, when the season at Seattle closes. possibly leaving by the first, since Seattle had the pennant cinched.
 Raymond is we'll remembered as a short stop here. This year he le.l the North Pacific league, hit way up with the leaders too, and has been signed up for Kansas City for next year.
