There is certainly no travelling en-.

the world, which prese nts exhibi.

a more complete menagerie has never

enchanting scenes never before equal.
led or witnessed in the gorgeous aren-
ic display.
Every set in the monster program
is revelation to the beholaer. The
finest specimens of horse flesh in the
world. the highest aerialists in the
circus profession, the. champion rid
ers, both male and female, the finest
specimens Of the cutest ponies in the
world the grandest specialties ever
exhibited tine funniest clowns on
earth are with the John Robins De
Shows.
Aim ost every circus claims to have a
show that cannot be duplicated, and
an aggregation of performers the like
of which cannot be brought together,
but the fact is that every circus OF
any consequence has a double force
and double equipment.
There are really two circus troupes
which 3 travel about. The leapers
are liable to injury. A sprained ankle
will put one of the best performers
out, an there must be man to take
his place. Possibly the substitute will
make as great a hit as the regular.
Even the performing horses have their
substitutes.
It is a fact not generally known
that the John Robinson Shows carry
two complete large canvasses. In case
one is destroyed by fire or storm, an
other must be easy to put up. When
a failure to give performance entails
a loss of from $40, 1000 to $40, 600 for
expenses, the matter becomes serious.

GENUINE CURIOSITY

Young Boyd Lohr, who lives with
his father on the Greenville Road has
we'll grown chicken which is freak
of nature. 1t enjoys the privilege net
usually accorded chickens Of having
four legs. 1t, however, does not walk
upon four legs but has two very good
ones, like other chickens and two
others which are useless though well
defined. The two unused legs stand
out from the back part of the chicken
at right angles to his other legs. The
chicken is brown chicken OF good
frying size and its owner informs us
that this peculiar conformation has
in no way affected its good health.
The chicken is a genuine curiosity
and we recommend it particularly for
the GOrdOnsville market.

THE eiVE-In N LAST REPORT
MONDAY

The chasms were as quiet as the,
could well be expected to be ON yester
day. Bridging the chasm" went OF

now known by numbers /. 2, and s
Number One is the sink under tn,
fire engine house. Two is the sinl
that carried down the Wilson hous,
occupied by the Balsley family. Three
is the one back of the Wilson resi-
dence and under the Todd house. The
two first are on city property princi.
pally and they are being worked on
by the city forces under General Man.
ager Ashburner. No. is on private
property and is. being worked .: on
by Mr.. Partlow in his efforts to save
the Wilson and Todd houses. In
chasm No. . there has been installed q
truss and from it as center run out
long timbers in the nature of spokes to
the sides Of the cavern, then boards
are placed on the ends and they stand
SO as to brace and hold the wall from
further clipping in. This work is inter
esting though it necessarily goes rath-
or slow. It is thought that No. will
be sufficiently braced by tomorrow at
noon to begin on No. 1. The reason
for beginning ON No 2. first was that
it seemed more disposed to slip or to
slide in than No. l which was appa-
rently holding its own. In No. some
portions Of the Balsey house are stick
ing up through the bottom Of the crew
ice and tomorrow the derrick will be
shifted over SO that these pieces may
be lifted out as far as can be conven-
iently done. Mr.. Partlow had pump
going all day and his men were plac-
ing timbers and be was using concrete
in two places. One to support ::the
corner Of the Wilson bricLs house and
the other at the head Of the crevice
in No. 8. The water was materially
lowered by his pump. During the day
one of his workmen slipped and fell
into the water giving him bit of a
bath and jarring him considerably, but
no harm was done. Curious crowds
fingered about the scene all day,
It being court-day more people than
usual were in town.
Men work about these breaks now
without hest ion, jumping up ana
Town and swinging by ropes, as well
rs walk over the long braces much as
bridge builders do. Good work ing
men have now been gotten and the
work goes on with system and consid-
,rable celebrity. The only complaint
heard was that guy rope to the
lerrick which is fastened near the
ground, obstructs travel on Cen
raj Avenue. q very much crowded
1t might be possible
% stay that guy higher up on the
oole and thus let travel pass under
t. The derrick. however is to be
moved to No and the guy will be
changed then, of course.
