their marvellous beauty is comparatively
little known. Mr.. Perry spent several
months, some winters ago, travelling In
India. and the stereopticon slides he used
10 illustrate his lecture were, for the
most part. made from photographs which
he himself had taken.
Telling. first. something Of the life OF
the people of India, introducing, as II
were. the traveller to the country, Mr..
Perry described the religions which in
fluenced and inspired the art. A very
early carving was shown which gave dis
tinct indication Of Greek influence, and in
later sculptures kinship with China and
Japan was manifested. Wonderfully
wrought were the great gates which stood
before the temples. and interesting in
deed was the carving Of the great cave
temples. cut from the solid rock. Most
beautiful of all, however, was the Mo
hammedan art, elaborate in ornament.
the perforated windows. the inlaid wall
panels. the richly decorated columns and
ceilings were shown-designs we'll bal
anced, perfectly spaced and entirely ap-
propriate-such as are seldom seen today.
As the crowning achievement of art in
India, Mr.. Perry set forth the Tai Mahaj,

being called TO the fact that all the great

the great Sells Floto Shows come to
Springfield for one days engagement
on August 25th.
The wonderful success which has
rewarded the proprietors sof this
magnificent attraction this year may
be traced to two sources. In the
first place, the character Of the per
Torrance given is such as to return
full values for the money. In the
second place, these Western showmen
have become converts to the idea Of
popular prices.
For the nominal sum of twenty
five cents it is possible to see this
great attraction in its entirety. This
is som ething which has never before
been attempted in the history of the
big shows, and the results have more
than proved the truth of an argu'
ment in its favor.
