rul 6nortS OF the management.
If 1t yer comes to town, and you
have not already seen it, be sure to
go. 1t is without doubt superior to
any circus travelling the United States.
1t is the cleanest. most refined and
up-to-date circus in the world. There
is an absence of grating or grafters
that is noticeable. The gentlemen In
charge do not carry that old time cir.
Gus swag about them. They are all
neatly dressed, polite, and look after
the individual comfort Of their pa

gathering in the shekels.
II the Howe Shows ever return to
this city it will have to have two can
vases as large as the one used yes
terday to accommodate the crowd. At
s o'clock every resered seat was TAX
en-, and at S.15 every seat of any
kind was taken, the only available
room being on the ground in front of
the seats. The tent was packed al
most to s~uffocation, and despite the
fact that it was too warm to be COM
Portable, nobody left until the last
race was finished.
The work of the acrobats alone was
worth twice the price of admission.
The finest lot Of trained horses in
the United States. the daring bare

ever carried with a circus were all in
teresting.

Brown of the interstate commerce commis- sion in support of the contention of the railroads that higher rates are just and right. and declared, that wages paid by the roads have increased largely, making operating expenses a greater burden. He also declared that the out look kpr next year is not good and that geneMl conditions are so considered in the Bdgment of merchants and those familiar with the trend of events Fur ther in his testimony Mir. Ripley said that he thought it not improbable that next year the earnings of the road may shrink so that they would not more than pay the dividends
 The pessimistic view of the president of the road was expressed during the direct examination by Attorney Frank Lyon, counsel for the interstate com merce commission, and followed ques- tjens concerning what proportion of each dollar earned by the road was returned to the public in the shape of wages for labor and in operating ex- penses.
