CIRCUS PLEASES
GREAT THRONGS
Audience Tent Is Twice Packed
and Many Are Turned
Away.
PARADE'S ANNUAL HIT
FAST PACE IN ACTING BRINGS
THRILLING CLIMAX.

Fifteen thousand persons saw the
Barnum & Bailey circus yesterday aft
ernoon. more than that packed the
great audience tent last night. while
al least two thousand were turned
away. and countless thousands OF men,
women and children viewed the street
parade This great army attested the
interest that still lives in the great
American institution.
The magnificent crowds were IN
themselves a great attraction. but the
circus Ted the appetite or the thrOns
with an appealing variety OF good
things wherein thrills came fast upon
the heels Of laughs. Yesterday was
circus day. and the crowd began 70 as
semble along the line of parade long
before the first blast OF the trumpet
ers was heard. Up through the city
streets the crowd gathered until the
sidewalks were lined from the build
ings 10 the curbs. The parade made
its great annual hit.
Hustle for the Grounds.
BY noon the crowds began TO collect
at the circus grounds Eighth South
and Main streets, and from noon TO
midnight the crowd fingered. growing
larger during the afternoon and even
ing. and then receding as the events IN
the great audience tents were over.
The afternoon was hot, and inside
the great tent the heat was-shan we
say intense? The program didn't vary
much from the program OF three

ago. excepting that the participants

more daring, and the pace was so fast
all the way through that IL required
just such a climax as a man diving
head foremost from an amazing height
and landing on his chest TO top off the
show.
Menagerie Attractive.
The circus menagerie was never
more attractive, and never was there
a greater variety OF interesting ami
mails. II is a fact that Just prior TO the
opening OF each performance, II was
difficult for the attaches TO lure the
crowd away from the cages into the

gang fight sprang up, just in time for
the duke 10 see as much OF 1t as he

prisoners and the wounded were first

Gordon School TO Continue Sessions
Many improvements.


through recent arrangements made
by the board OF trustees of the Gordon
academy the Gordon school will be
run this year again as usual and Will
be under the direction of Miss Ada e.
Bently. Some time ago the board of
trustees thought that il would be i'm
possible TO continue the school any
longer on account of the great expense
they were under. Last year the tut
ton was raised and il was found that
the school did fairly well. With this
knowledge and with some additional
FUNDS which the board has recently
secured IL was decided to run the
school again this year. The same
teachers who We're employed last wear
Will be employed again this year. Con-
siderable improvements have been
been made during the summer months
so that the school will be enabled To
handle all grammar grades and the
first two years OF high school. The
school Will open September IA and will
run the full term.

HATCHETITE MARKSMEN.
New Officers to Be Elected-Cornell
Outshoots Locals,

Officers will be elected tonight in the
Rife Club of the George Washington
University. This club has charge of all
rife matches and contests, and has made
a national name throughout the United
States by It's brilliant record in the inter-
collegiate shoots. In these latter the
Hatchetite club has won the last three
and now has three legs on the cup pre-
scented by the National Association.
The president Of the club Mr.. F. Dloby.
has left college, Mr.. S. Truesdeil acting
as president in his stead. No pronounced
candidates for the offices have appeared.
the probability being that those at pres
ent serving will be retained. The position
of captain OF the rifle team, which Is now
held by Mr.. j. r. Fehr, one of the best
shots in the university, will probably fall
| to its present holder The captain Of the
rifle team is member of the Athletic
Council Of the university, ex-oficio. and.
along with the manager, represents the
rifle interests in that body.
The match between George Washing
ton University and Cornell resulted in a
victory for the Ithacans by score of
1853 to 1,547. 1t will be remembered that
only nine men showed up for the shoot
last Thursday night for the local boys,
with the result that they were compelled
| to forego the use Of a complete team The
score made by Cornell, however, was ex-
ceedingly good, and would probably have
carried off the palm with the local men,
even had the latter presented their full
hne-up. judging from the recent scores.
The next match takes place Thursday
night, between the Buff and Blue and
Louisiana University. These contests
| take place in the various towns in which
the universities are located. the scores
being telegraphed to the national secre-
tary at Washington, SO as to reach here
about Sunday.
