Barnes Big Three Ring Wild Animal
Circus it is matter of necessity to
relieve the tension with a laugh, at
times, in fact Mr.. Barnes strives to
intersperse his program with thrill,
a laugh and sensation in as near
relation as possible.
TO that end, while a number of
clowns of the two leggish variety are
employed, they are not alone the fun
makers. Bears wrestling with their
trainers, feigning intoxication. Kan
garoos that have been taught to box,
mules that are buckers and kickers,
elephants, dogs and monkeys are all
utilized as mirth proyokers. The pre-
mier of all is the big sea lion tom"
who acts as clown in the sea lion act

from the start and earns round after
round of well merited applause.
The Barnes Show will give two per-
fo.,narces in Ell Centro on Tuesday,

El CA nitro through Riverside county.
The distance from San Diego being
126 miles and the distance by the other

to furnish the produce, San Diego to
bring worlds market to the doors OF
the produ GERS.

amid great enthusiasm on the part
of all cltiAens of this section of the
valley. Automobiles were at the de-
pot to CONVEY the visitors to the high

men and worhen's club of Imperial. An
address of welcome was delivered by
Judge Il. C. Farr, in which he directed
attention to the need that San Diego
has of Imperial and the vast profit that
will result when the San Diego & Ari-
zona railway brings the traffic of the
Panama canal to the harbOr of San
Diego, erecting world market for
Imperial productions and making of
San Diego THE mightiest metropolis
On the Pacific coast.
d. C. Collier answered on behalf of
the visitors, assuring the citizens of
Imperial that San Diego was, eager to
boost any game Imperial might pro-
pose. He reviewed the purposes Of
the San Diego exposition and what
those purposes Npean for Imperial.
