SOME FEATURE ACTS
Robbins Circus Gives Two Shows On
GARDENERS Lot

Several good feature acts were seen
with the Frank A Robbins circus
here on Saturday on the lot of the
w. B. Gardiner Lumber Company.
Before the performance there was an
excellent concert by the Italian band
connected with the circus. Large au-
diences attended both afternoon and
night and showed their appreciation by
applause. Easily recognized from
last year was the Hocum family
father, mother, daughter and little
daughter, the latter very small and
cute-in their wonderful wire-walk-
ing exhibition and later i'm the pro-
gram the father and two daughters in
their artistic and skillful driving and
equestrian act. 1t is difficult to see
a neater and more attractive circus
act than this.
Jimmy Burns is clever in wire
walking. He proceeds to show the
reason for the exclusive title which
he so proudly bears-"The Gentleman
on the Wire" He walks, dances,
parades on stills and rides a bicycle
on the wire. Burns is easily fea-
ture. He is at home on both the tight
and slack wire
Then there is Hillary Long, 1.-The
man who walks on his head" said to
be the only act of it's kind in the
world. He balances on his head in a
trapeze, smokes and drinks there,
swings and spins on it in the same
posture, and finally walks" down a
flight of steps on his head. He is
only the second man who has ever
done this sort of stunt. The other,
were he alive now, would probably
wish he hadn't.
No prettier act was ever seen in a
circus than that of Belle Clark and
her dancing hcrse Duke. For five
years their act has opened the Bar
mum and Bailey shows at Madison
Square Gardens. The four trained
fan-tailed pigeons and the little dog,
with the dancing horse, make up a
combination that is really marvellous
in the response to the commands of
the lady trainer.

Despite grand jury efforts to the
contrary, some sections of this county
are direct violators of law and order,
and the lid was very much off yes
terday at Yoekel's Park.
The Baltimore Sun says:
AT least one section of Anne
Arundel county was far from "dry"
yesterday and proved a comforting
oasis for hundreds who sought to
quench Sunday thirst.
Indeed, the six hundred visitors
who saw the baseball game between
the East Brooklyn and Gardenville
teams at Yoekel's Park had no
trouble at all in assuagine dry palates.

Mr.. Green Garner, a driver for

with q painful accident Saturday
Mr.. Garner was in the act of pull
ing cake of ice, weighing three
hundred pounds, into position, and
in some unaccountable manner an
other cake of similar weight slipped
and caught his hand, cutting his
second finger of his left hand off be-
tween the first and second Joint.
Mr.. Garner Immediately went to the
Emergency Hospital, where it was
found necessary to remove a part of
the remaining bone, which had been
broken. He was able to continue his
duties, although suffering intensely
from pain. The end of the finger is in
the possession of a Main street mer-
chant, who had a similar misfortune
short while since. He will place
