A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT
Local Theatre Gives Example Of Com
ing Events Casting Shadows
Before

One of last nights pictures at the
Colonial Theatre, the popular local
playhouse, that was, blythe way,
packed to the doors, with a large
and representative audience, twas a
picture that was a great, free ad-
vertisement for the circus here to-
day.
Coming events cast their shadows
before, and last night the unconscious
free ad. did this with a vengeance.
The picture of the circus was most
realistic, and must have thrilled the
boys in the audience, for it was a
genuine thriller. 1t showed a little
boys fondness for the circus and his
especial admiration for the clown. He
wanted to go back after the show
was over and see the clown, but of
course, was prevented.
He played clown at home as his IA
vorite pastime, and later he grew sick
and the only thing that saved his life
was the sight of the clown, who was
induced to visit the sick room. With
the circus in town today, the pictur
was greatly appreciated.

L0ST-A GREAT BIG CIRCUS
Somewhere Between Annapolis And
WashingtOn-Finder Please Re-
turn Here And Receive
Reward

You can't lose me Charlie, but vou
can lose circus. Whoever heard of
lost circus before. Certainly not
the Oldest inhabitant in Annapolis,
and we have some here who are nine
ty and upwards.
But circus did get lost last night
or early this morning somewhere be-
tween Washington and Annapolis.
and when found was terribly mixed
up. An ad. for the Lost Col. was
sent the Evening Capital by wire
less, but before the type could be
cast the circus was found, going to
show it always pays to advertise in
The Capital.
The Frank A. Robbins circus got
lost and meandered in the direction of
Washington. Perhaps it thought
Congress was in session or the second
class middies were having their big
class supper and banquet at the New
Willard, and the sailor lads would
furnish the whole show-an audience.
Be that as it may (as MILDLY Rausch.

of The Masqueraders was wont to saw,

where between here and Washington
is beyond question.
A lost circus is an awful calamity.
but this one was found and will give
two performances, rain or no rain. on
the Gardeners lot here today. The
Frank A. Robbins big circus arrived
here at sometime near 2 O'Clock this
morning. Now every self-respecting
circus comes to town at 4 or 5 a. m.
and some the night previous, but be-
cause this one got lost ns.the push it
was unloading the animals and things
at z a. m.-four hours off time. And
then it rained. 1t is apt to do that
most any time, but especially when
circus comes to town and the rain
drops at $50 were scarcely and more
copious than the average little boys
tears.
Mr.. Robbins first thought
when he struck town was that places
on the map had got somewhat mixed
and this was Maine, and everything
had gone wet. 1t is not Maine even
if it is wet. The town has absorbed
a degree of moisture stored up in it's
savings bank all summer, and now let
loose on an unsuspecting circus that
did such an unusual stunt-not down
on the program-GOT LOST.

1t will be recalled that Mr.. Nelson

ROBBINS CIRCUS HERE
An Entire New Show-See The
Head Walker, HillOry Long and
Jimmy Burns The Gentle
man Wire-Walker
WHAT A CIRCUS EATS
A City Under Tents 800 Pounds Of
Meat Consumed at Single Meal
Three Full Meals Daily And
Good Appetites =

Everybody who saw the Frank A.
Robbins new and greatest All Fea-
| tured Shows here last year, needs no
introduction to the circus this year.
While there are many changes in
this years attraction, there are few
of the great features of last time the
Robbins circus was here. Everybody
remembers that beautiful stallion,
the dancing horse Duke, and his
charming mistress, and the pigeons
| trained by her. These will be fea-
ures of the evenings performance, as
well as the Hocum Family, that
clever aggregation who do wire walk
ing and also equestrian feats.
By the way the dear little tot of
the Hocum Family, who is so clever
in her acts, had a birthday yester-
day and was seven times one She
feels much older and bigger today and
is the pride of the circus.
A great feature this year is Jimmy
Burns, known to the laity as "The
Gentleman Wirewalker. Jimmy is
wonder; he does every stunt on
slack wire known to circusdom. He
dances the cake walk, rides a bicycle
and unicycle, jumps over a barrel
on the slack wire and does other hair
splitting acts as thrillers.
But greatest of all features and a
new one in today's circus is that of
Hillory Long, who comes downstairs
on his head, whose act is a marvel to
all the professional world. Besides
this, he stands on his head in trapeze
and eats a banana, drinks glass of
water and smokes a cigarette. Long
is said to be the only man in the world
who crosses the platform and comes
down flight of stairs on his head.
The act is an all-round thriller, and is
worth alone the price of admission.
The circus carries an excellent band
that played for an hour before the
afternoon circus commenced. The
program of music was excellent. The
circus carries Royal Italian Band,
the best in the country on the road.
Does a circus eat? Ask some of the
management. The following is a
sample of the daily menu for every
| body:
Olives Celery Pickles
l4illlS NGCh SldluS OySltT OOCkldll
Fish Chowder Mock Turtle
Broiled Spanish Mackerel
Esealloped:Oysters
Prime Ribs of Beef Loin of Pork
Clam Fritters Corn Fritters
Sweet Corn on Cob Tomatoes. Baked
Sweet Potatoes Mashed Potatoes
Watermelon Boiled Rice
Crackers and Cheese
Tea Coffee. Milk
A circus puts something in town.
For example this %<morning there
were 200 lbs. of fish, Spanish macke-
rel, brought here forssbreakfast. The
contract today for bread in town was
$50 loaves, and 800 pounds of meat.
! Thus it will be seen that a circus does
not take everything out of town, but
puts a great deal into it. There are
283 people in the Robbins circus. The
circus people at one meal eat from
280 to 800 pounds of meat, and have
served them three good meals day.
The animals eat about 100 pounds of
meat day.
In the parade today there were seen
180 of the finest specimens of horse
flesh ever exhibited here or elsewhere.

At the Naval Hospital yesterday il
was denied most positively that the

WHY INCREASE SALARIES?

According to bill introduced by Assembly
man Salter OF Ormsby county, the governor sec
rotary OF state state treasurer, state comptroller
surveyor general and superintendent of public in
stfuctlOn should receive an increase in salary for
their service eXotficio members of the different
state boards There may be some good egiti-
mate excuse for this measure, but to the casual
observer it would appear, on the surface, that
these different state officials were we'll aware
when making the fight for office lust what re-
Enumeration accompanied the position they as
pred to fill Such being the case, it is self
evident that all were perfectly satisfied to serve
at the figure offered Therefore why should
1t be found necessary at this time to force upon
these officials more salary than they expected?
Provided Assemblyman Salter, or any other
member OF the present Legislature entertans any
fears that the accumulation of coin in the treas
ury will become too large, would it not be a
good idea to devote the surplus towards giving
Nevada exhibit at the Panama Pacific expo
Sltion III San Francisco in 1915, of which the
average citizen of this state need not feel ashamed
At the present time paltry $4,000 has been
appropriated for the purpose of erecting Ne
vada building and taking care of the exhibit
during the San Francisco fair. With the increase
that is proposed in the state payroll that amount
could be almost doubled by the time set for the
PanamaPacifc exposition. This amount would
fall far short of what Nevada OUGHT to do
IN the way OF demonstration at the natal year
of the Panama canal. Two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars would be small enough sum
to set aside for the purpose of placing this state
properly before the representatives of every
country in the globe who will be on hand at the
great event of the rehabilitated Bay City.
