Fourth Ring of the Circus
rriet Ouinby i'm Leslie s.

tlulilpy III lIeSlio .. While attending the Barnum and Bailey
 circus. have you ever paid much atten- ton to the fourth ring? Only three ring, you will say; but you are wrong. There
 are four; but as you are part of the fourth and possibly an active performer therein, you probably have not paid as
 much attention to 1t you have to the other three. The fourth ring Is the audi
 ence, and the antics performed in this
 greatest of all rings afford as much genu-
 inc amusement to the regular performers
 as those of the circus people do to tho audiences.
 You may draw your own conclusion about how much the attendants in the
 animal section of the big show enjoy the
 performance of visitors There is all
 ways at least one amateurs hypnotist

 mothers who feel such sentimental con- fidence in animals that they hold up their infants and encourage them to hand bits of apple or nuts through the bars, appar- cnty never dreaming of danger until a
 keeper comes running. The remarks made by visitors about animals and the mis-

How the Japs Fight Fire

Tokio Cor. New York Herald.
 As display of low comedy talent, of acrobatic skill and of lung capacity, the review of the Tokio fire brigades at Hibi- va park may have had l, certain degree of interest, but as a demonstration of practical efficiency in dealing with what the Japanese translator loves to desig nate "conflagrations," 1t was unutterably farcieal After witnessing such lament able display of ineptitude one could only marvel that the capital has hitherto es- capped total destruction or that the ray ages to which Osaka was subjected las, year were restricted to some 20,000 houses.
 It is true that the metropolitan fire companies represent great advance upon what they were during the pre-Meiji days. when the greatest solicitude of the mem- bers of the 'hi-keshi-gumi' was devoted not to the task of extinguishing the flames, but rather to that of preserving from incineration the little effigy of god or patron saint, which every company unfailing1y carried with 1t on these ex- peditins for good luck.
 Old residents bear witness to the vocif- erous energy and enthusiasm with which the firemen fulfilled this self-appointed task while the fire in it's turn merrfly discharged its mission of gutting every thing inflammable within an accessible area. If, however, in the end the firemen escaped in withdrawing with their little wooden god still intact they were inn mensely pleased with themselves and were satisfied that society at large could have no ground for demanding anything more than this.
 Cool and capable in war the Japanese, despite centuries of familiarity appear to lose their heads when fire starts. Con fusion reigns supreme. Connected with each fire station are large numbers of what may be termed auxilaries who have really nothing to do with the actual task of extinguishing the flames but whose duties consist in appearing on the scene at the earliest possible moment armed with lanterns and in thereafter helping to remove goods and chattels from the buildings within the danger

JACK ATKIN WON $9O,OOO
 AND ENTERS RETIRED LIST
BY BERT F. COLLYER

Chicago, April 29.--,Jack AtlSin, Scrieb- CTS giant sprinter and winner of s9o,00O in purses during his turf career, has been retired to the stud and will be mated with 20 selected matrons during the pres ent season. It is MT. Scrieber's inten- tion of having the son of Sain-El Salada take the place of his famous daddy at the head of Woodlands stud, where are quar- tered nearly 800 head of thoroughbreds, including 115 yearlings.
 Now seven years of age, Jack Atkin has raced almost continuously winter and summer, and a more consistent racer never wore iron. Always the apple of his owners eye, he reached the summit of his racing career by winning the Sl0,- coo Dominion handicap at Fort Erie True, the company which he met did not call for extended delineation, but the fact that the son of Sain successfully nego- tiated one and one-quarter miles after having been condemned as spIinter pure and simple, was more balm to own CT Scrieber and Trainer Powers than the lucrative purse Shortly after that race the horse developed a spread hoof, which was aggravated at Juarez the past winter to such an extent that he was thrown out of training and this precipitated the decision of MT. Schreber to retire hirn permanently.

His last victory was in the Tampico handicap last December at Juarez, when, with 12S pounds on his back, he ran the six furlongs in Ill 4-5
 In giving the great sprnter a place at Woodlands, MT. Schrieber is again in- dulgng his pet theory In blood lines for Jack Atlxin is a superior bred ani- nal. By imported Sain, which in turn was a grandson of that great race horse, derby winner and sire, St. Simon, he Is inbred to the great sire Galopin, his second dam being by Satchel by Galopint from that great race mare Culver dam of the wonderful La Fleche and Memior.

 woodlands Farm, where Jack Atkln will be allowed every opportunity of per- petuating the blood lines of his progeni- tors, was established in 1894, and then comprised 125 acres. Since that time MT.

There is an expectant craning as the elephants with their lt- tractively filled houdas and gay trappings amble past followed by walking Romans and clowns and frivolousiy caparisoned horses mounted by slender young per- formers, dainty in satin and chiffon and spangles. A variety of smiles greets the participants in the pageant as they slowly pass-smies of admiration mixed with awe from the young, and smiles of every variety, from the sympathetic to the Air. tatious. from the older ones. There arc always a few over-confident men who wave a hand or hold up a cane in an att tempt to catch fleeting glance from one o1 the pretty performers as she passes. and there are always plying glances from the puritanicaly minded who think circus folk are lost souls.

New York, April 29.-James J. Jenrles' worlds champion heavyweight has come out of his retirement long enough to give his expert opinion on the standing of Al Wolgast, whose bout with 'one Round" Hogan, Jeffries witnessed the other night.
