BIG CROWDS VISIT
CARNIVAL GROUNDS
WELL PLEASED AUDIENCES WIT
NESS SHOWS AND HAVE GEN.
ERAL GOOD TIME.

The carnival grounds which are
well arranged, We're alive with people
men, women and children-last eve
ming for three hours. The visitors
had o good time throwing confetti on
each other, visiting the many shows
riding on the merry goround, taking
trips on the Ferris wheel, throwing
balls at the niger babies and trying
to knock Jack Johnson's teeth out.
To much praise cannot be occorded
Mr. Nat Reiss for the high-class at
traction which he has brought to this
city and on every hand is heard moth
ing but kind words OF appreciation
Three OF the most thrilling acts in
the show world are presented twice
daily. That of Chefals, leaping the
death-trap loop; Capt. Gray, the cham
pion high diver of the world, and Max
imo, the high diving dog.
Among the many attractions pre-

is the best, as all of them are far
above those usually carried by the
average carnival company.
The deep sea divers is an interest
ing attraction, and the way in which
diver works under water is fully
shown and explained. In addition one
of the divers enters the water WITH
out a suit of armor and remains un-
der the water for nearly three min
yates while his mate demonstrates the
way in which dead bodies are recov-
cred and closes the show with dem
onstration of how vessel is often
times raised to the surface. Don't
miss this feature, which is instructive
as well as entertaining.
Another place to be visited is Gay
Paree.' While a great many people
might feel little backward or timid
about venturing into Gay Paree," i'm
plying from the names that it is not
moral enough to be seen, it might be
said that they need have no fear, but
can afford to take the chance to visit
the little theater, seeing the girls work
in a series of refined songs, and do.
ing number of clever dances, also
their clever work in posing.
The Old Plantation, is a revelation
to the patrons of the carnival, at ev-
cry performance the show is crowd
ed by delighted audience who sim
ply roar at the funny doings and
antics of old Uncle Rufus and Aunt
Dinah.
Irene is the mystery Of the entire
carnival. After a committee has been
called from the audience to pass a
solid iron hoop over her head to show
that there is no wire, she floats away
into space, while the iron hoop pass
ed under her feet becomes useless,
and she lies upon her side and floats
in graceful pose before the audience
with no visible support.
One of the most interesting attrac-
tions on the ground is the Bohemian
Glass Blowers. Every conceivable
shape and form of glass ornaments
and vessels are blown there and right
before your eyes. A large doll is
shown wearing a solid glass dress
that these people have made.
The most unique part of this show
is a miniature steam engine, every
part of which is made o fglass, and
it runs continually. 1t is made Of
several colors of glass and is very
beautiful.
Lack of space forbids us to give the
other shows any further details but
suffice to say that, there never was or
never will be seen, a carnival COM
pany more complete nor more up to
date than the Nat Reiss shows, and
are deserving of the patronage Of
every lover of good, clean amusing
shows.
