Thursday was the big day last
week in Canton, Yankee Robinson's
circus held the floor all day and the
great crowd that came from miles
around to see the show was good to
see. The show was first class In
every respect and gave a good show
for the money. The clowns kept the
crowd in an uproar most Of the time.
The best part of the show was when a
lady singled out Dan Bragstad as an
object to bestow her affections on and
started to walk with him. Dan failed
to show any nervousness and seemed
TO like her attentions, as he walked
off with her. The lady soon gave up
her attempt to bluff Dan and walked
of.
