JULY 5. 1913. will be marked with
white stone in the memories not
only of the children who gazed for
the first time upon the ELEPHANTS
tigers, lions and other curious crea-
lures, but also large number OF old
er spectators from Eagle River and
adjoining towns who attended on
that date. the excellent performance
OF the Sparks circus.
From early morning, when the long
circus train, pulled into Eagle River,
until they folded their tents" at
midnight, the CIRCUS was the
sole topic Of interest, and even the
unloading of its cars Of interesting
The parade was gorgeous and in
feresting to the little folks who were
tasting for the first time the most
fascinating pleasure Of childhood,
while the stirring music from the
gayly-garbed bands recalled to older
spectators the bygone days when they
Too, in some distant scene, stood en-
tranced at the sight of their first
circus parade.
The side-show was clean little eX-
hibition. notably free from fallirs and
gambling devices.
The Spark Circus does not adver-
1ise itself as 1.-THE biggest show on
earth, and the presentation here
was not a colossal display Of wonders,
but highly creditable performance
OF as daring and clever feats as can be
witnessed in any show on the road
We shivered with delicious horror
at the dangerous exploits of the
Fisher sisters, who swung in the air
suspended by their teeth: our hearts
stood still as the huge elephants ar
ranged themselves in a pyramid only
a hair-space above the PROSTATE
trainer. then, when he arose, jauntily
waving his cap, we hastily assured
our friends that we ''knew all the
4ime he was perfectly safe; with
bated breath we watched the intrepid
1ion-tamer control his fiery pets; we
laughed and applauded at the clever
tricks of Capt. Wesley's trained seals.
All in all, every feature was well
executed, and Eagle River appreci-
4ates the fact that the troupe did not,
like many so-called "artists" gauge
their enthusiasm to the size of the
town, and did not diminish their eff
forts to please because we are
.tFar from the crowded marts OF men,.
and hence supposedly unsophisticated
and uncritical.

and for the good breeding of its cast,
