rOiay horses, four of them which take
part in a f%our-horse act, ridden by
Fred Collier, late Of the Sells.Floto
cicus. Then there is "President Will
son." the high school horse, and the
posing horse, "Snowfake," late of the
Ringing Bros. shows, making up a
big program Of horse acts hard to
excel in any company.
The Workman hippodrome is the
mecca for all who enjoy circus and
wild animal acts. Here Mile. La
Rose, the intrepid trainer of seven
lions, shows them IF to advantage in
two aarenas, the Workman perform
ing elephants play baseball and keep
a barber shop, the comedy circus, dog
and pony show, unreliable mule
Maud" and other features are enter
tanning in the extreme and well worth
seeing, whilst, in addition, there is an
extensive menagerie filled with
strange and curious animals, reptiles
and birds from all parts Of the globe.
The auto stadium is the place where
they produce thrills at the rate of
one per second. Here four riders, n
Of them a woman, Mile. Marie, late
the vivandiere of the Chasseurs
D'Afrique of the French army, drives
her high-power racing auto around a
perfectly perpendicular wall, flirting
with death at every performance. She
is assisted in her efforts to startle
and amuse by SPEEDY" Fersh, the
champion of the Pacific slope, Can
non BALI Bell Of the Riverview park,
Chicago, team of motorcycle racers,
and "Thrilling" Eel Blanc, champion
of Mexico. All four Of the riders at
tempt the globe of death at n and
the Same time. and their performance
is hair-raising to a degree.
The Miracle Girl with Miss Eta
Louise Blake III the title role, is an
exceptionally good attraction devoted
to mystery. mirth and music~ The
poses are most artistic, the singing
and other features refined and the big
spectacle, "Pharoah's Daughter" eN-
%ceptionally interesting and worth
while. Miss Blake has probably the
most artistic and refined attraction of
the entire midway.
"Zetta' and the tango queens pro-
duce a clever musical comedy in tab
loid and get away with a large amount
of good singing and dancing in real
style, giving their patrons a clever
and amusing entertainment that has
not the slightest suspicion of vulgar
ity about it.
"Neptune's Daughter" is the water
show, where Miss Lillian Cooley
shows that she is an adept swimmer
and diver. She is assisted by "Reck-
less" Russell, the only ore-legged
swimmer now before the public Civ
ing exhibitions.
The Philippine Midgets. are the most
curious exhibit on the midway, as
we'll as being undoubtedly the small
est people on earth. They were the
leading feature of the government eX-
llibit at the late st. Louis exposition,
| and are considered one of the great
est attractions in the midget line. The
little man is "a inches in height and
81 years of age, the little woman
being three years older and three
inches shorter in stature. The Philip
pino Midgets should not be over
locked by any means.
Princess CARTE is another diminu-
tive entertainer, and is the big at
traction of the wonderland show,
which contains, in addition, seven
other human freaks, which include
the human mermaid and Prince Alaga-
yuma, the Algerian head hunter and
fire demon.
A Trip to MARS, Crystal Tangle
Crazy House are mechanical devices
that appeal to all classes; the ferris
wheel, ocean wave and merry-go-
round are the best of their kind and
help to make up a model midway.
A word must be said in praise of
the Workman band, which gave a
taste of its quality Sunday last, when
a concert was held during the even
ing. Every member of the organiza-
ton presided over by Professor Jane
son is in the soloist class and they
play real music, not the ordinary
clap-trap of the average street fair
or carnival. The singing Of Aline
Potte was also much appreciated and
generously encored.
In a word workman has a real
show far above the average carnival
class, attractions that are worth while
and a midway that is singularly free
from catch-penny and gambling de-
vices; in fact. a carnival that is all
that it ought to be, well produced,
we'll fitted and we'll managed.
