La Tena's Show.

La Tena,s Wild Animal Show will ex-
hibit on Wednesday, June 16. in Augusta
The show toured Maine last season and
had some of the best notices ever given
an exhibition of it's size. The Aroostook
Times of Houlton said:
Bright and clean and overlooking with
genuine acts and of worthwhile quality.
La Tenas Big Wild Animal circus played
to capacity crowds here last Wednesday,
pleasing young and old alike, with its ex-
cellent program of novel numbers more
than one Of which would have done
credit to a much more pretentious show.
Every thing about the show was clean
and we'll regulated, the costuming and
staging of the various acts was beyond
reproach and the entire outfit proved one
of even quality and considerable merit.
1t was Houlton's third taste of circus
entertainment this season and the show
offered by the La Tena outfit was Of a
high order considering the size. Both in
the quality of the program and in the
show, La Tena's circus proved a genuine
credit to the show business as a whole.
From the opening parade to the final
number there was not a dull moment for
somewhere, eltneT IN the ring, on the
stage or within the big steel animal are
ma an act worthy of notice was in pro-
gress. A feature that proved we'll worth
the price of admission alone was pro-
vided by Wesleys seals an aggregation
of trained animals that would be hard to
equal anywhere. They play ball, play in
a band and one old fellow actually sue
ceeds in walking a tight rope unaided.
In vaudeville, Wesleys seals would be
termed a big time act, as circus at
traction the number has few equals.
Other animal acts worthy Of more than
passing notice were Walter Allen and his
performing elephants. Ralchman's bears
and last, but by no means least, Mar
guerites lions. A fancy riding act, fea-
turing a tango on horseback, savored of
the Barnum and Baily show and was
Sdone with grace and ability by two
dever equestrian performers. The pro-
ngram also included a very clever troupe
of wire walkers who did many novel
tricks and a gifted family of contortion-
lists besides a number of aerial perform
ers of merit. Trained dogs. small army
of clowns and host of other attractions
added the necessary variety and all in
all was a fine entertainment.

Of the line, that at the Augusta end
being the catching Of cells, which are
said to be abundant in this part Of the
Kennebec river. Capt. Chase has a
lot of eel traps which he sets along the
water front and reports that he makes
a good haul every night. some Of the
eels being big ones as thick through
as a mans wrist. These fish are
shipped to the New York market where
they command good price.

building factor with merchandise as it

a business gives it a personality. Or
rather it makes its personality known

is only a mirror held up to the mer-

valuable only as it is made to in
