tent was put up yesterday afternoon
and the front will be up In time for

promises their initial performance.
All the shows we're we'll patronized
last evening and the crowd was well
pleased with the attractions offered
The Goodnight Horse" and the ami
NAL show were perhaps two of the
most patronized shows on the ground,
while "Uxieland," the motordrome,
the human roulette wheel and the re-
mainder of the long list of attractions
came in for their share of attention.
The Courier newsboys were guests
of the company last evening and enjoy

ferris wheel, and were then taken
through the list Of attractions where
they were allowed to EMO themselves
to their hearts content.
The rain this morning has left the
grounds in much better condition
than before, having settled the dust,
and the clear weather this afternoon
has done away with dampness. A rec
ord crowd will be expected tonight as
result.

He was charged with cruelty to ami

decision reasoned that to be guilty OF

would have to have committed the act
with intention, which they did not
think he did.
The case was taken before Justice

there again Hendricks, charging him

pleaded guilty and was fined $25
