no arrests. and the only complaint made
to the police department was that two
Ford cars had been stolen.
The performance. or rather the multi
plicity of performances, wehe of the high
est order, although the track events
were eliminated on account of the crowds
overflowing the seating capacity and taxi
ing possession of the track. Tho opening
number, Cinderella" a fairyland specta-
Gle, was the picturesque feature of the
programme. 1t was gorgeously staged
and we'll acted every feature of the story
being well portrayed The costumes were
magnificent.
A small army of sawdust comedians
kept the audience in good humor with
their quips and their capers and while
many of the stunts were bordering on
the ancient, they were still amusing.
MARVELLOUS ACTS
Probably the best individual performer
was Mile Leitzel, a muscularly little lady,
who performed some astonishing feats of
strength and skill on suspended rope.
The Clarke Brothers, in an aerial act,
were marvellous, the act consisting of
triple doublesaulting and reverse flights
through space.
The performing elephants, the eques-
TRANS, performing dogs, and novelty ac-
robatic troups were of the highest order,
while the specialties, such as the Japan
csc exhibition of jiu-jitsu, the Icelander
wrestler, the whirling Arabs and canine
and equine statury poses, with scores
of other acts made up performance that
was bewildering in its immensely, but
highly pleasing.
The wild west show given at the close
of the big performance presented many
daredevil feats of horsemanship on the
part of the cowboys, Cossacks. rough
riders and others that made up the per-
Torrance.
AS a rule everybody was highly pleased
with the performance and it Is safe to
predict that at the return of Ringing
Brothers circus in this city a two-dayt
performance will be staged.

BOYCOTT ON FOODS
 REDUCES MOVEMENT

NEW YORK. Dec. H. Bradstreet says:
 Consumption continues to overtax production, yet there are few halting signs. such for instance, as less feverish- ness in pig iron. possibly due to the fact that prices are up all around, and diminished buying of some food products that have been subjected to boycotts. But over and be- yond such cross-currents as have developed are evidences that holiday buying is of enormous proportions, that numerous industries are im- peded by inability to get suf- iicient cars. either for re- ceiving or sending out prod- ucts, that jobbers as well as wholesale purveyors of staple merchandise are making rec ord-breaking sales; that wages as well as dividends keep going up, and that in vestment securities continue to be absorbed on a large scale.

Two cases which were to have come to trial this morning in the District Court have been settled with out going to trial and the cases were dismissed this morning on motion of the attorneys for the plaintiffs.
 Gebhard Becker. vs. Charles Gold stein. A. D. Nash, F. Hyder and Welch, which grew out of injuries alleged received as the outgrowth of dispute over certain mining claims was settled and the case of Stewart vs. Forrest which grew out of dis pute over rent, was also settled.
 The next case on the docket to come to trial will be the one of Cash Cole vs. the Carstens Packing Company.

It is thought that this case will also be settled out of court as the opposing attorneys are work ing with that end in view.
