Monday was a great day in Browns

people who came to attend Robinson's

they carry and Is were counted in the
parade. Only one performance was
given, that in the afternoon, as the
circus disbanded Monday night, going
into winter quarters at a point in
Indiana. There were 725 people con-

business manager and other agents
were unusually courteous and made
many friends in our city.
