Robinson Circus
is Rained Out of
Two Shows Here

1t cost the Yankee Robinson circus
approximately $4,000 to spend an idle
day in Pine Bluff yesterday. The
rain, which began to fall early yes
terday morning, prevented any and
all activities of the show, excepting
one side show, which it is stated.
took in $3.50 during the afternoon.
Probably no larger crowd has ever
come to Pine Bluff for circus than
was here yesterday. Special coach
es were provided by the railroads to
take care of the people from the
country districts, while others came
by wagon, automobile, buggy and
some by foot. The parade, which
was scheduled for ~ o'clock noon
yesterday, was called off when the
rain began to fall heavily, but an
afternoon performance was assured.
At. 2 o'clock, however, the rain had
not abated, and the afternoon per-
Torrance was not presented. The
steady rain of the afternoon also
prevented the evening performance,
and the Yankee Robinson circus pre-
pared to bundle up and move out last
night for England.
Although a number of tickets
were sold yesterday afternoon, when
it became apparent that there would
be no performance, the ticket WIN
dow was kept open, and an announce
ment was made that money would
be refunded. Practically all Of the
tickets were turned in. During the
afternoon, the crowd, which came
for that performance, was not al
lowed to enter either the menagerie
or the main tent, because, circus Of
ficials said, the big tent had not been
firmly guyed. and the great pockets
of water, which formed, made it un-
safe for people to be in the tent.
The menaeerie was merely canopied
and afforded no protection, it was
stated, and for this reason, the peo-
pei were all kept on the outside.
County license was refunded as
was the $50 license paid to the city
for parade. The city license for
showing probably will refunded after
the next council meeting. as tech
nicality prevents the refund except
