A big feature ofthe show was that
of Madam Bedini and her trained
horses. Not only do they perform
numerous stunts In the rings and in
the front, but they waltz and dance
to ballroom music. The horse rid
den by Madam Bedini was from the
famous Morgan stock and was an
especially beautiful and we'll trained
animal.
The bareback riders came in for
their share Of tn eappluase while the
monkey and pony act which was de-
signed especially to delight the
youngsters. was enjoyed by the
grownups as we'll. The Hodgini
troupe Of riders and the Lowande
troupe of South American riders
gave stellar performances.
All circuses have clowns but there
are clowns and there are real clowns,
and in the latter class John Robin
sons funmakers must be placed.
Charlie Chaplin is their opener and
he is a good one. The Clown Band
makes an abundance Of discords but
nevertheless draws plenty of ap-
plause. One of the oldest living
clowns in America is with the shows
George Lemar who is 50 years Of
age. but who is as funny and as
full of pep" as any of the younger
ones.
The work of the Zouave troupe
composed of men returned from
France was worthy of special men
ton. and the races concluding the
performance were well contested
and thrilling.
Following the big show wild
west performance was staged and
Nebraska Bill and his group of
rough riders did some very clever
work.

AUGUSTA STATE HOSPITAL
ARRANGES TO EXCHANGE
NURSES WITH ME. GENERAL

By utilization with the Maine Gen.
erai hospital of Portland. the Angus
Ia State hospital training school has
worked out. through its superinten-
dents and trustees, most compre-
hensive and far-reaching program
for training nurses for registered
graduate work.
By "a reciprocal arrangement d
corps Of nurses will leave the State
hospital every six months for Port
land and their places will be taken
by like number of students from
the Maine General hospital who will
come to Augusta for special course
in psychopathic nursing lasting three
months. On the completion of the
three-months course another group
Of Portland nurses will come to this
city and exchange places with the
earlier group toequaliZe the longer
trem required at Portland.
Supt. Forrest c. Tyson who it is
understood was instrumental in de-
veloping this opportunity. announces
the first exchange of nurses this
week, the Misses Hamilton, Chad
wick and Glidden' of the Augusta
State hospital going to Portland. and
the Misses Waltz, Harmon and Gam
age coming here.
The advantages Of this scheme will
open up opportunities for State hos
pital attendants to fit themselves for
graduate nurse work with the same
standing as nurses from the Port
land General hospital and with less
sacrifice in earning.
The enthusiasm with which this
plan has been accepted is proof
enough that it will be popular and
beneficial to nurses and institutions
alike.
