NOBLE RELICS OF TIE PAST

In Enefr 8uir.

The .triumphaI arch Of p.tus in
Rome was built Ia 70 A. D.. to com
memorate The defeat of the Jews, ana
was dedicated to the Emperor Titus
after his DEATH 1t is adorned with fine
sculptures in relief. On the ,frieze out
side Is a sacrificial procession and on
the inner side Titus is seen crowned
by Victory in Quadriga driven by
Roma. On another part of the arch is
a triumpha, procession of Jews, the
Table Of Shew Bread and the seven
branched candlestick. In the center
of the vaulting the consecrated emper-
or is seen being carried to heaven by
an eagle.
In 1882 the arch was a set of ruins,
and some of the medieval additions
were removed and it was partly recon-
structed. The colosseum, with seats
for $4,000 spectators, originally called
the Flavian amphitheater, was COM
pleted by Titus in the year SO A. D.,
and derives its later name, probably,
from colossal statue of Nero. The
colosseum is now all in ruins.

ible bag of tricks, r. II. Burnside
brought many novelties, together
with a number Of old favorites, and
Raymond Hubbell was quite as free
with his own pleasing music as he
was with that of other composers.
There was more than enough OF
everything to go round.
The huge show was particularly
rich in clowns. For once, Marceilne

newcomer, Ferry Convey. with a col
lection Of European tricks at his
finger tips, made a great deal of nun
and music. Another stranger OF the
team" OF Kara and Sex was less sue
cessful in his monotonous efforts TO
take the water cure, but the woman
did clever work as an acrobat.
"Poodles" Hanneford again performed
funny stunts on and off horses, while
his associates kept up the dignity
OF this aristocratic family of eques-
TRANS. Music that suggested a Greek
tragedy brought on that thoroughly
disreputable vagrant good old Joe
jackson. He is without doubt the
funniest, man that ever had trouble
with n bicycle. His silent. reproofs
OF the hilarious audience and his
sublime picture of pride riding before
a fall caused the house to rock with

tesquely with falsefaces as they
stalked about on stills. They were
given a most friendly greeting In a

welcome as Christmas to the Riddles.
