youngsters followed the band TO the
circus field where the press repre-

Collin, tookk them in hand and
proved himself a royal and patient
cicerone. The executive staff of the
shows made every effort 70 see they
missed nothing in the line Of the eX-

providing.
The circus side shows first claimed
their attention where under mann
moth spreads Of canvas they saw
freaks and curios that the emissaries
of the Wolfe shows have collected
from all parts Of the world. Then
came the hippodrome with its

a bit slow in this department but
with their arrival they moved at a
dizzy pace. Scores of the boys scram-

hearts content The rides were
the big hit OF the evening, and on
lockers agreed that many mothers
would be busy mending trousers to-
day as the result of the scramble.

glances cast at the midway showed
