Thrilling Scenes i'm Society.
Circus Enacted Saturday.

N1rCuS Enacted SdtufudS.
The society circus, to bA given twice
at Fort Myer Saturday, the first per
formance to start at o'clock and the
second at SIS o'clock, fairly bristles
with interesting features and thrills
enough to last a lifetime. The pro-
ceeds from the two performances will
go to the mems athletic fund.
LAS full of thrills as an old-fash'
toned yellow back dime novel" is what
Capt. John Nash says about it, and
hundreds of the more important mem
bers Of society elect to attend the show
and get the full benefit of the fun.
The costume ride by so society girls
of the Capital furnishes o colorful 4ea-
ture, their daring prowess having
added interest from their natty sport
logs. There will also be a hunting
scene, with the dogs in full chase, Ven-
turesome jumping and all the thrills
attendant upon a hot trail. To give
this act just the proper atmosphere
there will be two tally-ho coaches
drawn by four or six horses, a bugler
and all the other trimmings and each
coach filled and topped off with
society girls.
Especially appealing to the younger
element which will witness the after
noon performance will be a reproduc-
ton of an old-time stage coach thriller,
attacked by Indians and rescued by
United States troopers. About TINS
time there will also be introduced some
especially fine rough riding and trick
riding by drilled cavalrymen and a
drill by the 10Th Field Artillery.
One of tho most fun provoking stunts
will be the equestrienne ballet-n1en
dressed up like real old-time circus
riders of the feminine persuasion, this
trick being sometimes called the mon
key drill.
