The Barmrm & Barley Circus goes merrily on Its way at Madison Square Garden, where, Inci- dentally, It Is breaking all records for tented ■hows in that big resort. Never since the first time a circus played in the Garden has the attendance been so universally big, for at every performance since the opening mati- nee, - on April 6, when a big, but not a crowded auditorium was present, it has been practically a sell oat. This circus, this year, is good from start to finish. While there Is no "thriller" or no one act that stands out beyond its fellows, there is scarce- ly an act on the entire bill that cannot be counted a feature. The clown stunts are particularly good this year, and the show Impresses the spectator In every way as a real up-to-date circus. ■ INGRAM TENT SHOW.
