'• Notes from the John Robinson Shows. —We experienced a "blow down" at Eldo- rado, III., Aug. 5, at G V.U., after a great audience had left tbe afternoon exhibition. The visit of this cyclonic tornado was short, but It carried'away acres of tents, blowing them Into ribbons, and tbe guy lines snapped like.twine. Everything went Into the air; horse stables, side shows, annexes, restaur- ants, the two cook tents, the twelve centre pole menagerie, also tbe three hundred and twenty foot big top, and dressing rooms. Fortunately, no one was injured.. We lost tbe night show, but gave two exhibitions next day, at our following stand. Just as If nothing unusual had happened, as-we carry a car load of canvas. The Ah'bml Abnolds, Cbas. and Wcltha, write that they canceled with Colored Jack's Wild West and Joined Glasscock's Combined Circus and Menagerie, en route through New Mexico.
