D. Stradford, chair¬ man of the circus committee of the Shrine Temple, under whose auspices Mr. Royal will exhibit here this win¬ ter. The arrangements are well under way and Mr. Stradford and his com¬ mittees are hard at work.

The Seigrist family of aerialists, introducing Charley Seigrist, whose peer never stepped into a saw¬ dust arena, will divide honors with the Tybell-Julian sisters, known from one end of the world to the other. Among the bareback riders Mr. Royal has en¬ gaged for the winter are the famous Rooneys, the Duttons, Charlie Rooney and Ab Johnson.

The Bartik troupe of Russian dancers, twelve in number, will be with the show, and the clown contingent, twenty in all, will be headed by Dick Ford, Phil Dar¬ ling, George Clayton, Billie Jameson and George Worth.
