Challenges are In order from any circus ball team tlat thinks tbey have anything on the Sparks bunch of ball tossers. Jack Phil- lips and Walter Gulce have selected a strong team and are ready to meet all comers. The team has been equipped with new uniforms, and la lust wearing Itself out waiting for some other club to Knock the chip off their shoulders. Clifton Sparks, a famous south- paw, is on tbe tiring line, and "Cap" Wesley behind tbe bat The ox-leaguer, Jack Poll- Ups, Is on first; "Slim" Keller on second, and the Texas Tfemale, Gny Cohen, on third. Leslie Bartlett looks after the space betweea second and third, and Lisle Connors. Lefflng- well and Walter Gulce In the outfield, Any team looking for trouble wire Jack PbtUIpe as per route. The put week has been a busy one for everyone, sight seeing, visiting snd enter- taining visitors. Last Sunday there was a grand exodus of performers and •musicians Columbusward. and Hut city was looked over by most every one. Creators and bis band, at the park, canned tbe band ooys to dig down In their grouch bags and cough up half a slmolcon to hear him. while the rest of the bunch took In the theatres and picture shows. Among those who took In the sights were Myron and Norman. Orton, O'Neill and Janette, Kritt Brunner. Capt. Tlebor, John Poc, Albert Keller, Mark Sanford. John fiparka Jr., A. W. Day, James Daniel John- son, James Jacobs and others who took an- other car than the writer. The clowning with the show this season Is tbe best In years, and Walter Young Is Introducing now stunts every once In s while. lie has Just added a three round boxing contest that Is a scream. He uses one 01 his bunch and Myron Norton at tbe finish, as the rube cop. His duck shooting, put on with Buster Marsh, is a big laugh getter, as is the "Modern William Tell," stunt Paul Young, with his trained goose drawing him around the track, and "Doc" Grants sky- rocket never fall to got big laughs. By tbe way. Doc and Harry Meeks axe a great pair on the track before the show, and the latter's female Impersonation fools even the wisest Tbe entire bunch is la and out of the rings throughout the entire show. The cbow has made its first big Sunday run, 106 miles, and Is uvw up In the tall grass and out of tbe mountains. The weatber Is Ideal and business all that cotr.d be desired. J. H. Esrxman visited the show at Bellalre, O., end stayed through tbe concert John L. Fusner, an old Walter L. Mala man, and, a well-known ex-trouper also, dropped la to shake hands with his friends. He came la time to see a packed tent, and to assist in ecatlDg people. , John Welsh, cormettlst of the big band, played Ms home town last Monday, an! his host of friends nearly broke their necks "rub- bering" at him <-n the big bond wagon. We got a glimpse of the L. H. Ran ft wagon show at Paulding, O., last Thursday, as It drove through that town early in the nornlng. They bad a neat looking outfit, Rood horses and wagons; and a miniature cal- ope. Tbey opened recently at Niles, Mich., end report good business In tbe Bmall towns. The wagons were all newly painted and deco- rated, "Slim" Keller Is happy. The show has played his borne town and It didn't turn out a flivver. He was kept busy all day shaking bands, and Mark Sanford sad "Kst'' had to look after bis "bynle" joint most of tbe time. Thompson & Vandevecr's representative, Edward Ware, dropped in on the show the other day und was busy with the "GoTernor." •McGowan, tho noted Urbana photographer, who has aemost Interesting collection of old circus photographs, was on the lot early, and exhibited a "picture of Charles Sparks taken years ago when he was a boy, and appearing with the Australian Specialty Company.

Notes from the La Roy Stock Co., Wm. A. Stanton, manager.—Wc opened our Sum- mer season under canvas May 4. at North Baltimore. O., the birthplace of Mr. La Roy, and In spite of rain we packed them in, it being our third visit there.. Business con- tinues good. We carry eleven people (all real troupers), also carry our own bond and orchestra. We are not the biggest company, but one of the best traveling through these parts. We have all new plays, new scenery, works black face, bat tbe Inconsistency of being and carry our own electric light plant, which is treasurer of tbe Cbln-l'leec Sccltty and worklnj right up to the minute. Wm. A. Stanton and black face In concert has luaueuced blm to change - hie mekeup. Moore and Brown, lilly kid and girl, woiklng straight, close tbe concert with a strong act. Tbey are kuown here very well, having been here a few seasons ago. It la a very strong concert bill, cad one that has never failed to please. And for tbe datfy department, I have so mcch this week that I hardly believe the editor will allow me the space rcunlred to u> everything Jus- tice. We started oft at Adrian, Mich., Tuesday. Grimier, be It known. Is a most successful vender of conccT'. tlckete. He tbnute bis- wares and the price thereof at tbe lop of Lis lusty lungs, and so effectually that no one within earshot need be managers.—We opened'our Summer season, In doubt At Adrlan.be waa yelling that be had unae / canTa s, May 0, after a four weeks' va- 9 cation.

He U uow definitely established as "with na." not a cloud la the aky. nor a drop of rain all last week, and days of that brand make busi- ness good everywhere. _. The speed with which the oatflt gets on the lot In the morning and off at bight ban been marvelous all season. It Is pretty generally un- derstood that if you are tot at the care by eleven- lilrty you ettnd, a pretty good chance of paying your fare to tbe next town. Of course both can- vasses art very well handled and have received motion here before, but Louie Selhohl, tbe hose hostler plays no small part In the game. Tbey don't load any wagons on tbe lot too fast for Louie to nave teams for them and Fat Cross will get them on the train u faat as tbey get to tbo rune. Taken altogether It Is s pretty faet trick. I hare also been negligent In nxnltonlng almost every department of tbe show this season, except the concert, and that feature la of suOclent merit to have been written up long ago. An oterslght which you will pardon 1 am sure. Marie DeVeie opens and be euro not to underestimate her be- esuse abe "opens tbe bill." Marie swallows swords, long ones, abort ones, two or three at a time and closes by putting three blades down tbe inside of her throat, always gcod for a hand.

Grlmley Marie Hayes, playing leads with tbe com- pany, are certainly making lots of friends In each town they play. We are putting on four royalty bills. Our oatflt Is classed by all who see it to he a regular cosy little opera house. The ghost walks each and every week. We look forward to a pleasant sensor;. We carry two automobiles, and. believe us, we enjoy them. The Clipi'eb also goes with them, as It and Beauty, our little dog, are our two mascots.

And tbe other nlgbt there was trouble at the cars. I did not bear all the details, but It ap- pears that certain people In a certain car needed the upper berth as a wardrobe for clothes, while the lower waa used for sleeping purjiosea. Some- body was placed la this particular upper berth; someone wbose presence was not only resented in the esr, hot who, probably, under the existing circumstances, did not want to be there. Any- way, there was a sear riot, a near strike several cichanges of hot sud hasty words, at which time 1 vamped for more quiet surroundings. As all of the conflicting parties "were on the lot at tbe regular time tbe following morning, suppose that some sort of a trace waa declared. And usaybe we don't have some fan on the front door. The way folks evade the ruling that everyone pays but children In arms Is amusing. to eay tbe least. Two girls came In the other night each probably ten years of age. Astounding as It may appear, one was carrying the other to avoid buying two tickets. As tbey pasred Mont&gue. be turned and said, "Utile girl, why don't you put that girl down and let her carry jrau a while?" Will some good detective please write to onr chandelier department? We have been loalng torches quite frequently thle season, and every plan to stop this petty thievery has been tried amd found a failure. The boas chandelier man waa discovered one night last week hiding In a derk etelrway with hat eyes glned on a torch on the corner, waiting for some one to Join It out. Bis vigil was In vain, for when the last wagon came down from the lot the torch was still there. And while be wss watching that one, some town villain stole one from another corner!
