The datale. tbe big flash, talent, beauty, figure, grace, art, music and spot light effects lire liH-orpor-.uoil and utilised In modem applause drawing manner. It Is grrat, It is wonderful. It ln strikingly Rliig- llngesque. To me It recalled my first hive, tho Old John Robinson "Ten Big." I eau see their "King Solomon and Queen of Hhclia." Nothing ln circus realms was ever so beautiful as II. Hut whan that old show liulshed with It Ihe tibeurs hail been applied so often with vigor mid lllier- ullty that all remaining «t Ibe wltuliip wore a few ballet girls. "The unkliidcat cut nf all," the hardest rap the Robinsons ever gave iho ais^rtacle was shaving Solomon's wblsaeru and culling his hair, and forcing ttlieba to buy her own make-up. The displays of Iho three rings, two slages, hl]>podrome track and midair acrcnu were l-unier- ous, well balanced, and harmonised good all tho way. The clowns were many, and their stunts laugh Iirodueers, aindlcublo to tlie "lilts of Hie Day" n polltlcK. Kocleta- and foreign courts. The lllpiiodroaie llaces were like all pmdeees- sors. I wish some circus owner would apply the Biblical standard —"the first aball lie last mid the last shall be first"—and bavc the ruces Initiatory, and liken the event unlo the old OuIIm-iim of Rome, the neat-egg, as It were, of tlie circus. Hear me, aomo oiieulng number It could be. People are still talking of Rlngllng Urea.' Military Band. None better. J. J. Richards, con- ductor, Is all the money—with "notes" thrown In. The menagerie, according to tbe ministers and women aud children, Is isir-excellent. And tho street parade la a patrenage maker. The train of eighty cars, the horses and wagoais, nnd canvas. All are down 10 allspice. I found the two gigantic features to Is) Mljarca, who Is justly crowned 'The Mexican Wire Wliard." and Lew Graham, who, at announcing acts slid feats and concert. Is beyond the .--hnilow of n doubt "Tbe Wltard of Voice and Language." He has a elite abow with the big thing that dwindle* bis past efforts Into Insignificance. All bats are off to this splendid premier. I close with short tribute to the most Important men with the trick, without whom owner, mana- ger, agent and performer would be lu a bard way—tlie boss cnuvanman, his assistants, ttm eanvasmen, and "raxorliaoks." I have always been for these folks. My heart, my prayers, my best wishes go out to them. I began my circus life with them, I have a uoy bow working with stakss and rope nnd sledge. 1 want to live to see them get their Just due. Bless all ln circus life!
