Everything was here that was advertised from the daring loop the loop act to the smallest stunt. "Solomon ard the Queen of Sheba." although the third time it has been given here, again pleased, the dancing of t'e ballet girls calling for special commendation.

The trained seals called forth signs of surprise and approval. There were many clever acts in the three rings, the one which seemed to make the greatest hit being that of the man and two young women on the wire. Their act can be classed under the head of wonderfu'. Everything in the show was up to the highest standard. Mephisto, whose dare devil act of looping the loop in an automobile, takes so little time that it is over almost before it begins, evidently does not value life very highly.

His act is a nerve racking exhibition of fearlessness. The famous Robinson $40,000 herd of performing elephants with the circus are the best ever seen. Mr. Robinson has during his long experience gathered together a wonderful menagerie, the greatest in existence. It is said to be worth close to $1,000,000.
