THOU,
Yankee Robinson! 3hbws Give Two
Performances on Saturday.
With two hundred and sixty people
employed to 'serve but one end—that
of making the Yankee Kobinson show
interesting and entertaining, a spe
cial train of fifteen cars, containing
the circus,..pulled into the Illinois
Central, passenger depot Saturday
morning, arriving from Galena, Illi
nois. A largo tent, menagerie can
vas, and' near those the dressing
™4ms, the livery and blacksmith
shop, and one of the most important,
the dining hall and cook tent, were
in place and the gaudily painted can
vas displayed in front of the side
show and began to attract the first
few stragglers and then the two thou
sand people which came from the
country' and nearby towns and also
from our own village. Everyone seem
ed to want to go and go they did,
buying tickets at a heavy wagon and
becoming confused and embarrasses
as they passed the old ticket taker
at the central gate who has been In
the business for forty years.
The circus pitched its' tents In the
park on West Main street. The
grounds were the scenes of many in
teresting sights and "human nature"
stories. /Through \he courtesy of F.
M. Shortrldge, a representative ol
the Shows, and a young man of ex
perience In circus and the trlcal busi
ness, a number of visitors were told
some -of the inside workings of a
large traveling circus. One of the
women bare back riders, is past the
half century mark, hafing lived her
life underneath the big white tents
since a young girl. Many of the art-,
ists work upon the vaudeville stagS
in the winter, booking with the Ma
Jcstic circuit from October untii
spring.
The clowns were a ridicuously fun
ny lot of performers. Their entertain
ment was highly amusing and thrill
ing, as well. The Japanese tumblers
and jugglers received the hearty ap
plause of nearly three thousand peo
ple as they performed hair raising
stunts. One little Japanese fellow
manages more than thirty of his fel
lows, and sells them to different cir
cuses in the United States. The
girl twins, who marvellously twine
themselves through trapeses and
ropes, were recognized by many in
the audience as having appeared in
the city before with a previous show.
And those daring aero twirlers, who
hurtle through the air from dangling
rapes, haying as their support only a
mouth piece which they cling to with
firm and solid molars and front teeth
won deserved appreciation for their
work.'
The entire show was satisfactory
and void of the characteristic fraudu
lent features which too often are ac
cessories to- the average circus. The
evening performance was largely at
tended, and at 10:30 o'clock, the spe
cial train was loaded and on its way
to Storm Lake, where these perform
ers continued to entertain folk on
Monday.
Vic Hugo and William Collier,' the
atrical and vaudeville managers ol
Cedar Rapids and Waterloo shaw
houses, attended the afternoon show,
arriving in the morning in a touring
car from the Parlor City.
LIBRARY NOTES.
It may not foe generally understood
that the advantages of using the
Carnegie public library are the
same to all pupils of our schools. It
Is estimated that one-third of the
attendance at the High school
comes from the rural communities,
and these pupils are entitled to a
drawer's card and all privileges of
the reading room and referehce de
partment, while the latter. is
free to ev/.'yone. "Tag (lay" is to be
September 2. Teh money relaized
from such a benefit will be used In
re-bindlng worn out books at the li
brary.
