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.
