Every act was ^bnrarljr carried out and was roundly applauded. There was not a single disappointing num ber on the bill. The ring work, tumblers and aorobats, clowns and animal acts were of an exceedingly high order. The aerial trapere ar tists were generally proclaimed to be the best part of the performance.

The chief ac tors were the fellows who sold cush ions through the audience. ' Their method of operation netted them considerable revenue and also fur ? nlshed unlimited amusement for the audience. One of these fellows would watch a gentlemen come In with his girl, snd would immediately bustle a round and, in a very courteous man ner, put the cushions behind the couple's back? as they sat down. The audience, which, after the first one or two Incidents, bad seen th' ?Joke In the affslr, wonld watch closely and Invariably, there would spread ah expression of pleased surprise over the gentleman's fsce due to the uwher's courtesy. After the couple had become comfortably settled, the usher would lean over and whisper In the gentleman's/ear. The pleased expression wonld grad ually change to a pesvlsh frown, as the gentleman reached down la his poclets to fork ooi the price of the cushions. His act would be greeted with roars of laughter on the part of all those who had Witnessed the performance.
