The grefct Robinson Show Is In
Washington today. They arrived
early yestorday morning from New
Born, where they exhibited Saturday
afternoon and night and gave a
very creditable performance. Mr.
George Atkinson, the press representative,
has been In the show business
for a number of years and i
fcjawvM" .b?Ins? tfown. etart t?j
finish as wett as his assistant, Mr.
Harry Dangerfleld.
Doth of these gentlomen ha\o
made many friends while in the city.
The parade this morning was a
most creditable one.
First of all In yesterday's line
of march came the rumbling wagons
bearing the commissary equipment ?
the gigantic ranges heated entirely
by steam, the dining tents with their
long tables of spotlessly white linen
and everything necessary to furnish
breakfast for Jhe immense circus
family of 500 people, who throe
times each day gather about the
boards. With wonderful rapidity,
Steward Charlie Davis had his department
at work, and as fast as the
worklngmen arrived they were furn
Ished with a hot breakfast and
steaming coffee. After the first section
hearing the commissary equipment,
camo the circus special, containing
the wonderful Robinson wild
animais and baggage equipment.
Nothing pleased the great crowd
which crowded the circus gf'ounds
more than the "big top." The boss
canvas man, Al Young, and his men
put it into the air yesterday with as
much easo as the average. camper
pitches his sleeping tent. 80 rapidly
was the work done that it was in
the air before the last of the circus
specials had arrived.
With breakfast over active preparations
were begun for the parade.
It left the show grounds shortly after
10 o'clock. It was a maifel of circus
beauty. There was a- long line
or the fantastic finery, half a dozen
bands, ponderous elephants, camels,
these ships of the desert which go
eight days without water, and horses,
well, a small boy said thete must
have been a* million of them.
Following the parade the show
grounds appeared to he the objective
point. Everything was h*. readiness
to receive the crowds and they descended
from everywhere. The doors
to^he big show were opened promptly
at 1 o'clock. One hour was al
' lotted to the spectators for viewing
I the wonderful Robinson collection ol
wild animals, said to be the rarest
and costliest in the world. Preceding
the big show by thirty ra'nutas
a concert was given by Prof
Dick Matters' royal military band.
Thero are m*njr acts in the morl
torous program which deserve spe
oial mention, such as De Marcus
trained monkeys and baboons; the;
ride ponies and bicycles. Rob
lnson elephants play ten pins an;
barber shop; one big beaat lather
and shavee another. The Nine NH
eon family are marvelous acrobats

the barn earlier in the afternoon and
later he found some work which
needed his. employer's attention and 1
went to the cow-shed to call him.
What he saw there frightened the i
negro almost out of his wits. I.y- i
lng face downward on the floor was i
Mr. Staub and there was a paging |
wound In his calp. Daw did not take j
, time to investigate but at odco came ]
