Howe’s great and terrible Lons
don Shows which exhibited in this

in Dawson last week and we no

being killed. While in this city
it is remembered that a child fell
during the evening performance
and one of the men performers
fell during the night performance.

should suggest to the management
a suspension until the actors shall
have gone through their several
stunts for practice.
