peat the entire performance on July

air which were given the first time
will be repeated and some additional
features will be added.
The sam¢ band will be in attendence
‘d they can play. The dance floor
will he improved and a larger crowd
than before is expected to participate.
The society lady who flew in Sat
«day’s circus declines to take part
again but her mother says the family

Syotter than the original performance.
- will be thrilling, and it will be fun

‘s time, that is at 12:30 p. m. te
lcw for the features which will be
‘dded on the revised program.
The only feature advertised on Sat

wve arrived here by July 17, and this
went will be given as advertised.
if you want to know whether o 1
not the circus of Saturday was <ood,
ask any one who was there, or read
vhat the newspapers said. Then
think of all that list of thrilis and
u, add at least one fourth more to
remember the price is still the
same, 50 cents to everything, and 23
cents for automobiles and yiu will
realize that you positively cannot af
