George, Secretary. a it tOBINSON MADE GOOD ALL PROMISES BOW WAS DP TO ITS BILLS AID DISCOUNTED THEM BY FAB The Paducah, Ky., News-Demorat of September, 12, 1909, says: Thousands of people crowded the reat tent of John Robinson's circus aturday, both afternoon and night crformance being given to probaly the largest crowds which have itnessed a circus performance in lis city. And none went awav disppointed. Startling claims and i unused were maue Dytne managffel lent in its posters and advertising, et there was not one which was not llfilled to the letter. The show was a marvel. The usal circus elevation had been imroved on, and John Robinson's cirjs went out of the general rut ar.d 1 lowed some things which were ifferent. The aggregation has iree rings and in every one of the ree there is something going on ! 'cry minute from the time the par :ipants file around the rings at the 1 art of the performance until after 1 e concerr, with which the circus 1 osed. ' Feats which would be thought be- ' >nd the realm of human cndeavoi ' ere pulled off one right after the 1 her and the immense crowds were ( ;pt guessing what was next alter- ( itely with gasps over what was ( )ing on then. Animals actually 1 iman in their intelligence acted eir parts, and seals, ordinarily stu- ' d animals, played hand ball with ch other, riding on ponies around s c ring the while. Horses cake- 1 ilked to the music of the excellent * nd, bowed to the audiences, or s swered the commands of their f liners and riders wi h an intellince lacking in a gco 1 many indi- s duals. Elephants, gie..i ch.rx.sy ^ asts. did jigs and two steps on t p of small banels, cr walked on c eir hind legK as ti.eir trainers c oose. The antics of clowns caus- s peal after peal o laughter to rst from men, women aid chile: while daredevil ba lidtrs, spangled in tights, did impossil.lt ngs on the backs or their flying reds. The strongest man in the world ted fourtced men on a platform a his back, tossed a 750 pound r imbell about as he pleased, or jug- s ;s it with four men hanging on to e ends. Taken all in all, it was a a eat sight for both the big people c 10 came with an excuse, to the f Lie people who came as excuses, a d not a still minute in the kaledio- t opic pictures permitted to look ide. The features of the dav were, of lurse, the daredevil dive of a highpaid artist from the top of the nt to the ground, coming down ^ rad first and striking an inclined ( ane which righted him, and the ; rong man who permitted a heavy luring car to run o\er him lor the 1 mefit of the crowd. The slack ire walker who walked up toward le top of the tent on his unsteady >pe and slid down on his toe and eel was likewise no slouch as a ir iller. After the performance the crowd ized at the wild and rare animals i cages outside. The John Robson circus deserves every modicum [ success, which it is attaining. [R. FISHB1IRNE A lib THE ' BRUSH."

THE AD- * VANTAGE SO EAR WITH j, THE BROOKLYN MAN U g il Lexington, Oct. 20.?Lexington ^ people are greatly interested in the jj discussion now going on between ^ the two Arctic explorers, Dr. Cook ^ and Commander Peary. Almost to a t( man the people are giving Dr. Cook the honors. A day or two ago Clerk of the Court Prank W.
