were treated to one continuous laugh
after another. Nearly everything was
staged in a humorous vein, from the
sinking of the Lusitania to the meet-

There were some real clever stunts
performed among the burlesques, of
speciai mention being the work of the
cowboys of the Wild Weet depart-
ment of the circus, and the perform-
ance of the University Gym team.
Too much praise can. not be be-

Many difficult, teats of strength and
activity were pevtormed by members
of the gym team, the one which won
the meet applause being the "Giant
Swing," aa done by several members
on the team.
There was not a number which was
not greeted with applause from the
crowd of spectators. After the en-
trance of the King and Queen of the
circus, the performance opened in full
blast.
