A very large audi<*n<*r witnessed the after­ noon performance and publie opinion places the Wallace Show* aliovr par with anv other show that ever exhibited in Ashland.

But the part of the show that completely “carried lhe |«oph* away” was the hipjaidrome raring. No sham indeed, but genuine trials of 8|>ced, ami this part of the entertainment was well worth the price of admission.

An amusing little incident connected with circus-going was brought to our notice last Saturday. A man, or |»erhaps “fellow ’ would letter express it. went into one of our leading grocery stores circus morning ami obtained a sack of flour “on time.” He then sold the Hour for money to go to the circus. Just how the |M-rson w m> ¡»ought the Hour got into the show, we were unable to learn.
