The best modern example Of the worth of that principle Is In Portland. It-Is the Norris & Rows circus, which was presented before enormous crowds yesterday .and last night at Multnomah field, and which will be seen again this afternoon and evening. A few years ago Norris at Rows were the humblest factors In the show busi ness. Rowe. In fact,-was -taking care of the dogs In a dog and pony exhibition.

While trying a lofty trapese act one little brunette fell to the net twice last evening, sending a chill down the backs nf thn Hrt.lenrn, but when h. finally made her goal the crowd cheered wildly. - One of the best acta is that of the ill tumblers the Bellfords who perform feats that- no other acrobata ever thought of. There 'are three -men and three boys, -and--the-latter-are Juggled In the air on tho feet of their elders like sd'tnany rubber spheres. The-bicy cle performance la likewise astounding. Three people ride the same wheel In all sorts of positioner defying at once the laws of anatomy and equilibrium. The slaok wire act is extraordinary, and the bear that balances articles while lying on Its back la a unique and enter talntng feature. ' There 1s plenty of work for ths Clowns' and a hundred other things designed fot the amusement of the youngsters. A hippodrome closes the entertainment. In the menagerie some of the animals pre sent queer and entertaining features for the Instruction and wonder of the little people. Lots of boys and girls, and some grown ups, had felonious thoughts aa -they hung -delighted shout a small family party, consisting of a proud pony mamma, about six hands high, and a rabbit-shaped colt measuring- almost two fingers.
