.day, and the happy coincidence that, a
big circus is showing here today gave
the morning parade the true carnival
.. flavor. Nine elephants, loaned by the
circus, were ridden by as many promi
nent Elks, and they were followed by
Blka astride camels, and cages filled
with howling, growling tllllknms. The
.circus procession proper brought up the
.rear.
Aeroplane and hydroplane flights will

known business man, is somewhere at
