Last Friday and Saturday, the

As Estacada now has three
good courts, belonging to the Es

of good tennis players, arrange

If there are other tennis organ

not as well acquainted with the
wonders of the circus, as were
their parents, for t o d a y the
youngsters get their thrills from
the movies, the vaudeville shows
and the like; yet nothing will
compare with the typical circus,
with its menagerie, its big rings,
its clowns, its side-shows and
that smell of saw-dust and pink
lemonade, the memory of which
stays with us long after the time
when our own children are stand
ing agape before the circus post
