The Southern Carnival Company,
which furnishes all of the attractions
and acts, ha; aUays particularly called
attention to the high moral Btatus of all
of the Bhows and it certainly demon
strated last evonlng that it keeps its
word as there is not one single act pre
sented but what any lady can witness
and enjoy. No tough or BUgestive
turns are presented and everyonj who
oa the various attractions expressed
themselves well pleased with them.
Naturally some of the shows are better
than otbeiB, while still others are of the
freak order,yet all ol them were enjoyed
by the Crowd .
The stadium la undoubtedly the larg
est, gnd best show of the entire lot and
probably never in the history of vaud
eville have so many high-priced acta
been DreBented for bo little money.
There are several turns that are entirely
new and nothing ol the kind bae ever
been seen in Stockton. The cycle whirl
alone is worth the price of admission,
