Like ovorythlng clso, tho circus has grown until instead of tho good old fashioned ring, now thoro aro three rings with throo platforms and a five aero Hold full of peoplo, all doing different stunls nt onco. Circuses aro of course, much tho same, but it Is cortalnly not saying too much to assert that none of them equal Rlngllngs, which hns tho latest, tho best nnd tho most of It. It was n genuine pleasure from tho beglnlng of tho parade) to tho ond of tho chariot races, a clean wholesomo ontertnlnmont.

Miss Lydla Atkins, aged 15, tho daughter of J. T. Atkins, a well- known Leicester chimney builder and steeple-Jack, and her brother, aged 10 and C, respectively, aro literally following in their fathor's footsteps. Mr. Atkins, -who belongs to a family which for 200 years has had a penchant for scaling church steeples and chimney stacks, saw a paragraph in a newspaper recording how tho daughter of a vicar was hauled up tho steeple of her father's church In a chair. Mr. Atkins was convinced that his own dnughter could 'do better than that, and pro ceeded to lnltiato Iter into tho mys teries of his hazardous calling. The result is that tho girl, aftor making several successful climbs, last week accomplished the exceed ingly smart performance of ascend ing at Leicester Corporation's Water works, nt Swlthland, a chimney 144 feet high In flvo minutes, and made tho descent in ovou less 'tlmo. Miss Atkins now challenges ovory girl of less than 18 years of ago to n steeple or chimney climbing competition. Her llttlo brothers aro also being trained by tholr father as steeple Jacks, and hnvo already climbed sevoral chimneys over a hundred feet high.
