When it is known that Imre Kiralfy has trained the ballet it will be known that it is better done than any other manager In this country could have done it.

There are costumes that have, the look of the 15th century about them and which, hieh authorities have said, are dupli cates ot" those worn when Columbus was pleading before lerdinund and Isabella. The Barnum & Bailey Show has come to be one of America's perman ent institutions, and merits more than the smiling reference called out by the ordinary circus. It is worthy of serious thought not only for itself, but more when one considers what exceptional ability a man must possess who con trols the entire army of men and wo men who give the exhibition.
