Burial was at. the Timmins cemetery The 26 clowns amused not only the youngsters but the oldest person at the show. The peculiar kind of humour, seen only when the czrcus oornes to town. made as big a hit as usual. Music was provided under the direc- tion of Chas. Redrick. Opening selec- tions before the circus proper included everything from Opera to the latest popular music. A coloured band pro- vided dance music for the “Fiesta of the Rio Grande." the opening number in which some remarkable dancing was to be seen. The Canestrellls. with their unsup- ported ladder act. showed how highly man's sense of balance can be devel- oped. They climbed the jiggling lad- |ders, did juggling acts on them and leven their pet fox terriers showed themselves capable of climbing the magically poised ladders to join their masters and mistresses in the finale. Lots of Juniorsâ€"sand Music Of juggling there was almost a su- perfluity. Flying clubs, plates, fire- brands. huge four-beamed affairs. and series of sticks surmounted by a ball. were tossed about with equal skill: The Bernetti troupe of bareback riders did tricks on horseback a cow- boy wouldn’t dare. They leaped on and! off horses in motion. jumped from one 1 animal to another. turned flips on the: big white horses' backs, and gave some ' Jine displays of trick riding. I ‘ Living Gilded “Statues" . The living statues. particularly the gilded men and women in the centre ring, remained remarkably still forl minutes on end. Beautifully formed and l gracefully posed. the spotlight shone' on them as if they were true examples of ancient Greek statuary. l The Elephants Again ' The elephants did all sorts of things. i One carried his trainer.

Theyi rolled over in unison. stood up on their ; front legs and on their hind legs. and: '. in the end. bowed gracefully, believe it i {0, or not, to the audience.

One animal insisited on “How Dry I Am" by playing the music on a wind instrument. . The jumping greyhounds. going though their paces with a willingness wâ€":re at treat to watch. l The wild animal acts in the heavy steel cage in the centre ring were well done. Capt. Terrell Jacobs and his performing African lions made a real hit, but Miss Mabel Stark's control of a number of Royal Bengal tigers proved even more popular. Dancing Horses The Liberty horses. thirty in num- ber. who did amazing drills at their trainers’ command. who danced to mu- sic and who seemed to have an almost human intelligence came first in the trained animal acts. Miss Bertha Matlock's slide on a taughtened rope from the dome of the big tent to the ground was another feature that brought much applause. \ Just One Shadow The only shadow of the evening on an otherwise brilliant show came at the beginning of the aerial butterfly ballet, when Vivian Rosard. in the first ring, fell to the ground from a height of about forty feet. It was one of those acts where the performers are drawn to the top of the tent by clamping the teeth on a mouthpiece. Miss Rosard swung just once, the mouthpiece. a new one, slipped, and she fell in a crumpled heap just inside the ring. Her foot struck the heavy wooden edge of the ring. Not more than a third of the 6,000 people in the tent saw her fall.i Cloud swings and aerial ladders in an act that had 15 young ladies. was an- other of the displays that was "up in the air." 80 many and varied were the parts of this act that it was literally unpossible tn see everything that was going on. Others chose the Waltiers-Cornado troupe's high bar display. with the an- tics of the clowns in the big safety net. They swung from bar to bar, with giant swings and flips, with a smooth- ness and rhythm that brought rou‘nd after round of applause. The Heel Catch Act 1 Then there were the trapeze feats of Miss Esther Escalante. who per- formed the most treacherous of tricks with apparent equanimity. A swing, a aomersault in the air to catch herself by the heels on the trapeze. was the feature of the act.

Sports for the August jamboree will be practiced. Last Friday some points in the art of jiu-jutsu were shown the boys by Scouter Fisher, much to the interest of the troop. Scouter Row-e is at present attendLng the Cub Leaders' training course at Ebsr Park and will be back in Tim- mins 21 week from to-day. During the spring it was announced that the last part of the Scouts’ train- ing classes would be held out-ofâ€"doors sometime during the summer. Since it is impossible for all the leaders to get away to a week-end camp at the same time, it has been decided to hold this part of the Scouters' classes in Hollinâ€" ger hall on Thursday, July 25th. A large number of the Scouters have now had some camp experience, so that they will be able to introduce problems they have already met for discussion. The joint Timmins Scout Groups‘ camp is still under consideration, though no official announcement will likely be made before the end of the month. It is hoped that every Scout who possibly can will take advantage of the opportunity to spend two weeks in camp. The estimated operating profit was Activities at the Friday night meet- ings of the troop are going along on schedule and many of the boys are passing tests every meeting night. Tenderfoot work has been done by most of the boys and new members are being added all the time. Games that only Scouts know keep the boys' in- terest in their troop at a high pitch. Mosquitoes annoyed the boys some- what more on Monday night than me- viously but various methods of protec- tion were worked out and will stand them in good stead the next time. Following inspection’ the next morning and sports and Scout activities in the afternoon. the troop took the truck back to town. In the morning after breakfast. in- spection oi the tents found the Owl Patrol with the neatest looking array. Only one small accident marred the morning‘s sport, and the Scout whose foot was cut was given first aid by his comrades and sent back to town with the truck. and several of the boys who had to return. Scout‘s pace tests re- sulted in most of the Scouts receiving credit for that accomplishment, and one of the boys passed his compass test. Exploring the surrounding country in the afternoon, the boys followed trials? to Trout Creek and Trout Lake. | reliminary Op e r a t i n g Statement for Hollinger Consolidated for First Six Months of 1935.

As a result of the en- quiries made by Deputy Chief Salley and Constable- Olson. and tests made under their direction, a charge was laid against Kosiscok for having defective brakes. There sesmed to be little break- ing power left in his car. A big crowd gathered at the corner of Sixth avenue and Pine street on Sunday evening when two cars crashed there. Miss May Cook, who was a pas- senger in one of the cars, was injured and had to have medical attention. She had a small but deep cut in the forehead and also suffered from shock.
