·SOME OF THE PRATURES TO BE AKEN The Manila Times says:-While shows have come, and -shows-bare gone, the grand hippodrome in Carnival City will eclipse them all. To the accompaniment of fanfares by the famous constabulary band' the performance will open preceded by a grand entry of all performers. Harlequins, and others will present a kaleidoscopic spectacle at liby pass in review - before demonstrating their wanderful istents: Memories of childhood days will be brought back to the visitors as they watch this dazzling procession. Pictures of days gone by, of days when they watched the "Greatest Show on Earth come to town, will pass into oblivion to make place for this picturesque and unique spectacio.

Darbing cavalry, men, troopers of the plains, will perform daring feals, and the old southern sport,-iking with ladices--will be revived Infantry and cavalry, real, live soldiers, will march by in martial fashion such as may be fiz expected of Uncle Sam's bays in khaki. The infantry contingent will perform the difficult and picturesque calesibanic exercises, going through the different sets accompanied by a band, while the artillery will go through the method of going in and out of action.
