The show is car ried on thirty-two double-length cars. There are seventy-two mons ter wagons; and 398 people ladles and gentlemen, to the very last of them. The seal of eleaullnep Is up on the show, and the watchword of the Wortham show is "decency al ways". Every promise niaio Is be ing fulfilled. Every contract 1; lived up to, to the 1' iter. On Tuesday evening In company with his honor the mayor it was a Herald reporter s pleasure to visit most of the shows and for our part we are ready and willing to go on record in saying that they are the very best that we have ever seen. The trained v 11 1 animal show Is the big feature and it la every thing that U was claimed to be splendid In ev ery detail. But there are others and in their different ways they ere all features, and It would hardly be fair to dwell too long on any one, 'lii.w. My Lady s Fan show opened Wed nesday evening for the first time this season, and from the moment, tlie doors were opened until midnight U was crowded all the time. On Mon day night the first show at the Mnd-i Clly was free to the ladies and ch'ld ren, and from that time on their bus itiexs was assured. Goodness knows that Krail's Wonderland show doesn't ned any boosting, neither does the bis Au'odrome. You are bound to follow the crowd and then you come away to find your friends and send them In. While you have the opportunity don't fail to init the Submarine show and the Panama Canal exhibi tions. See Snake Old. then pass on to Lady May and her family of thirty-six.
