Sew York lawyer, represent ed the syndicate, and Archduke Al brecht took part in behalf of himself, his father, his wife, Isabel, and Ms six sister. The transaction concerns the vast land .ind industrial holdings of the Hapsbiirsss. distributed thruout Aus tria.. Czecho-Slovakia, Poland. Ru mania md Italy. They include the great ft?el works and mines in Tes chen. partly in Ozecho-Slovakia and partly in Poland. This :s regarded as important by the American syndicate, because the properties were not part of the pos sessions of the Austrian crown, but came to Archduke Frederick from other sources. A large part of the properties were purchased and developments from private me:in were increased during the 150 years by investments and return-; from new enterprises. Arch duke Frederick wm excluded from all his properties located in coun tries formerly composing the Aus-tro-Hungariitn monarchy. Seme oth ers were claimed as confiscated.

While not guaranteed to be the largest, this is said to be one of the best shows on the road. and its 1921 tour has been most sue cessf ul. Given as the principal reason for this is the fact that the manage merit has spared neither money or trouble to make their performances the equal of any ever presented un der a circus canvas. The regular cirrus program is opened with a beautiful patriotic ensemble, which serves to introduce the, entire per sonnel from the big dressing rooms. Then, with blood-stirring music from the large concert band, the acts follow each other in bewilder ing rapidity. Prominent among the disnlavs are the Crillion troupe in a series of new and daring feats in the air and on the ground, the Dav ennort faniilv of Riders, the Azuki Japs, Campbell-Bailey-Hutchinson's herd of performing elephants, Ro chetta, the man who walks on his head, and a score of other acts. The clowns number 25 and include some of the funniest jesters known.
