The aaventh annual boy 'a clrcua alvan
at tha local "V" gymnaalum last Thurs

end In respect to tha interest It arouaed
among Omaha boydom. J. T. Maxwell,
general manager of the ahow, waa wall
pleaaed with the affair end declares It
will ba held again next year.
It waa evident from tha applause meted
out to the youthful performere that the
V ltourka. and thla .children of Omaha are luat aa tickled
with a circus of their own aa that of a
mammoth aggregation with Its special
train and army of trained entertainers.
The popular pair of the eomto papers.

the crowds Immansely. Jeff had to be
extricated from the depths of a molaasea
barrel none too empty and hla antlca In 1
tha atlcky receptacle kept everyone laugh- j

The fat lady, the anake charmer, the i
living skeleton, the clowns and the ponce- I
man all added to the success of the enter
tainment and kept thtag humming Car
ing the aide ahow performance, which
waa a feature In itself.
All the boy who acted these parts
rare an disguised under grotesque and
padded eoetumes, gobs of colored paint,
ourled muatachee and loose wtga that
even their own parents failed to recog
nise them. Itueeell Larmon, as' the anake
charmer, proved the hit of the whole,
show and had to repeat his performance
with writhing rubber reptiles several
times during the evening to the satisfac
tion of the crowd.

STATE TENNIS TOURNEY SURE

taCOLN TO BE THE SP0NS0B
Mcvtlan e He HU Omaha Darlag
the Ptrat Werk la April te Per
fect a Prrwutacat Ora.a-laatlea.
U Is aUcost a certainly now that there
will be a permanent state tennis tourna
ment organized. A letter waa received
yesterday by r'em Caldwell from A. I
Weather!- ot Lincoln saying that the park
board waa to Instill-two tennla courta
In a park In that city and that Prof.
Skinner of tha State university was highly
In favor ot a state tournament and that
Lincoln would make a bid for the tourney.
Prof. Bklnner will call a meeting ot
all the tennla man In Lincoln some day
next week and perfect the Lincoln Tennis
club. At that meeting a delegate will be
appointed to attend the meeting In Omaha
which will be held during the first week
In April to form a permanent organi
zation.
The Idea of holding a atata tournament
was first thought of by Sum Caldwell,
who put the mattrr before the Omaha
tennla men -at a recant meeting. So
definite action waa taken, but JJr. Cald
well waa appointed a committee of one
to correspond with the various tennis
men In theiatate and get their sentiment.
This he did and at the present time over
twenty towns have sent In letters expi
lng themaelvee of being greatly la favor
of a closed state tennla tournament. Tha
only tennla town In tha atata which has
not been heard from la Beatrice and a
letter la expected from there any day now.
Tha eucceea of the tournament la assured
and greater Interest haa been displayed
in It than waa expected,
l.lareln Waits Tearaey. '
Lincoln will bid on the tournament and
will in all. probabilities get It as It la
tha best located town In the stats and
will have three double courta The date
of the tournament will be decided upon
leter, but It probably will be held about
the middle of summer and about two
weeks before the midwest tennla tourna
ment which win be held early In August.
Last year at the trl-state tennla tourna
ment held at Sioux City, there were about
twenty-five entrants from the state of
Nebraska and a similar number at a
tournament held In Iea Moines. The
Omaha clubs each aay they will sand at
least three or tour representatives from
Omaha to the tournament and with the
smaller towns sending In their represen
tatives It la thought that the state tourna
ment wtll be made the largest tennis
event In the atata The organisation will
be a permanent one and tha tournament,
will be held In a different city every year.
