The attendance at tne two performam i s of John Robinson's circus, which showed here Saturday afternoon and night indicates that that popular form of diversion still retains a strong hold on both young and old America in this vicinity. With the exception of a few reserved seats the big canvas was tilled al the afternoon performance, and another large crowd was present In the evening, making an estimated total for the two perform.!aces of aboyt 11 |)o0 paid admissions. When it is taken into consideration that it rained most of the day this is a remarkable showing. As indicated by the crowd that witnessed the parade. people were bent upon seeing what the Robinsons had. They must have been impressed favorably, for tin y stayed for the show.
