Carnival and Society Circus Started Monday Night at Armory.

The indoor fair and society circus started Monday evening with an attendance of about one hundred. The Boys’ Band played on the street and also in the armory. An admission of 10 cents was charged at the door and several scenes familiar in the streets during the progress of a,carnival, went seen. The small pay shows are in booths, and H. Sanger, the manager, takes personal charge of the show. A performance of considerable merit is the free attraction Inside the hall, which consists of trapese performing by two young men. The plantatfim performance was quite well patronized and the coon shouters are good entertainers. The voting contest for the Queen of the Carnival was started and the following young ladies were nominated: Lizzie Riddle, Ruth Ames, Gertie Leopold, Julia Leopold, Ethel McCarthy, Mrs. Kenneth Rhoades. Voting boxes have been placed la Duvall’s, Fate’s, Milliron’s, Little Indian, Jessen’s, Tobias's, Nowels’s, and at the armory. - --<*-• There will be a show each night and matinees Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.
