The circus and hippodrorme at the Canadian National Exhibition, To.. ronto, this year will be more varied and interestin than over before. A specialty has goon made of trained animals, and elephants, lions, ‘horsos, dogs, sheep and swine will act as it they had human intelli- gence. Then there are a swarm of acrobatic acts, each of which has 't world-wide reputation, swarms of) clowns to furnish the laughs, eques- trienna lots, chariot noel, auto polo, and a, few thrillers. Add all this to the musical ride. the musi- cal surprise, a big cadet number, Nero, and the Burning of Rome, the Wreck of the Airship, and a double bill of fireworks, and you have to admit that the Canadian National Exhibition is keeping well ahead of tho procession in the mab- ter of acusements.
