Agood many dogs in act so many I could not count same all kinds big and little. Anordinary dog act doing the tricks common to all dog acts, but with so many dogs it makes quite a flash . Seemed to please at Matnee but no hand at Finish.
Went The Same at Night.

The Shows the past two or three weeks have nothing to them to draw and bussinesshould be better then it is as the weather is still cool. Mr. Davis has spoke to me about them and thinks the are poor to what we should have for the money. Now to-day the orther acts kind off spoil the dog act no life to them.They are getting good money/too. Anna Madigan work the Union Prev. for 100.00 dollars a week and Mr. Davis said he paid her 125.00 for a week but the price her is 150.00 week. The Kendall Trio is a fair act but it is not worth the money. Emile Edgarmour is O.K. for salary.
^[As hear as I can find out the [Pastine?] is doing a fair Business doing good night but poor matnees.]
