tonishment and admiration at the

splendid buildings, the complete equipment, and the numerous ingeni

TI.eir views were summed up by one member of the parlv who declared " Well, we thought that Colac led Victoria in the dairying business., but we never sau" anything like this before" The stoci; naturally came in for a large share of atention, and die herds on eaeli farm were greatly admired, while

a beautifullot of heifers that were on

" LOLA."

Clara Kimball Young, the prime favorite of all picture artists, will occupy the chief role in the star picture at Leitch's next Monday. The study is entitled "Lola," and the central idea is t.hi transmigration of the soul from the body combined with a presentiment of the theory that life can be restored ;>fter death. Scientists have endeavored to promulgate these theories into actual reality for years, but Uiougli they

have not sneeeeded there have been i oue or two isolated instances where j , a quivering reaction has taken place,

lasting for some time, in which the

inanimate subject appears to be re- j stored to life. In the story under notice Lola is the daughter of a docâ–  tor who engages on an invention for

I the restoration of life. Lola is killed

in a street accident, and her father thus has the opportunity of placing his invention to the test. The soul ' passes from the bod}-, but Lola

e-nerges as another woman. Death claims her a seco;.d time, hut, brokenhearted at the unsatisfactory outcome of his previous great success the doctor refuses to use the invention again, and thus the tragedy is

complete.

ST. LliON'S CIRCUS.

The Christmas and New Year festivities ditl not, apparently, leave the pockets of the general public empty, for at St. Leon's Cirens last night, practically every seat was occupied. The airy and capacious tent afforded a degree or comfort not always felt in the regular building on a hot night, and the pcformance held the close attention oE the audience from the beginning to end. Novelties of -several kinds were introduced. Liv

ing statuary by the Jlentfrews was we'll illustrated in the pose of famous ^presentations, and the acrobatic and gymnastic features were specimens of agility and cleverness equal to any thing seen before The Klmars showed their posinij and physical culture training. The patter of the clowns had the merit of originality, and their initios were really smart. The equestrianism was of the usual type, and as enjoyable a; ever. The concluding item was high jumping by horses. No interval was allowed in the programme, and it was just as well, for a storm at about ten o'cluck must have made the management auxious about the canvas structure As soon as the people were out they hurry-skurried home.
