They have re-engaged Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller, the equestrians. who were such favorites last year, who will bring three horses this year instead of two. For acrobats they have secured the La Monts, a lady and two gentle men. These people were with the '' Country Circus " last year. They open in the Paris Casino Mareh lst, and go direct from their engagement here to New Vork, wliere they will set sail for France. For bar performers they have secured Boise and Picard, formerly the stars of Uingling Bros. arena. Three professional clowns will make merry for the benefit of the crowd. Lon Moore, last year's favorite, will head the list, and Clark and Devine, formerly with John Robinson's shows, will assist. Ne ila, the juggler, will do many marvelous feats, will walk the slack wire, and if the weather permits will give an outdoor tight rope performance. These artists are. all the very best that could póssibly be secured in their line, - and the boys promise an advance over last year's splendid yerfonnance. 'Kob Koy's" spectacular comic opera in three acts, music by Reginald De Koven book by Harry B. Smith, will be seen at the Grand Opera House this evening. Scottish melodies are pleasingly treated in the score. The orchestration of the work isstrong:. distinctive and masterly.

JMr. De Koven gives his Highland patriota various stirring airs and choruses, and introduces many lively and agreeable measures; in short the authors have written au opera which will increase enjoyment and afld to their reputation.
