...last Friday morning September 23, cannot but call forth protest from one who has recently completed the course in question with a resulting opinion of almost diametrically opposite character, and who realizes that he is not entirely alone in his views. You have well described it as "a maze of dates, names and bibliography," to which is added "the stiff and remarkably comprehensive map requirements."

The Garden's roof was a maze of ropes and wires, its floor a carpet of earth, sawdust and manure. In the air blue with tobacco smoke hung an odor as unmistakable as it is complex? acrid wild animal mixed with sawdust, hemp, tar, leather and gunpowder?the immemorial smell of Circus...
