I got a letter from Ethel B. to-day and she said that her little cousin, Paul Collins, died in April. He had the measles and pneumonia. She also said that her Aunt Lana, Paul's mother had a baby boy born in March. To-night we all went to town after going up and getting Grandma H. Georgia came over this afternoon. She is going to stay all night. I hadn't been down town very long went I saw the Mader girls and they wanted me to go with them. We went and rode on the merry go round. It is a very nice one with three horses abreast that go up and down. Then after while a young man, Charlie Reed, who was with the Mader's took us all one the ferris wheel. Then he took us on the merry go round twice. Then I left them & found papa. He & I went into the coliseum. Zella, Ogilvia, Beulah, Clifford, Lottie & Willie were there too. There were five trained dogs that walked ladders, said their prayers and walked a tight wire. One of them would do everything just backwards from the others. And it pushed a barrel along wit their feet and jumped thru hoops too. There was an orchestra there that played all the time and the cornet player was a woman. A man walked a tight wire and he also rode a bicycle on the hind wheel , front wheel, and every way imaginable. Then another man balanced a large desk with his feet and played with it up in the air with his feet. He whiled and did everything imaginable with a barrel with his feet too. About midnight was some trapeze work by two men on a large thing made of steel in the road. I saw the same stunts performed at the fair in 1908.
