Juggler and gladiator, as he bills himself.  He went much better here this afternoon than when I saw him in Columbus last week.  However I still maintain that he is not doing the act he did two years ago.  He is not working as hard.  He is foreflushing a whole lot and Paul Conchas is so far ahead of this act as it stands at the present that there is no comparison.  The second part of Spadoni’s act where he does the heavy weight work went much better than the first part.  He tries to compel the house to furnish everything he uses with the exception of a shell and six cannon balls.  He wants live gold fish, plenty of lumber, to break up, some armour plate, and most anything that he happens to want to use.  He argues that all this is in his contract but I could not find it there.  Consequently he had to spend some of his salary in Cleveland for stuff that he intended to break up.  His act is good but does not lume up well by comparison.  Open in two, then F.S. 20 min.
