6 trained bears that were about as genuine a frost as anything we have ever had in the house. At the matinee they barely got through and at night they failed to make good in any sense of the term. I have not received the salary for this act yet but if it is very much I fear we are cheated so far as Columbus is concerned. At the finish of the act last night there was not a single ‘hand’ a most remarkable feat for a closing act in this house. They perform a few stunts but none of them seem to excite the slightest interest except where one animal stands on its head after which stunt there was a little half-hearted applause. I thought that perhaps the act was so good that my patrons were nonpulsed with its merit but when I inquired among a few I changed my mind. Rocky Pass 11 minutes.
