90 The circus of Antonio Brothers was
we'll patronized, Friday. There was fair attencc
ance in the afternoon and great crowd at night
We believe the performance gave general satis'ac-
ton. Among the "side shows was man without
arms who conld write and draw beautifully with
his toes, and another without legs but with feet
who was active as monkey.
In early times "oircus day" was marked by the
greater influx of people into town than on any
other day. No perceptible difference could be oo'
served yesterday on our streets in this respect
though the greater part Of those attending the
circus appeared to be country people.
