| Burr Robbins & Colvin spread their circus
canvas in this city on the 25th inst, and
among its attractions is the announcement
that Prof. Doud, the modern Samson, will
astonish the crowd by lifting 1900 pounds.
This exhibition of strength may do for other
sections of the country, but it is of no account
here. st. Paul can furnish laddie who does
lot weigh over 140 pounds, and is consump
tive at that, who can lift Prof. Doud's boasted
| 1900 pounds with the professor on top of it.
This is no idle boast, but an actual challenge,
and will be demonstrated If the truth of the
| assertion is doubted. That ts the kind OF
boys we grow in st. Paul.
