DAN RICE, the retired circus clown, who
dotted the motley a score of years ago, is living
at Long Branch He sadly contrasts the circus
of the past with the gigantic aggregations of
the present era The idea Of performances in
four rings ut once is absurd " said the veteran:
while the clown, who in former days was the
standard and star attraction OF every circus
has sunk to the level OF a mere pantomimist

seems to be quantity at the expense OF quality
O for the c rcus Of our daddies when the en-
trance of one into Wnyback or Torpidtown
meant a holiday for all the country round. The
circus Of to-day is but nountebank show"
