Sells Brothers circus drew large crowds
ances Saturday. The general verdict is
that it was the finest circus ever appear
ing in Ellsworth, Barnum's not excepted.
The circus arrived early Saturday morn
ing on three trains, drawn by six engines.
The interesting operation of unloading
the thrty-eight cars and pitching the
tent an enormous canvas, attracted
p,nch aftantioD The street parade in
the morning was the largest ever seen
here. The circus proved all it was ad-
vertised, which is saying a great deal for
circus. The menagerie was large and
interesting, the mammoth hippopottami
being the centre Of attraction. The only
complaint was that there was too much
to be seen, with performances in prog
ress in two rings and on stage. Sells
Brothers circus is certainly first class
show, and may be sure OF liberal patron
age on the occasion of it's next visit to
Maine. The circus left here for the
provinces.
