Circus Day.

Tuesday was circus day in Bellows
Falls, and although it rained little
and some thought it was warm, it was
not the worst day of all the year for such
an occasion. The crowd was not as
large as many anticipated, and this
was probably owing to the threatening
weather in the morning.
The street parade in the morning was
one of the largest and best ever seen in
this place and the entertainments given
at the grounds were high grade and
first class in every respect.
Sells Bros. travel with 40 cars of their
own and have in all about 500 people
connected with the show. They have
250 horses and IS wagons. There are
three show tents, two cook tents, and
eight horse tents. The big circus tent
arranged as it was here had seating
capacity Of 10000. By putting up five
instead of four centre poles, the tent
will seat $4,000. Everything was neat
and orderly and the strictest discipline
maintained. The show people made
very favorable impressions on the peo-
pie of this community.
The show did not have poor feature
On its program. The feats Of Romulus,
the strong man, were truly wonderful.
This man is an Italian, 25 years of age
and weighs 100 pounds. He has been
training for some over 10 years and has
a muscular development like steel.
With his right arm he lifts dumb
bell weighing $50 pounds perpendicu-
larly over the head, and with a harness
lifts two horses and the platform on
which they stand. This man poses as
the rival of Sandow, and says he has
challenged Sandow to test of strength,
but nothing has come Of it yet. Romu-
lus can contract his chest to 36 inches
and expand to 5l3 inches.
The hppopotami, a male and fe-
male, were perhaps the most interest
ing animals in the managerie. These
weighed l50 pounds each when first
put on the road, but now weigh 34OO
pounds each. The tumbling, riding,
and bicycle scenes were all good
Perhaps the most novel and most
wonderful entertainment was the solo
and band concert given by the seals
and sea-lions. These animals seemed
to possess intelligence almost human.
This show goes north into Canada
soon, and the price will be put at SO
