DELIGHTS ALL!
The Wonderful Forspaush- Sells Brothers
Performances.

The stupendous menagcrie. circus and
the united Great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers Shows, which are to ex-
hibit here on Aug. 20. scored the biggest
arenlc hit ever made In Boston, during It's
recent weeks season there. The press
was unanimous in according 1t indisput-
able first place among even the greater
tent entertainments. In a notice subse-
uuent to column criticism, the Globe
said:
There was large and highly pleased
audience at the consolidated circus, last
evening.
TT is a far flight from the Arctic seal
to the hippopotamus of the Nile, and a
wide stretch from the dromedary OF the
desert to the white polar bear. There
was ample room for choice and selection
in the variety of posturing ana equill-
brstie feats in a range that went al the
way from tight rope and slack wire
walking to thrilling trap peze evolutions
and grand and lofty tumbling. Whirl-
wind chariot races, skilfu, and daring
die jumping filled the spectators with the
true spirit of the turf. The docility of
the performing elephants inspired the
mind of the least rejecting with a spe-
cies of awful admiration. The graceful
ucstrianism OF the horse women was
undisputably thing of beauty. The
trick bicycle riding in some of its feat
ures closely approached the marvellous.
The grotesque antics OF the clowns
went far beyond the ordinary. The aerial
and finally the hippodrome races, which
brought the performance to a close. CON
stituted a fitting finale to an admirably
well-balanced evenings entertainment.

When evening came the rain ceased,
the moon peeped out occasionally, and
hopes were high once more for good
weather on Governors day 1t was de-
cided to celebrate by band concert, and
the 1st Regiment band proceeded to head
quarters and from S to p. NJ. furnished
Il concert of the usual excellent quality.
There Were quite number of visitors to
enjoy it, but no such crowd as was pres
sent, Tuesday evening, and as will be
present. this afternoon and evening, ii
pleasant.
The boys, having had a day of COM
parative rest, were feeling especially full
of ginger, and many left camp for the
evening. Those without passes had no
easy task to get in after the hour Of
challenging. The dances in Augusta and
Hallowell drew a number. The colonies
drew the line on too many late passes. so
the boys had to get in early or run the
risk of arrest for trying to run the guard.
The wet weather made quite a lot of ex
ira work for the hospital staff, but no
serious Illness was reported

they remained close in their tents. and
at times, when it rained the hardest and
the guards were taken off, the camp had
a most deserted and dreary appearance
In spite of the 14O0 men in its limits The
boys did not find the time heavy on their
hands. They gathered in groups in the
tents and sang, played cards, smoked
slept and spun yarns, as the spirit
moved. Some put on. their heavy coats
and ventured down town. A tour of the
company streets, yesterday, was full of
Interesting sights and sounds. The men
would no doubt have rather drilled and
marched and paraded and fought under
blue skies than have remained shut up
by the storm, but they made the most of
the rest and change afforded. What songs
they sang, and by the way, there are
many fine singers in camp who are worth
listening to. And their stories-we- would
like ten or dozen columns to fill with
some of them 1t would be interesting
reading. and of course all would be strict
~ true. Many took the opportunity to
write home to their sweethearts and tell
them about the progress of the cruel war
and how perfect their behavior had BEEN
At the officers tents it was not different
only the officers found time to jaw the
weather more than the men did.
Between rainy spells the boys ventured
out and played ball and tried athletic
sports in the company streets. A feature
of the afternoon was the rope pull be-
tween teams of six men from the ambu-
lance corps and the signal corps. 1t drew
a big crowd and there was lots of fun.
The ambulance boys won three pulls and
the signal corps team one. Both the am
bulanee and signal corps had day of
rest.

This morning there was gathered q
most wonderful collection of fuTs in the

the face, and the lining here was the

were full enough 70 GO comfortably

garment was the ideal robe for a
climate not so cold but that fur al

well as to those of comfort Some OF
us Americans bury ourselves, Eskimo
like, in fur.
A dark French girl of clear pale
complexion wore a little cape Of gray
mouf1on thatwas very pretty. The long
silky fur would have been too dull for
her skin but for the sable collar which
came up to her ears and had again the
gray mouf1on inside.
A cape of marten fur and lace was
more dressy than either Of these. II
was really a fur cape with a white lace
scarf draped about the shoulders and
wide black lace draped about the
edges. / say ''draped'' advisedly. The
border lace was too wide for houncfng;
it was caught up with furry heads and
tails in bewildering complexity.
