BELFAST TRAMP TALKS.

Andrew Robbins, who was committed

what he was:
Il am not tramp. They call me the
Belfast tramp. but that is a hickman, =.

gusta for IA years. l was married hera.
OF course when l get out of work in

Tramps don't work"
Robbins says that he has no doubt
that he will be acquitted in the SUI
preme court. He showed the Journal

scar on it, He brushed aside his hair

gers in several places on his head and
declared that he could find the identi-

The Rarest Wild Beast Exhibit.

The number and variety of perfect
wild beasts, birds and amphibia massed
in the consolidated menageries of the
Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers United Shows, which appear
here on Friday, August goth, is enor-
nous and unprecedented. And there
are many stupendous, curious and beau
tiful creatures, never before placed on
exhibition and nowhere else to be seen.
Included among these are the only
school of trained seals and sea lions,
the pair of giant male and female hip
popotamuses, an Ethiopian gnu, or
horned horse; a Niger antelope, an
African Gland, a fullgrown, snow
white, polar bear, an Orinoco tapir, and
monster, double horned Sumatra
.rhinoceros. Plenty of time is given to
inspect them, both before and after
the grand arenic performances. Don't
slight them in undue anxiety to secure
a seat. There is plenty of room under
the big hippodrome tent for all corners.

Augustus new band stand was
brought to the attention of the public,
last evening, by concert given by the
Augusta Cadet Band. Ard the public
turned out to show its appreciation Of
the bands efforts. The programme,
which appeared in the Journal. Tues
day morning. was rendered in a credit
able manner.
The audience numbered nearly 1900
people, who either passed the evenin.,
on the park where the new band stand
is located, or strolled up and down TIC
neishborng sidewalks. Lawn and
Piazza seats We're utilized by people
who reside near the park, and the
scene was very pleasant one.
The new stand is an artistic struct-
with the pretty little park knows, it is
located at very advantageous point
The roof is covered with shingles ar
ranged after the manner followed in
finishing the roofs of towers to modern
cottages, and its style throughout is in
touch with the handsome DWELLINGS
about the park. The rail TO the stand
as well as that on the steps. are made
of hard pine, polished and well oilei.
The last stroke of work was done, yes
terdhy, and the sounds made by the
mechanics tools was succeeded in the
evening, by melody from the instru-
ments of Director F. A. Dennis
musicians.
The band men are enthusiastic about
the new stand. and they propose to
have some great Programmes for the
coming concerts which will be given
each week during the remainder of the
season.
Director Dennis said that he had
intended to give two band concerts. this
week. the extra one being Friday night.
but that as there will be 4 circus in the
city that evening the concert will not
be given. There will be two, mex.
