A Circus Comes to urief.

c. F. Prescott's circus, which started from
Rockland May 22d for tour of the State,
stranded in Bangor Friday. The circus
reached here Wednesday, the 10Th and was
even then in distress. We have been able to
md but one man who attended the perform
ance here, and he reports that the show was
good, what there was of it. They left Belfast
Thursday for Bangor, where they We're bill
ed for two performances Friday, and as the
roads Were in such d terrible condition the
tent, seats, and baggage of the employees
were shipped on the Boston boat The mem
bers of the company arrived at the St. James
hotel, Bangor, hungry and wet to the skin.
a bill was due here for the board of two ad-
vance agents, and the circus treasury was
empty. Some of the people slept Thursd ay
night in the band wagon with only a piece
OF canvas to protect them from the heavy
rain Prescott left during the day with the
horses, it IS supposed Tor Rockland, his
home. The tents aud baggage were held by
the steamboat company for freight and Pres
colt had the bills of lading, and the per
formers were unable to carry out plan to
give show in Old Town from which they
expected to realize enough to pay their fares
home. A Bangor Commercial reporter saw
one of the performers, Annie Russell, who
came on from New York to fl II an engage
ment at $40 week and expenses.
When the circus arrived at Belfast she
says that Prescott came to her and said that
he would be arrested on an old account con-
tracted last year before he left town if he
could not get money to pay it. She lent him
SIS and was to have the first "whacl at
the receipts of the first performance in Ban
gor on Friday, which was to have taken
place this afternoon. Mrs. Russell said there
We're % or 30 people with the snow and all
of them have a weeks salary due them.
She said that she was never caught in such
box before and she would not be again.
She had heard that Mr.. Prescott was an
honest, square man, and she could not con-
ceive how he could leave 30 people, half of
whom had not eaten anything since Thurs
day morning, if he had left them.
Some OF the company are said to have
worked their way back to Rockland on the
Boston boat as deck hands, and party ar
rived here Saturday night in the band wag-
on, bound in the same direction. The
show disbanded under somewhat similar
circumstance last July at Castine.
