C Washburn's circus came to the city
yesterday and after street parade pitched
it's tents on the old grounds at Deering
with side shows and the usual accessories
well to the fore. The allied show has an
aggregation of two hundred people, $50
head of cattle and requires twenty-five
cars for transportation an eighteen cage
menagerie, in which the hippopotamus
the lioness with cubs, and elephant are
worthy of note. Previous to the big show
gathering crowds witnessed with bated
breath the daring leap of a man from a
two hundred foot ladder to a suspended
net near the ground. 1t was two ring
circus, attracted large audiences and had
many popular and striking features. The
grand entree; clown song by the chill
drens favorite Sam Horner; dashing
Indian riding act by Chief Old Horse;
feats of posturing, comedy balancing and
trapeze performances, especially note
worthy being the head balancing act by
Mr.. Welcome and the part played by
little Pearl Alpine. The trained dogs and
ponies led by the elephant were features
which afforded genuine amusement. The
Wild West and hippodrome displays con-
cluded the performance, which for the
most part received the verdict of popular
approval.

The Improvement of the Memory.

Isa matter which should claim the
careful attention of every student, pro-
fessional and business man and woman.
The progress in any line of mental work
is dependent largely upon the power of
memory and if there is any way by which
the memory may be permanently im-
proved it should be earnestly sought after,
and if found highly appreciated. Prof.
Asa S. Boyd of Baltimore now at
Peaks Island, has devoted his life to the
subject of memory, and is teaching how
the memory can, in very short time
be developed and strengthened. He will
lecture on this subject in this city at the
Second Parish church this evening, and
at the church of the Messiah tomorrow
evening at O'Clock. There will be no
charge for the lectures, all are invited.
Prof. Boyd comes endorsed by some of
the leading scholars and many profession
al and business men and women of this
country
