CIRCUS DAY.
Usual Scenes tending the Big
shows.

Greater Portland had a holiday Of its
own yesterday. 1t WAS Circus day, day
that isn't set down in red figures In the
calendar, but nevertheless holiday.
The big shows of Adam Fnrepaugh and
Sells Bros, which came together In New
York seven weeks ago, and are touring
the country as combined circus, pitched
their tents beyond the ball grounds on
Forest avenue. and before the sun was
established as II they had been there a
whole month. From the arrival of the
first load of tent poles till the sleek look
ing team horses had tngeed the last cart
of the turf, those grounds were an at
traction for myriads of sightseers.
There was only one lull, and that was
during the hour and half that the
chaFiotsi horses, ponies, elephants,
camels, daring riders and the screeching
callioIe were covering three or four miles
of PoItiand's chief thoioughfares. Before
the bead of the procession got back at the
grounds the electric cars had deposited
thousands of people there and the avenue
from Green street. to Woodfords corner
was lined with vehicles OF all sorts.
Tee parade was an exceptionally good
one. The horses locked we'll fed, the roll
ing stock glittered with its fresh coat of
paint and bronze, and tine aocoutrements
of the riders and drivers looked tidy and
new.
AS for the circus itself, 1t was well mp
to the high standard which the Fore
paughs and the Sells family have won
their fame and fortune on. In some re-
spects, 1t outshons the best that Maine
had ever seen. The attendance was ex.
cellens. The big tent was comfortably
peoplad in the afternoon, and packed to
the wings at ths evening performance.
Three rings and an elevated stage were
in constant use most of the time, and ii
was as much rs one pair of eyes could do
to keep tabs on all that was going on.
Usually -four separate though similar en-
tertainments were 90 mpeting for atten-

horses and their riders, the platform was

After lengthy negotiations and some
dispute. the jewels OF the late Fanny
Davenport have been sold by the execu.
tors to Miss Blanche Walsh, the actress,
for $40, 0D0, Miss Davenport's estate mas
proven TO be of much less value than was
anticipated. When she died it was be-
lieved that her jswelry alone was worth
100000 Upon examination it was found
that the value WAS greatly oYerestimated,
thought the collection cost her great
amount-many thousands more than the
$40, eco now realized.

'sThe journey fron Flagstaff oc- cupies from ten to twelve hours at a speed of about seven miles an hour. The stages are drawn by teams of six mules, and hy cracking his whip continuously and keeping up an in- cessant howl the driver manages to persuade the animals to gallop the entire distance.
 "Tme trail leads through heavy forests of pine and the shivering as pen, the tree of which the legend says the cross of Christ was made. for which reason the leaves are con stanrly trembling in fear and grief. The stage passes around the base or The San Francisco mountains, the highest altitude reached being S,90O feet. while the brink of the canyon is 1000 feet above the sea. There are long stretches of lava drift and black cinders that have been thrown out of inDumerable volcanic craters in the neighborhood that are now si lent and extinct. Occasionally you pass through narrow canyon or
