While Mr.. Williamson was deeply
affected by this proof of the affection
ate regard in which he is held by his

other direction, and while he should al
ways have a warm corner in his heart
for the people who had been so kind

the acceptance of his resignation.
In going to his new field of labor he

been in a marked degree pervaded by
a spirit of unity, and in which he has
had the cordial support of all.

bananas with all sorts Of confectionery
commenced at the State House grounds
and lined the way to the circus grounds.
There were places where lunches were
sold, and places where bicycles were
checked. Ice cream and cigars with hot
| Coney Island sandwiches were vended
from the cart and from the sidewalk.
| tOnce inside the gate the bankers for
the moving picture show with the war
scenes, enticed the people into this
place.
The attendance at the afternoon per-
Torrance was about $500 people SO the
circus people estimated.
The menagarie as before stated is an
immense one and it seemed as though
the people would never tire Of wander
ing about the great tent and looking at
the different animals. "Old Babe" the
monster hippopotamus, down to the cage
of little monkeys was interesting. The
herd Of elephants was a large one and
they were very interesting when taken
into the rings where they performed in
a truly marvellous fashion The quad
rifle by the eight elephants was a very
pretty feature
The main circus consists of three
rings and an elevated stage There were
several marvellous events in progress
at a time. and one could select what
amused or interested him the most of
all.
Some of the features was the living
statuary, the leaping of Albert Haws
over four elephants: the aerial acting. at
times the air being fairly alive with the
performers; the baby elephant and the
ponies in a unique performance; the
trained bear: the clown band: the
wonderful exhibition Of the seals and
sea lions, which is far better than two
years ago; the marvellous riding by
Misses Davenport. Stckney and Corea;
the bicycle act by the Jacksons in which
two little children ride on the smallest
tandem ever built: the Hanlons in the
thrilling flights through the air. these
performers being among the highest
salaried in the combination: and the
acrobatic work of the Damann and Mil
lette families. There We're a thousand
and one other acts all of which deserve
praise for the manner in which they
passed off.
The evening performance was at
tended by a larger crowd of spectators
than that of the afternoon, and yet
the two crowds of the day could not
have been money makers for the man
agement. The special trains bearing
the great shows left at an early hour.
Thursday morning, for Bangor. where
