Sells & Gray's circus gave two per-
formances in Carlsbad, Monday. 1t
labored under many disadvantages. The
heavy showers of Sunday night and Mon
day morning drowned out that portion
of the town where their tents were
pitched, and the heavy baggage and
animal vans soon converted the site into
swamp. During the afternoon per-
formance a heavy shower fell, and as the
main tent leaked like sieve the circus
ring was a lake of mud, preventing all
horseback work and soaking many spec
tators. However, fair attendance was
secured, and the circus left Carlsbad
people about 81 200 poorer.
