ers' union of greatest menageries, cir cuses and hippodromes, which comes to Bridgeport, Friday, May Is, after sec. ond seasons overwhelming success in the Madison Square Garden, New York city, seems to be fully justified in it's advertis. ing claims by the many good and impar- tial things said of it. Every newspar CT Senstcr Chauncey M. Depew voiced the general opinion in saying: "Your show is novel. brilliant, up-so-date, exhil- arating and absolutely clean.' 1.-The biggest circus that New York ever saw" says the World, and that is just what everyone, everywhere, who has seen it says. The listed living wonders and high-class acts and races supply enough entertainment to astonish and amuse 6 nation. The biggest canvases on earth are filled with the biggest collection of rarest wild beasts, the biggest herds of performing elephants, the biggest troupes and schools of trained quadru. peds and amphibia, and the biggest cir GUS and hippodrome companies, who pre- sent 6 hundred splendid acts and races in three rings, on elevated stages and pedestals, overhead, and on the biggest course ever csnopied. To psrticularize would be impossible, but an idea of the stupendous scale upon which the sggre. gation is conducted may be gathered from the fact that it employs thousand men and horaes, introduces 19great male and female bareback equestrians, has 6 whole comic circus of 25 world-famous clowns, and, altogether, some 300 noted representatives in every branch of arenie art, from sprites and bicyclists in mid-ail to supple Samsons on the ground. The daily morning street parade presents many wild beast displays and magnificent
 spectacular effects.

 About 100 turned out at the town meet
 ing on last Saturday to consider what tC
 do in the matter of fauthorizirg the select
 men to borrow money to pay the running
 expenses of the town. Town Clerk
 Houlihan called the meeting to order and
 Charles H. Peck WAS appointed chairman.
 Attorney Beecher offered the following resolutions
 Resolved, That committee of three be appointed to ascertain. the financial ! condition of the town and report at g meeting to be held May 19.
 Resolved, That said committee be and they are hereby empowered to summon such persons with books and papers be- fore theml for examination as they In their discretion deem proper.
 T. J. Corbett thought that the reso1u- tions were not germane to the call, though he was as anxious as any one to know how the town stood, and called for decision of the chair on the point. MT Beecher thought the clause "any other business proper to be done' in the call would cover the resolutions. Upon MT Corbett's insisting on ruling Mr Peck decided that the resolutions were not in order at that time, but an appeal was taken from the decision of the chair and carried. Selectman Glover said his books were open for inspection at all times and that the resc lutions were offered in spite. Mir Beecher said he had no thought of spiting anyone but thought it was plain business proposition to know more about the financial condition of the town so that intelligent action could be taken. D. G. Beers said that aome action of the kind contemplated seemed necessary as the officisl did not seem prepared and ip condition to give any information. Upon call Treasurer Northrop gave the follow ing synopsis of the orders paid by him since the 18th of last September:
 Number of orders, CTS; amount, $21, ,255,79; registrars orders, $134.15; justices orders, $124,95; healtaasc fficer $72; school visitors, $40. Total disburse. ments, $21, ,60689. The income from sI sources for this fiscal year to date MT Northrop gives as $21, ,492 85.
 After some further discussion the reso. lutions as offered were carried. The committee appointed were William H. Hubbell, W. J. Beecher and E. l.. John son. The meeting then adjourned for two weeks to Saturday, May 19, 1900, at 2p. m.
