 The small boy will be in great joy tomorrow for it is circus day. The large elephants, the great wagons the gaily dressed riders, the balloon man, the peanut man, the red lemonade and hundred other things will have their attractions for the youngsters.
 -One of the night watchmen at the Farrel Foundry and Machine concern owns a bull dog which possesses not at all gentle nature. It has a habit of attacking persons besides those en- gagged in attempting to rob the foundry not of men but of goods. Last night resident of this section was runnfHg to the fire which was in the Lampson block on Bank street. It was about l2:45. He was running past the foun- dry when the dog bounced out and at- tackled him. Fortunately the man had q pair of boots and the only damage incurred was that the boot was badly torn. The watchman better watch his dog better or he will be minus one in the not distant future.
 In the Bank, Porter and Barnard street schools exercises in commemora- tion of Memorial day were held A large number of visitors were present and enjoyed the delightful exercises which were of patriotic nature. The 2. A. R., were represented as follows at the exercises: Bank, F. D. Bangs and ID. c. Marggraff; Porter. J. l.. Saxc and Theodore Knapp; Barnard, w. D. Hinckley and Charles Goodwin. In addition to the exercises, exhibitions of class work were held. The walls of the various rooms were almost hidden with the abundant display of work per- formed by the children during the past year. The papers and drawings were very fine, Ut once a credit to the teach CTS and to the scholar. The visitors spent considerable time in looking ov- CT the different papers and their opin- ions were of q most favorable nature These exhibitions are productive of much good inasmuch as they urge the pupils to do the very best of work in order that 1t may be display ed on the day of the exhibition
 1.-The fruit vender, who made himself so obnoxious to the residents of Washington Hill by his shouting of his wares and accordingly was forbid den by the police to continue such shouts, is now practicing his voice in this section much to the dIscomforture of the residents. That the latter are not at all pleased with the manner in which he attempts to sell his wares may be seen from the following re- marks made by a resident of James street: Every morning about o'clock he drives up James street yelling and shouting at the top of his voice. His voice sounds like fog horn. Of all the unearthly voices, his is unexceiled. For fully fifteen minutes before he reaches my house. I can hear his cries. The residents are rather disturbed by these actions Some of the women may be enjoying a rest at this time but they are awakened by his shout ing and the sick persons are disturbed. It is the same person who was forbid den to shout his wares on Washington Hill. For couple of weeks, after he was forbidden to yell, he employed sew eral boys to go in the houses and find out what the owners wanted. But it l is said the truant officer went after the boys and made them go to school. The police authorities have forbidden the owner of a large shoe store centrally located to ring bell which was on a 1 wagon, on which was the outline of a large shoe which was used as an ad- l vertising medium. If they stop that, why don't they stop this shouting Itali- an vender."
