All of the tumbling on the island yes
terday afternoon was not seen in the big
canvas tent. Con Marley, 30, employed in
constructing the dam at West Dummer-
ston. and said to be resident of Millers
Falls, fell from the railing at the east
end of the bridge. He was sitting on the
railing when he lost his balance and
dropped backwards more than 20 feet,
striking upon his head and shoulders in
the sand. He was unconscious about half
an hour He was taken into William
Beans house, and received medical at
tendance. He recovered sufficiently to
leave town late in the afternoon.
Sig. Sautelle's Big Railroad Shows gave
two performances on the island yesterday
before good audiences. Both perform
| ances under the big tent were entirely
| satisfactory, and those who did not take
| in the "auxiiaries'' went away with the
impression that for a 25-cent show, Sau-
telle's was one of the best that had visited
Brattleboro. The ring horses were in
good order and well trained the perform
| ers were in fine condition, the costumes
| were clean ana handsome, and every
| thing under the big tent had an air of
cleanliness and responsibility. But the
| concert that followed the performance
was frost from first to last with scarce
ly a redeeming feature. The tight rope
| dancing, vaulting and somersault work of
Eddie Rives, in the main show, was an
| event that has not been equaled in any
of the big shows while the bareback
riding of Rough Rider Watson and Jen-
ME Ewers was of high grade. The hip
podrome racing, introducing Indians,
negroes and cowboys, was fast and thrill
| ling. Charles, AL. and Ella Valentine
| aerial gymnasts, gave an exhibition of
| flying trapeZe work and the Herberts
gave Roman ladder performance which
were particularly pleasing to the audi
] ence. Prof, Ewers's military drill by
eight ponies was pretty and well ex-
ecuted.
