Middletown transcript., 1903-09-05

The price OF eggs is said to be rather
high for the time Of year. Most every.
one is complaining Of not getting many
eggs as hens are lnoulting.
Some of our visitors have told the
writer that this has been the most pleas
ant summer they have ever spent in the
country, and promise to make an early
return next season.
Until further notice the Middletown
Public Library will be open on Tuesday
evenings, from to $50; Saturday after.
moons, from 1 to 5; Saturday evenings
from 7 to $50.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. R. Brown entertained
large company Of young people last
evening in honor of the 21st birthday of
their son, Elwood. Games, music, and
other amusements were endulged in un-
til late hour, when the guests were in
vited to the dinning room where refresh
ments were served Mr.. Brown was
the recipient of many useful gifts, which
will long keep fresh in his memory the
occasion.
Monday, September 7th, is Labor Day,
and in the large cities business is sus-
pended and the day given over to cele-
bration that harmonizes with its signifi-
canoe. 1t is day that is observed to a
more or less extent throughout the coun-
try. About the only thing here that re-
minds the people of the day is the clos
ing of the banks, and of the ]. G. Parker
& Son Co., harness factory. If you have
a note due on Monday, it will have to be
attended to to-day.
The last Pennsylvania Railroad ex-
cursion to Rehoboth, at what is known
as the dollar rate, was patronized by
a great crush of people last Thursday.
Twenty-Five crowded day coaches went
down the road to the resort, over 800
excursionists joining the army of pleas.
ure seekers at Georgetown alone. 1t
was probably the largest excursion ever
run through Delaware by the Pennsyl-
vania road. At some of the stations
where the train stopped for water, boys
lined the platform with peaches for sale
and closed out all they had at war prices.
The trains ran through each way with
but little delay. 1t is probable that
more of these excursions will be run
next season, that the patrons may not
all have to wait and go on the same day.
The old saying "When you have seen
one circus you have seen them ALL" may
apply to some shows but not to Sig. sau-
telle's new big three-ring, Oscar railroad
circus, menagerie, royal Roman hippo
drome and historical wild west, which
will be seen in Middletown, Tuesday
afternoon and evening, September 10Th.
His is the largest, grandest and best of
all American circuses. His vast tented
amusement institution differs in the most
essential particulars from the shows one
has been accustomed to, in-as-much as
the acts are all new, novel and original.
Many are highly sensational and thrill
ing to marked degree, the entire per-
forlnance being the most aesthetic enter
tainment ever seen under canvass. Prom
inent among the novel features offered
this vaar nv Mr. Sautella ara the 3-hOrsp
and pony act and earth's only riding
lion. Sixty-three members Of the equine
race perform, under the direction of one
person, a series of intricate feats in one
OF the regular rings. So many horses
and ponies in one ring acting simultan-
eously is most wonderful and imposing
sight. Nero" a monstrous African lion
rides a pony and performs many other
wonderful feats. A gigantic gratuitious
street parade will be given over the main
Of Middletown at 10 A. M,
on the above day and date. The pageant
will be full mile in length and all aglow
with brilliant features, including lustrsus
chariots, vans, dens of wild beasts, bands
of eminent musical artists, steam CALI
ope and more big things than was ever
witnessed before in street procession.
Surpasses all others, you should not miss
the grand free spectacle. Re-
member the day, date and place.
