 It would be unjust to pass over the work of the number of clever clowns. Their work was ludicrous and was really entertaining.
 The circus carries the best menag- erie that has been seen in Montgom- cry for many a day. For example there are nine polar bears. which must be supplied with ice throughout the entire season. There are tapirs, emus- hippopotami, rare birds. rare snakes. rare simians.
 The crowd within the circus tent was very orderly. There was hardly rlp- pie during the long performances.
 The water sprinklers carried by the company worked hard on the highways leading to the circus and the dust was somewhat settled.
 During the night performance the workers began tearing down the tents and hacking the effects of the big cir eng Nothing was moved until after everything was packed and 1t was well after midnight before the first section of the circus train pulled out for Co., Iumbus.

IMMENSE THRONG OF PEOPLE Ar
 TRACTED BY THE CIRCUS.
Forepaugh-sells Combinntion Present' cd Every Act Advertised and Pleased Two Montgomery Audiences of Tremendous
 Proportions.

A great show is the circus of Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros.
 Tremendous crowds witnessed the big street parade and the matinee and night performances in Montgomery yesterday. It was estimated that ful- ly 10000 persons pressed into the main tent. It Is highly probable that there was never as large circus audience in Montgomery as the one that yester- day afternoon overran the Todd's show grounds and more than comfortably filled the big tent with its seating ca- pacity of 10000. Circus men estimat- ed the attendance last night as great CT than in the afternoon. a
 Montgomery made rather a gala day of yesterday owing to the presence of the circus. Its stay in Montgomery Sunday undoubtedly aided the circus in drawing the great crowds to it's tents. Over thousand people caught glimpses of the big show, while it's em- ployes were busy preparing for yes- terday's performances and those who saw the preparations realized that the Forepaugh-Sells combination was no ordinary circus.
 The show had been we'll advertised better advertised, probably. than any circus has ever been in Montgom- cry. The management had attractive posters out and long before the big or- ganization arrived in the city, the names of Daring Diavolo'' and "Prodi- gious Porthos" were we'll known to every child and a majority of the grown ups within the confines of the Capital City of Alabama.
 As early as o'clock yesterday morn- ing. crowds of country negroes began docking into the city. From the farms

scottsboro, Oct. 17.-tspeeial)-In an interview with Judge John B.

May Ahnndon Debates.

There is a probability that the series of four debates tentatively arranged between Captain Richmond F Hobson, Democratic elector, and Col John T Blakemore, the well-known Republican orator, will not materialize.
 Chairman Mallory of the State Dem ocratic Executive Committee, has writ ten to Hon. Pope Long, chairman of the Republican State Campaign Com mittee. that the debates would not have the sanction or financial assistance of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee, and whatever arrangements Captain Hobson makes with reference to them must be made on his own re- sponsibility. The letter was evoked by an offer from Chairman Long to de- fray half the expenses of the debates. 1t is assumed that MT. Mallory does not see any necessity for the debates in a State which is safe for the Democratic national ticket
 Previous to the receipt of this letter by Chairman Long Colonel Blakemore received a letter from Captain Hobson to the effect that he was ready to carry out his part of the program. Since that time Colonel BlakemoTe has not heard directly from Captain Hobson. but he has been informed by a mutual friend that Captain Hobson still in- tends to keep the appointments.
 The dates and places of the debates, as agreed upon tentatively, are as foi- lows: Huntsville. October 31 Birming- ham. November l. Montgomery, No vember 2; Mobile, November 8.

Hon. Sidney J. Bowie, member of Congress from the Fourth District of Alabama, was in Birmingham today.
