 A GREAT AND UNIQUE ENTERTAIN l MENT.
 On Wt dnesday afternoon, August l 17, in the Van 1ngen grove, on the Green, was given, according to the handbills, "The Grandest Show on Earth" or the Edam Hindpaugh and a Sell Circus. The weather also assist. ed in helping it to unprecedented suc- cess, as 1t was most perfect after noon. The wide gates of the drive way leading to the Van Ingen grove were closed to vehicles, and the print ed notices of ''This way to the Circus" l" l with the strains of band of music, temptingly al ured pc dest rians. Once inside the grounds there was slightly appearance of big circus tent, and smaller tents exhibiting side shows l The loud calls of those in charge of ''Thts Way to the Menagerie," or '.To the CircuS," or to "Punch and Judy," and the stands of lemonade and pea nuts and the immense crowd, also the the lively band music, contributed awards fmpressing the audience with the fact that they were really attend ing Adam FOrepaugh's circus as we'll as Edam Hindpaugh s show. The pro gram pleased and excited the merri- ment of the audience from the begin ming to the end. The numerous clowns performed difficult gymnastics and were perpetual source of amuse- ment. Among the trained animals, the cat, pig, and bear, showed off to great advantage the skilful training of their keepers. The Japanese Jug glers were especially fine. The wild animals showed all the characteristics of their native countries, and were faultless in appearance. The horse shows were very good. The span of horses which trOtted as rapidly as the automobile forming their foundation could travel, were we'll handled by their driver, F. Cole, who jumped through hoops of paper in mid-a without accident. The plucky tricks by MT Williams were intensely inter- esting. Arthur Woodruff served as ring master, and Allan Robinson was
 
 auctiOneer of the posters which sold for large sums at the close of the en. tertainment. After the gorgeous pro- cessfon of the performers, one of the clowns was brought out of the dress ingrOOms, and amid cheers and hearty applause was at once recognized as Victor McCutcheon, whose skillful management of the entertainment de- deserved this appreciation. MT Mo- Cutcheon was ably assisted in the af- fair by Miss Louie Van, Ingen and Miss Bertha Seccomb.. The program, which was so we'll carried out, follows:

 TON.
 Dr Hartwell of New Milford, instead 1 Of this place as all the newspapers have it, is at this writing in precari- ous condition. He seemed to be dazed and could not sleep. Dr Marcy of New Preston was called, on Sunday, and found slight congestion of the brain, and had him put into darken- ed chamber, with no one to see him but his attendants. It was not till Tuesday night that he secured two hours sleep, the first since Thursday morning. He is now living the atro- cious scene over and over again, beg glng his assailants to "Stop! Stop Oh, don't" A chronic heart disease makes recovery very slow and doubt full. If he dies the robbers could be tried for manslaughter.
