 MADE A HIT.

The performance given by the Sells & Downs circus is the equal of any that has visited Newport in recent years. Many star performers and families of established regulations as gym nasts and acrobats, bicycle riders, horseback riders and aerial artists are under contract with this show and made the program one of interest and ex- cellence from first to last.
 The afternoon performance was witnessed by a comfortably filled tent, but at night the crowd was small and the exhibi- tion badly cut.
 Several grating games were running in the side shows and many fleeced, but little sympathy is due the man who goes up against one of these sure-thing devices.
 The side show and concert ot the main show were up to the usual standard, which is hardly a boost, but rather a knock.
