differ from the express railroad train
in the fact that when it is wrecked at
top speed somebody gets hurt; but in
all fairness it is TO be said that. CON

For the origin of the modern circus
one must go back to the English fairs
Of the seventeenth, eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries. Unlike the
American county fairs of the present
day, which are more in the nature Of
live stock exhibitions. the early Eng
lish fair was a rout Of dancing, fid-
ding. drinking, fighting, wrestling and
bull baiting-a gathering, as it were,
Of merry andrews, mOnstrosities, bull
lies, 1ilts, tight rope walkers, acrobats,
contortionists, equestrians, mounte-
banks, Grimacers, scaramouches,
thieves, pickpockets, idlers, beggars
fortune tellers, gypsies and those upon
whom they prey.-E. S. Hallock in
