Forty merry mummers will add hi
larity to the ring performance of the
Forepaugh-Sells' circus Monday next.
The clawn of today is a feature in
multiplied number and glory. OF late
years the sawdust jester has been
crowded out of the arena. Years ago 1t
was between the rests of the bareback
riders that he cut up with the ringmas-
ter and got sharp crack Of the whip
for his good-natured tomfoolery. Once
in while he came in as dull look
ing countryman who had taken more
hard cider than was good for him, and
undertook to ride a crazy pony. But
now he is loaded down with accom-
plishments and must not only be able
to grimace and jest effectually but to
tumble, jump, ride and play musical
instruments.
In the Forepaugh- Sells-circus there
are forty of these droll fellows, nor
are all of them of til traditional white
face, streaked in rec and black, loose
ly dressed in the costume of dotted
white. Some appear as stage Dutch
men and Irishmen, some as dudes,
some as over-grown boys, some as
"Wearie Willies" They are the bust
est people in the whole circus. The
great stars in spangles, the wonderf-'l
folk who perform on the flying trap
exc, who swing by their teeth in the
dim distant de "kness in the top of the
tent, who gallop madly around the
sawdust rings with their long pink
tights and gauzy little skirts can come
out and be applauded and disappear in.

the program for good measure, and
must always be on the spot. He per

he runs away through the red curtain

old-time clown again and greet hin
cordially.
