1894 PASSES LET HIM IN.
Postmaster Potter Saw the Circus at
Norwich Tuesday ard Never Paid a
Cent.

That important parsonage who gath
cred the tickets from the hands of the
| anxious multitude that crowded
through the entrance to the big show
of the Forepaugh- Sells Brothers at
Norwich Tuesday must have thought
someone was trying to pull off a new
stunt for getting in where they keep
the animals when he looked at a
couple of passes that were offered as
a medium of admission. They were
dated 1894, but the man that had them
saw the circus and COT course this is i
secrat) never paid a cent, either.
Those old passes told a story to the
man at the entrance to the main top
They were handed to him by Post
master Charles A. Potter of Danielson.
who was in charge of one of the ad-
vertising cars of the Forepaugh shows
for a dozen years, and who is known
to circus men from Mexico City to
Quebec. The passes that he handed
up yesterday as a joke bore his own
like thousands of others that he pass
ed out to lucky persons when he was
ten days ahead of the show" They
Were honored, too, and gladly, though
they were not taken up. They are
good for every performances that the
show gives from now until the tents
are folded for the last time.
Postmaster Potter not only saw the
show yesterday, but also many friends
Of other days. Many of the old timers
have, of course. fitted to the four
corners of the earth, but there were
others who were still enamored of the
city that moves every night. He had
fine time of it renewing old acquaint-
ances and talking over old times.
It was back in I'll that Postmaster
Potter first answered to the lure of
circus life, going with the advertising
department of Stone & Murray's
shows. then one of the best known in
the country. Later he was for
years with the Adam Forepaugh shows
in a similar capacity, and later still
with Barnum & Bailey. His last tour
ON the road before returning to Dan
ielson was with the Wallace shows. All
the time he was looking out for the
publicity end of the business.
For the nearly a quarter of century
of seasons during which he prepared
the people for the coming of the
greatest shows on earth Mr.. Potter
Travelled through every state and into
every town of any size in the union.
He was the advance agent of supreme
happiness for every child under the
flag. Through all of the accessible
territory of the Dominion of Canada
and as far away as Australia, where
he twice visited in his chosen line of
work, he left a trail of multicolored
manner of the wonderful organizations
of which he was the representative.
But like others in many walks of
life the attraction of the occupation
waned in time and today Mr. Potter
contents himself with seeing the shows
that come into this section of New
England every summer. He probably
got as much pleasure at Norwich on
Tuesday any man in the city.

HUGHES CHILDREN ARE
PRIZE WALTERS ON SKATES.
Martin and Helen Win on the Rollers
at Savin Rock - Youngest in the
State.

Martin Hughes of Mansfield Hollow,
who has a family of athleticaIly in
clined girls. is not the only Hughes
who has children with such a natural
bent. for his brothers children, Martin
and Helen Hughes of Ansonia aged l.
and IL years. respectively, bested all
corners recently in prize waltz con-
test on roller skates.
Mr.. Hughes, who is an ardent sup
porter of The Bulletin, is naturally
greatly elated at his nephew's and
n1eces wonderful success. The New
Haven Register under date of July 10
has the following to say:
About 1000 persons, many of them
from Hartford. Bridgeport and An
sonia, witnessed the prize waltzing
contest on roller skates at the Home
stead rink at Savin Rock last night
and no more successful event of it's
kind has ever been held in this state.
There were eighteen couples out for
the silver loving cup offered as a prize
and to the winner of first prize went
a handsome cup and the cha mpionship
title of the state.
This honor was taken by Martin and
Helen Hughes, aged II and II years,
respectively. and their performance
was really a marvel of skill and grace
rollers They received a tremendous
applause. as they glided gracefully
about the floor of the rink and the
judges had no other course than to
name them. as the winners This is the
youngest oouple that ever Competed in
an event of this kind in the state and
all; other entrants were surprised at
the ability. of the youngsters and con-
ceded victory to them early in the
event.
The eighteen couples entered came
from all sections of the state and were
accompanied to the rink by great
crowds of supporters who cheared
their favorites throughout the contest.
The success of the event viii UNI
doubtedly cause other roller Waiting
contests, to be held in Kinks throughout
the state and it is likely that another
meet viii be held at the HON estead
rink before the close of the season.
