Wilmington on Friday, May 18th.
The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth is the powerful mag
net that will draw many of he people
from Smyrna, Clayton and vicinity on
Friday, May 18th, to Wilmington.
The railroads will make special low
rat and excursions will be run. A
glance at the list of features Offered
by this circus discloses many wonders.
Jupiter, the Balloon Horse" &" takes
"a trip to the dome of the tent and
comes back to earth amid a shower
Ct fireworks. Desperate, a rash
Frenchman, dives from the top of the
arena to the ground, lighting on his
bare chest. Charlie the First,
chimpanzee, presents y greater bicycle
and acrobatic act than any man ever
achieved. A company of fifty clowns
creates incessant laughter. A mem
ber of the Siegrist-Silbon family of
aerialists, blindfolds his eyes and
leaps across the entire width of the
arena, turns a double somersaugt on
the way and catches the wrists of a
comrade who hangs head down from
a flying swing. The Abreu family
of Mexican gymnasts introduce a
great novelty act. Berzac's horses
present an amusing play, the scene
of which is laid in a country inn.
One horse plays landlord and another
is the town constable. The other
horses make very amusing boarders.
Paula Peters monkey and dog circus
holds the attention of the audience
for half an hour. A mastiff villain
sets fire to the hero's cottage. The
dog fire department responds. The
captain climbs a ladder and rescues
Miss Poodle and an ape detective
puts the villain in a cell. Other
notables are the Konyot family of
riders, the LaFaille fs smily of world s
strongest men. Winston equestrian
seals, the Dollar family of acrobats,
and Victoria Codona, the greatest
high wire artist in the world. In the
menagerie are to be found l 200 rare
wild animals. Among them is Bum
beeno, the only giraffe ever born or
exhibited in America. 1t is but three
feet high and worth it's weight in
gold. There are forty elephants,
700 horses, and !, ,28O employees. The
show travels on a train over a mile
in length. The forenoon parade is
the most gorgeous affair ever offered
by circus. 1t cost 81, 900, 600.

ROBBED OF $3.50 AND WATCH
DoverShoe Dealer Victim of Swindlers
On Train to Philadelphia.

On Train to Philadelphia.
Charles N. Decktor, a Dover shoe
merchant is the man alleged to have
been robbed of $3.50 and a solid gold
watch by two swindlers who a few
days ago fieeced Decktor while on the
train on his way to Philadelphia. So
reticent was Mr.. Decktor that few
Dover people were aware of any
thing of the kind until they read it
in the papers. Decktor grieved
sorely over his loss and hopes for the
arrest of the men, if not the restor-
alton of his property.
