To compensate for this omission the band of the show gave a concert on l the green at the Sherman school. The old time pony circus. All of the properties are brand new and every thing about the show is first class. l The performance was well received here and the general opinion is that it was the best show that has ever visited the town. The trained horses were perfect in their parts and the acrobatic and athletic part of the show was beyond criticism. The show put up at the Hotel Fairfield and the house was filled. The show left early this morning for New Canaan where they will perform to-day. For the fourth time since last Sep tember burglars visited the home of E. R. Gilson on Spring street last night.

Gilson advertises that he is tired of these visits and will pune ture the hide of any man he finds about his premises after dark.
