LA TENA'S CIRCUS.
Will Show in Belfast June 18th.

Will Show in Belfast june 18th.
La Tena's big three ring Wild Annual Circus
will be in Belfast June 18th. Street parade at
10. 80 q. M, and performances afternoon and
evening. The Penny Press of Middletown,
Conn.,. says of this circus:
La Tenas circus was presented before a
large audience on the Pameacha grounds
yesterday afternoon and before a crowded
house" last night The show was all that was
claimed by the management and the advance
notices in reference to the trained animals
were if anything too modest La Tena pres
ents wild animal circus mostly, with other
very good features.
The best thing in the show is Captain Wesley
and his troop Of seals. This act made a tre-
mendous, hit at the New York Hippodrome, and
what was good enough for New York was
also good enough for Middletown. The per.
formance of the seals must be seen to be
animals were most willing entertainers. They
actually fought to outdo each other. The
seals played musical instruments, walked
tight rope and juggled. There was clown
seal who kept the audience convulscd with
laughter as he attempted to steal meat. 1t
seems almost incredible that these animals can
be taught the tricks they do SO easily and
gracefully. Another novelty act was Millie
Eugene and her trained lions. They performed
in a great cage with two large dogs and the
animals got along beautifully together. Others
deserving of mention are Herman Griggs and
Olga Reed, equestrians: Captain Herman and
his troop of bears; the Howell family. wire
artists, and the Silverlakes, contortonsts.
The Siverlake children are most supple, in fact
they seem to be made of rubber La Tenas
circus has number of well groomed horses
which are trained to do some wonderful stunts.
The military maneuvers of the ponies was a
real treat.
Among the side attrac tions were a rube,
who busted himself escor ting women to their
seats, a parade of uffragettes, juvenile
policeman and several clowns. La Tena has a
splendid circus and the Gro owds of yesterday.

ed us for four lJng years we desire to depart
with it.
Some wish to go to college.
Some to practice domestic science.
Still others, to take agricultural work.
However, l must not forget that it is my
duty tonight to give brief history of the class
before you.
During our first year of school work, 46 of us
existed as freshmen, state of being beyond
description. At the organization of our class.
the following officers were elected: Roy Ell
lingwood, president; Ida Carleton, vice presi-
dent; Airline Wadlin, secretary; Margaret
Craig, treasurer.
1t was in the winter of this year that we had
the privilege of hearing Prof. Donald B. Nc
Millan's lecture, with Peary in the Arctic. -
Prof. Mcmillan, who accompanied Commander
Peary in his dash for the pole, was college
classmate of Mr.. Proctor, hence his lecture
had additional interest for US.
At the beginning of our Sophomore year
our ranks looked somewhat thin, only q being
present. Much to our regret, Ellingwood was
among those who were obliged to leave and
Alton johnson was chosen to take his place, in
which position he has served the class most
efficiently. Those remaining endeavored to
supply by additional interest what we lacked
in numbers.
That the school might have the benefit of a
baseball team and tennis court, our athletic as
sociation was formed in the spring of this
year. All the pupils were aroused by the
spirit of the enterprise and with two such
promoters a Steve Clement and Ansel Pack
ard to put their shoulders to the wheel, how
could it be otherwise than success.
Another feature Of our school life has been
the annual Halloween parties, the first three
given by our treasurer. That witches were
let loose ON those ewes 10 to put it mildly. The
last one Of these memorable events was held
ct the home Of our secretary. Promptly at seven
o'clock We started on foot from the corner Of
