TO GUARD AGAINST
LAYING OF SWITCH
Springfield Officials Prepared
to Fight Morris County
Traction Company.

Believing the Morri County Trac-
ton Company may attempt to con-
struct a switch in Main street.
Springfield, at night, the Springfield
Township Committee, which forbids
a switch in the thoroughfare, will
guard against such an attempt on the
part of the trolley people. The trac-
ton company and the municipality
are at odds over the work, and, de-
spite the action of the governing
body in refusing permission for the
laying of a switch, the company has
placed the necessary trackage at the
point.
The railway company seeks to have
a switch installed in Main street, be-
tween the Millburn line and Morris
avenue, so as not to necessitate the
laying of double tracks. The COM
pany maintains the street is not
sufficiently wide to enable the laying
of double tracks, and that the pur-
chase of much valuable property
would be necessary in order to carry
out the wishes of the township off,
Gals.

damages brought against DR.. Victor

THOUSANDS VIEW
CIRCUS, BACK WITH
NEW ATTRACTIONS
Children in Arms and Children
With Boards Pleased Alike
by Wonders.

Thousands of children, some in the
arms of their parents, others, with
gray boards and hair to match, car
rying their childrens children, at
tended yesterdays performances of
Barnum and Bailey's circus on the
grounds at South Orange avenue and
South Twelfth street. The circus
probably never played to larger
crowds in Newark than yesterday af-
ternoon and last night. and with good
reason, too. One could become al
most as enthusiastic and bombastic
as the late Tody Hamilton himself
in describing the wonders of this
years edition of 1.-THE greatest show
on earth"
The popular notion that lone cir
Gus is just the same as another" GER
tainly is dispelled by the Barnum and
Bailey show. The management has
reached forth into every part of the
world of tanbark and canvas to OBJ
tain features. Performances will be
given this afternoon and tonight.
From the time THE Wizard Prince
of Arabia" gorgeous Oriental spec
tacle, is placed on the monster stage
to open the performance until the
dare devil aerial acrobats have per-
formed their last feat there is plenty
to keep even the least impressionable
person thrilled and entertained There
are four rings and they are never un-
occupied in the two hours and half
which the performance consumes.
A baseball game played by three
elephants Is a marvel of animal train
ing Baseball fans present at the
show rose to their feet and applauded
the animals for their interpretations
OF the national pastime. When the
elephant catcher picked up wild
throw with his trunk and walked to
the pitchers box to whisper" into
the ear of the cratic elephant pitcher
the applause was terrific. The steady
ing process did not proceed, however
and a relief pitcher was substituted.
Then the elephant batter walloped out
a homer, ending his journey with a
Ty Cobb slide into the home plate
that is worth going a long way to
see. This slide is not the personifica-
ton of grace, but there Is no mistak-
ing that the elephant arrives home.
Bird Millman, 1.-The daring queen of
the wire,' is a performer with Whom
Newarkers are acquainted. Miss
Millman lives up to the first part of
her adopted name when she does
tango on the tight wire. Laughing
and prancing with reckless abandon
Bird" won hundreds of additional
admirers by her performance. Her
assistants are also masters of the
art of performing on the wire, and
the act, staged in the centre ring,
scores a great hit.
In what the program describes as
display No. 81 collection of Won
derful Statue" horse is shown. These
highly bred animals, spotlessly white,
stand in many beautiful poses. The
tableaux lasts for several minutes at
time, during which the horses move
not a fraction of an inch.

pare new maps and the improvement

fit.

for MOntclair Floral Show

Thomas w. Stephens, president of
the Bank of Montclair, has donated a
prize cup to the Garden Society of
Montclair for the best collection of
ANIMALS shown at it's exhibition on
September II. The society has issued
an invitation to all interested to COM
pete.
The society invites every one in
Montclair and the neighboring towns
to compete. Any flower from seed
planted in 1914 will be considered an
annual, and as many sorts may be
shown as desired, but in making the
exhibits the classes used in the Jarvie
Garden contest will prevail, which is
believed to be fairer than limiting the
number of sorts shown.
