sauntered down as matter OF curiosity;
Others went because they expected to be
entertained. but it's a rather safe shot
that fair half OF those who went at all
were skeptical of the whole affair. Pres
emily their curiosity was to be undone,
for Hall & Latlip were there to open the
doors on the finest outdoor carnival ever
held in Barre.

ordinary one-ring circus is well sus-
tanned. for the rank and file Of small
shows must bow before the diversity of
entertainers presented by Hall q Latlip.
