Ten-Year-Old Press Agent
Modestly Describes Worlds
Greatest Circus"

The Juvenile population of Middle
town was thrown into a state of pleas
urable excitement to-day by the an
nouncement that the World Famous
George & Kern Circus" would give
two performances in town tomorrow
sit the weather permits.
The glad tidings were spread by
Bill" Moore, the hustling press agent
OF the show, who with the customary
reluctance CD of his profession ad-
mitted that when il came to present.
ing a real-sure- enough circus, his ag-
gregation of stars had Ringing Broth
ers hopelessly outclassed. 1t required
the purchase of couple of tickets and
considerable persuasion to get "Bill'
TO outline some of the glories of the
show, but he finally relented and told
an awe-stricken crowd of listeners
enough to keep them awake all night.
Besides the big show there will be
wild west exhibition in which dash
ing cowboys will "annihilate" bands
of marauding Indians TO the music of
Winchester rifles" and automatic
rcvolvers." AS if this were not enough
for the ordinary mortal, "BilP' prom
ises a side show in which the beard
ed lady" the "man-eating savage"
the living skeleton" and the fiat
man" will permit the astounded pub
lie to gaze upon them for a trif1ing
expenditure. To cap the climax. a
third tent will be pitched for the sole
purpose of dispensing lemonade.
Think of it, gentlemen" exclaimed
the enthusiastic press agent, "a show
that carries a tent for lemonade only
and YOU gain some idea of the stu
pendous magnitude of the great I'M
dcrtaking carried on by the owners
ana their associates" all of whom
arc young men of an average age of
about 10 years.
Considering the class of show the
prices are ridiculously low, being two
cents for the main show and lemon
ade tent and one cent for the other
attractions.

MANY AT OPENING
OF FAIRGROUNDS
More Than 1000 Children Reg
istered Despite Dripping
Skies

Dripping skies and soggy ground
failed to dampen the enthusiasm of
hundreds of Steelton youngsters this
morning and the new system OF play
grounds was opened on schedule time
with scores of cheerful. laughing
children waiting for the signal to start
their summers recreation.
c. S. Davis, chairman of the Parks
and Fairgrounds Commission. who
was largely instrumental in obtaining.
the Fairgrounds for the borough, in
company with Fairgrounds Super
visor James r. Irwin, made the rounds
OF the various Fairgrounds TO issue
their final instructions and see that
the apparatus was properly placed.
Fairgrounds were opened at the
West Side school house, the Hygienic
school, East End, Fothergll school
and at the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany's plot, Front street and Angle
alley. This latter playground is in
charge of James McGovern for the
time being, pending the appointment
OF permanent instructor to take the
place of the supervisor employed but
who declined the place.
Mr.. McGovern, who is one of Steel
tens most popular athletes, will have
charge of the Cottage Hill athletic
field. the opening of which will be de-
layed until he is relieved at the Steel
Company plot. The Cottage Hill field
will be for the larger boys who will
not be permitted to interfere with the
sn aller tots on the various play
grounds.
On account of the wet weather
much of the apparatus will have to be
strengthened on the various plots.
Some of the swing standards have
been worked loose in their sockets of
earth and sway as the children swing.
There is no danger, however. of any
accidents and the posts will be tamped
tighter just as soon as the weather
permits.
The instructors were busy to-day
taking the registration of children
who reported at the various play
grounds and obtaining data about
each. At noon Supervisor Irwin esti-
mated that to-day's attendance was
about 1000 children.

The Robert Grayce Construction
Company officials stated at noon to.
day that they could not estimate their
loss to the network of trestles which
have been erected over the water at
the new Cumberland Valley Railroad
/ bridge, now nearing completion, but
expect that it will be several hundred
dollars. Work will be DELAYED for
several days until the river recedes
and the temporary structures are re-
paired. Driftwood and large logs
caused most of the damage, tearing
away some of the trestles. Owing to
! flood warnings sent out local manu-
featuring plants had little trouble, and
tho water did not reach flood stage
although preparations had been made
for the river to pass this level.
Mr.. Domain said to-day that ths
local showers over the State NAV
cause slight rises at a few points
where the streams are narrow, but the
main river will not be effected unless
there is at least three inches of rain
