Circus Night
 AtBoytS Club
 Is Big Event
By BERT COLLIER

Yesterday was circus day. There were no fiaring posters announcing the fact for weeks in advance, no Hashily dressed press agent besieging the newspapers, for this circuus was composed of local talent.
 In the large gymnasium of the Birming- ham Boys Club the lads put on the cir GUS. Not a detail was left to the inag- nation of the onlooker. As one entered the building he paused to view the me- nagerie, which consisted of large black bear. Passing on to the seats. the stri- dent call of the peanut vendor attracted attention, and the savory odor of his wares furthered the impression that one was under the big top.
 In answer to the whistle of the ring master, the Bumanickel band struck up, was on- First was general explosion of clowns. Even the female vamp" was there, with the too little skirt and too much paint.
 Then the acrobats had their turn. The startling feats of the boys weer inter spersed with the parodies of the ever present clowns. There were also boxing matches followed by an exhibition of the Boy Scouts in wall-climbing and first aid.
 A little wild west. with bucking "broncho," came next. The broncho was Shetland pony.
 In spite of the fact that there was no reward of $10 for the man who could ride him, no one could.
 Best of all, and something not seen in every circus, was an old-fashioned pie eating contest. It was the pie contest that was needed to bring the evening to fitting climax. It was with shouts of laughter that the audience watched the boys choking and gasping. And under heath the table, a little dog gathered in the crumbs which fell by the wayside.
 And then, bringing home to the mothers that it was her little boy out there who was so successful acting as a performer in a circus, was the long, melancholy call of taps by the bugler.
