NOT even have the choice between a

by experience of the air conditions ahead
of him. but he cannot see them. and the
provisions for informing him concern

little men creeping through great days
The founders Of our country were
individualists. Their thinking was spa
cious and broadminded. like their CO.

often had an amplitude and dignity that
we miss In the petty. fussy architecture
of a later day. SO the intellectual con-

much wider than those which followed.

jefferson was founding the University

the entire faculty OF the University OF
Geneva. when Commodore Perry was
knocking at the gates of Japan-then
America saw herself definitely as part
of the human family and the fathers
were moved by a decent respect for the
opinions of mankind.
But when the civil war came our
energies we're absorbed, hence we were
compelled to ignore most of Europe and
all Of Asia and concentrate our entire
strength on the desperate struggle in

Glorious Circus Days
BoyhOOd Memories Of Wonders In a

To THE New YORK HERALD: What
splendors are recalled by your editorial

recently arrived from Australia, rode
with this aggregation. as did Martinho
Lowandie and a Juvenile rider called

1t was not long before performers
even more wonderful came to delight US.
Louise Dockrill and Annie Carroll rode
with Howe's London Circus. Frank Mel

the D. w. Stone Circus. an organization
Of somewhat brief existence. with Robert

not think so. Among the famous clowns

youngsters and grownups.
An attraction that frequently played
through this section of New England IN
the early '70s was the Ill fated John II.
Murray Circus. Remarkable performing g
horses and ponies trained by Murray
himself were usually a feature of this
show. He was the first to present 10
circus audiences the thrilling afterpiece
about Dick Turpin's ride to York, in
which one of Murray's favorite horses
played the leading role of Black Bess.
Murray always presented a company
of excellent artists. but many msfor-
tunes followed and overlook him, and
finally he lost his entire circus property

OF bettering in the tropics the somewhat
strained condition of his affairs MUIR

sharing watery grave with his horses

House Numbers.
Irregularity Of Early New York
City Identification Practice.

to John A. Scott in reference to early
house numbers there was no contention
regarding the fact that the directory
of 1886 contained lists OF numbered
domiciles.
The interesting point was that houses
in Mott and Bayard streets were not
numbered until 1906 and that there
were other thoroughfares which for
some reason were not favored with num-
bers until a later period In the mean
time other methods of designating resi-
dences had to be employed.
