WALTER L. MAINE CIRCUS.

After seeing the big parade and
the many special attractions of the
circus billed to exhibit in Bridgeport
on Tuesday. July II, the Daily Senti-
| mel of waterville, Maine, thus de-
scrfbes some of the attractive fea-
lures:
One of the best acts was that of
Miss Miachusa de- Ortega. wire
cake walking and dancing and added
skipping rope, working all the time
| with nothing in her hands for bal
ance.
Another feature was the tandem
somersault done by two. members of
the Mangean troupe. In this one of
the older men stood on the spring
board with a boy on his shoulders.
onto the board. throwing the pair
into the air where they turned while
locked together, landing gracefully
right side up.
The usual street parade was given
at noon.
The parade appeared on scheduled
time at noon and made good i'm
preston The line of march was
Silver and Main streets and then back
to Pray's field by the way of Center
and Gilman streets.
One noticeable thing about the
parade was the fact that those who
rode horses were provided with good
quality ponchos to protect their
spangles and gorgeous costumes from
the threatening rain. AS the skies
had cleared the ponchos were re-
moved the parade came to the
business section.
An announcer in an autom obiie led
the way and he was followed by
mounted couriers. Eight coal black
horses drew the first band and then
came q cage of parrots and cocka-
toos. Indians in tribal garb were
stationed over a cage CONTAINING q
large lion. a tiger was shown and
there were other lions. More riders
led the gay for the clown band that
made all of the youngsters and many
| of the grownups laugh. Especially
funny was the clown with bass drum.
He had a bass drum but he had no
| drum stick but hands were made
| before drum sticks so NE used his
hand.
As usual the money cage was OF
exceptional interest, calling for the
| usual expression of the Darwinian
idea in the words: Here comes your
brother" OF equal interest was the
miniature circus; very small wagons
drawn by very small horses and
ponies ridden by very small children
in brilliant colors. There were bears
| and more riders. Then came the
| representation of farmers. Another
cage of animals contained a tapir
and foxes. The wild West" was
represented by cowboys and cowgiris.
There were other animals including
lions, a deer and bears. A colorod
band, seven elephants and the CALI
ope brought UP the rear.

begins on Saturday afternoon and
continues every afternoon of next
week banners & Gillette and Har-
ry A. Burnes, real estate auctioneers

bins, Inc, a well known concern,
about eight years ago. 1t was ex-
tensively developed with good streets,
sidewalks, and other improvements,
and a brown stone retaining wall
along the Housatonic river was con-
structed. Rivercliff for years was a
popular suburb with the best kind OF
homeseekers, and more than a score
of homes were erected. Last year the
gage and the present auction sale is
an effort on their part to Hquidate
the remainder of the property.
The new Washington bridge over

the value of land at Riverclif, and
the new concrete highway now beins
completed through Devon from the
Washington bridge entrance to the
Milford turnpike enhances it still

ments made recently, and the sale
should be one OF the biggest of the
year.
This will be the first sale which
banners g. Gillette and Harry A
| Burnes have conducted in Bridgep port
since their return from Miami, Flor

| of land last winter. DR.. banners

and whether the government, act
ing under a sense Of horror al GER
tain murders, should declare the
treaty at an end and step in and
