The largest crowd that ever gather
ed at the Macomber playground was
on hand to witness the Children's Cir
Gus which was held there all day Sat-
urday. The children put on a fine

cording to schedule 50 that the day
was most enjoyable for both the pa
rents and the children.
Promptly at $50 o'clock the side
show opened with the many freaks on
exhibition in several of the tents
about the grounds. The wild man
and the dwarf were especially inter-
esting and curious crowds gathered
about them all day. One thing that
gave those in "the know" a good
laugh was an incident that occurred
in connection with getting the wild
man into his tent. Clad in his Wild

with blanket at the time. However
to get into the ten he was obliged
to take the blanket off and as he did

had been watching proceedings with
curiosity, saw him. One look was
sufficient and they turned and ran,
fearing that the horrible beast would
devour them.
The members of the side show fam

OILS; thin man, Herbert Getaway; wild
man, Bernard Fabrizi: double head

part Of the morning and the rest Of
