With but one month remaining
before the famous Barnone Sc Bail
EN- circus makes its annual appear
ance at the Y. NJ. @. A., the per-
formers who will endeavor to make
this years offering a delectab.e
morsel to appease the appetites of
the most fastidious are spending
many hours in conscientious reheAI-
! sails for the event which is without
a doubt the biggest attraction of
the yeas on the crowded program of
"Y" activities.
Physical Director Schuyler C. Pew
has been quietly but effectively
coaching the men and boys who will
present acts that fascinate, tn iii
n amuse alike. Mrs. Margaret
Malcolm, physical directress of the
women's Classes, is working up three
acts among the women who take
advantage of the "Y'' every Wed
nesday.
Various committees are at work
planning for the ticket sale, the
erection of seats to handle the
huge crowd that annually packs The
spacious gymnasium and for the
sales of refreshments and novelties
the performance.
The dates selected for the circus
Dhis year are Friday night, May 4
and Saturday afternoon and night,
May 5. The special children's matt
nee has proven so popular in form
er years that 1t has been definitely
decided to continue with 1t this year.
There are two spectacular electrical
| acts this year, special lighting eff
fects being made necessary which
consume considerable time in pre-
pairing. AS these two acts could not
bring the desired results at the mat
inee performance, they will be elm
mated and In their place two addi-
tfonal clown acts will be introduced.
The kiddies will be Just as well
pleased, no doubt, for what is q cir
Gus without plenty of clowns. The
"Y" in the past has boosted OF the
gloom ~dispellfng ~propensities of its
clowns and this year will be no K
ception to the general rules.
Clowns will be out in full force at
all shows with "Val" Afflerbach
and .'Bub" Jensen holding the stel-
lar positions of principal ~dispellers
the blues and mirth producers. These
two comedians, veterans of the saw
dust ring Of many years past, have a
whole batch of new stunts but their
nature will not be divulged in ad-
vance Of the show.
The appearance OF the Barnone
Sc Bailem circus at the "Y" has be-
come an annual classic and hun
dreds of persons look forward each
| year to this event with as much In
terest and anticipation as they do to
such days as Christmas. Thanksgiv-
ing, Fourth OF July. etc. The first
"B. g. B." presentation was given
shortly after the founding OF the

be completed without further delay.

will be compelled to move their
fences and ether distractions to
conform with Il e city maps.
The David street improvement
was after it had a fairly good start
stopped on application of a number
of property owners, who protested
that the curb line was infringing
in the street. The infringement was
on the southerly side of David
street and between Pine avenue and
F'eltus street. The matter was
taken up with the council and the
contractor was advised to halt the
work. Nothing definite was decided
until several weeks ago when the
contractor was asked to go ahead
with the work of the street.
A petition from the majority of
the property owners in the section
affected was presented to the coan-
ell. but carried little weight. The
demand of the minority of the tax
payers affected, was according to
the council, right, and the properly
lines will have to be moved In.
A section of sidewalk already laid,
a piece approximately $50 feet, viii
have to be torn up. This secti1n
was under way when the complaint
was lodged with the council men,
bers.
Some OF the property owners who
fought hard to induce the council
to let the curb stand ac it has been
for the past fifty years, are recon-
ciled to the will of the council, and
are ready to proceed with moving
the fences and porches OFF the side
walk.
The material to proceed with the
work has been put in place on the
street and on Monday 1t is under
stood that Contractor Sophus Grei-
sen, of Fords, will begin with a
large force of men.

q Circus at The Y.M.C.A.
lay and This Year

held one year, a vaudeville show be-
ing arranged instead. The substi-
tute was enjoyed, but it did not take
the place of the circus, n the de-
mand for the return of the circus
was so great that it was again pre-
scented the following year and has
apparently come to stay.
All circus performances are per-
haps, in the last analysis, almost the
same, year in and year out. There
are the acrobats, the the strong men,
the fancy drills and marches, the
thrillers and the clowns. But some-
thing about a circus seems to get
under the skim and draws the same
audience, both young and old (but
they are all young when they get
seated in the bleachers, start eating
peanuts and hear the shrill squeaks
of toy balloons. The committee on
seating arrangements is trying to
figure out some way this year
whereby the seating capacity Of the
gymnasium can be Increased.

 The late Henry F.

Their trainings were generally held on the Green In the center Of the town.

From this, fl may be inferred that both the uniform and the name date hack to that time.

In some instances, the name Washington may have been from General Wash ington and not from locality. The Hon. Frederick T. Stanley of New Britain was for a time prior 10 1923. member of the New Haven Grays. leading military organization.
 "The first Monday in May. 1917, is interesting as tho date of the first public parade of the New Haven Grays. On the 4th Of July, in the same year they formed part of the escort Of President Monroe on his way to this city :. ... Fort Sumter fell on the i4th day of April. 1861. and on the 10th day of May, the Second Reg iment of Connecticut Volunteers fully armed and equipped paraded on the lower Green, departing for the seat | of war. Atthe right of the line stood | the New Haven Grays in full ranks and in their company uniform and in | front rode Col Alfred H. Terry in command of the regiment" (Blake's Chronicles of the New Haven Green, pp. 1Ss and 145.)
 New Britain was no less patriotic than New Haven and was more prompt in action. Our New Britain Grays were disbanded so early that they could not appear in full ranks, and in their company uniform at the patriotic service held in the Center church on Sunday evening, April 14, 1861, only a few hours after Fort Sumter was evacuated.
