 vile Residents.
 A si2eable sum was poured into the office of the plainviIle Public Health Nursing association last night 1 when more than 500 persons were present at the opening night of the Brock-Barnes post, American Le- slon, circus week program. Every one was in spending mood and although there was some disa ppoiut- ment manifested over the failure of the advertised loop-the-loop bicycle rider to do his stuff" this was quickly forgotten in the midst of the spirit of ood-fellowship which pervaded the grounds.
 A large delegation of New Brit ain lcgionnaircs attended the circus ard brought with them their uni formed band, which was the chief point of interest in small but lively street parade which preceded the formal opening of the weeks pro- gram.
 The bicycle rider who was to pro- vide the real thrills of the night re- fused to go on when he saw that the runway was wet and slippery The Brock-l5arnes post this morning apologized for this oversight and added that this event would surely be a part of every nights entertain ment, especially since the runway has been covered with canvas and will be so covered every minute that the circus is not in progress.
 The circus will continue through out the week. every night being featured by something new in addi- ttion to the regular features, and 1t 1 is hoped that the Nursing associa- ton will very materially benefit by the large share of the receipts which will be nightly turned over in its interests.
