HUNTS CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN

Hunts Circus gave it's opening
1928 exhibition at Rising Sun on
Saturday evening, good sized
crowd being under the big top to see
the performance. The show was de-
layed in reaching here, and did not
get in in time for expected parade
and afternoon performance, much to
the disappointment of host Of little
kiddies, and larger folks.
The manager stated they had
many trials and tribulations in try
ing to bring order and system into a
newly assembled organization, but
the exhibition given was a good one,
despite the many drawbacks, and
went off smoothly. The show car
ries a number of good attractions,
the acts being equally as good as
many of those presented by much
larger circuises. The trapeze art
lists, acrobats and equestrians were
all especially fine, and their acts
much enjoyed, as well as the clever
acts of the monkeys, elephant and
ponies.
The show left here Sunday after
noon for Avondale, Pa, and is head
ing North. The home town OF the
proprietor is Pikesville, Md.

two stables and cottage at the
Havre de Grace racetrack Thursday
night, of last week, and two horses
suffreed broken legs and had to be
shot. The fire was discovered about
7:45 and the blaze had evidently
gained considerable headway before
the alarm was given. Susquehanna
Hose Company, of Havre de Grace
responded to the alarm and sum-
moned Perryville, North East, Port
Deposit, Aberdeen and Bel Air COM
panies to their assistance. Water
was pumped from the bay, being
relayed by the different engines until
it reached the blaze.
The horses that perished in the
fire were: Adriane G. and Scipio,

Arno and Hijo, owned by H. G. Cox;
Inlaid, Goulash and Ell Canoe, owned
by VIM. H. Denham; Shasta Klan,
owned by James McNally; Lady

fall and Edwin B., owned by Jerry
Murphy.
The stables and cottages were
valued at between $4,000 and $780,
900. No estimates could be placed
on the horses killed, but conserva-
tive figures ranged from $4,000 to
$4,000. The most valuable animal
destroyed was Shasta Klan.

ing admirably.
instead of receiving mail and
newspapers shortly after a. M, as
we have for years, the railroad COM
pany, considering this hour entirely
100 early for our business men, has
decided 9:17 a. m. is much better
hour for us, as there is no particular
hurry, and the rural carriers can get
started out on their routes along
about 11:00, instead of o'clock.
A letter mailed here in the morn
ing will reach Philadelphia along
about noon by this new, and social
ed improved arrangement, and IL II
is intended for Baltimore it will get
there by night, maybe.

vile, traveller can arrive in Phila-
delphia before the noon hour, but
if he leaves in the afternoon he gets
to the City of Brotherly Love at
1850 that night, which is the same
day, at any rate, and is something to
be thankful for, we suppose.
The new schedule is wonderful
one and we wish it's maker lived
along the Octoraro Branch in order
that he might enjoy it's benefits!
