* , The Circus Next Tuesday. Next Tuesday is national, state and county election day, and it is going to prove right smart of a circus. The national head liners of note, are Wil son and Hughes. Wilson has been around the circuit before, some four years ago, and made quite a reputa tion as a hare back rider and acrobat of artistic skill, and his performances have been described as specimens of attractively beautiful drawing cards. His performances always been criti cised, but no one i n or out of the profession has been able to suggest how they could be improved upon. And Uncle Sam, the ring master, announces Wilson’s entrance into the ring “as the darling, daring denounces of Wrong, that defies danger in defence of right and principle.” Turning to the audience, with a profound bow, Uncle Sam continues: “This Wilson has never failed to / up t,r u i hoop, over a bar, ag\ .st v. bur: cr any other dangerous obstacle in his path in all the past four years. Crowned heads in Europe have wit nessed his wonderful nerve in all his acts, and while some have censured him, the majority have applauded his skill.” Br-r-r-r-h! Screamed the band. Bang, Bang. Ladies and Gen tlemen,” cries Uncle Sam, as he makes a lunge at the two animals shooting around the ring. “The gentlemen straddling these two slow going steeds, is Charles Hughes. You have never ■seen or heard of him before, and neith er has any one else except those of his own state. You will notice, ladies and gentlemen, that the animal under his right foot is an eichant, the cele brated g. o. p. elephant, under the other is a hull moose. Both of the. c animals are very trickey, trained by Roosevelt, and the motion of the rider is up on one side and down on the other. Mr. Hughes i; a. rival of Wil son, has a good many fault to find of his riding, but, ladies and g ntlc men, he may beat Wilson around the ring but he will never make as fine a record with the general public.” “Now, ladies and gentlemen,” cries Uncle Sam, “you have before you, a double herder, two promising riders, in a whirl-wind act. These performers are known to you, they are Charles Stew art and John Paulk, of your county. Stand back, there, don’t come too near the ring! There’s danger. See how , gracefully Stewart comes around the track, he’s been over the route sev eral times and is confident of success, but in the last performance he failed to clear the bars. Watch, and see how he goes this time. Now, up he goes! Did you notice, ladies and gen tlemen, that he is slightly pigeon toed, but he makes a good jump, and he catches square or. his toes. All good riders catch on their toes.” Now, notice this other rider, and as he is on his first round, to help him out, his name on the program is Sir Jonnie Paulk. He is well made, his head sets square on his shoulders, h e has a good, bright eye, fearless and confident. He is slightly bow legged, and his body is built so solidly in connection with his legs that it is difficult to guess wheth er he carries his heart in his left or right thigh. But he carries it some where, that is sure. He is a new rider but a very popular one, and in his trial performance received IT more points than his competitor, some weeks ago.
