Stunts and Side Shows: De- Athletic g light Large Audience, A circus In the dead of winter is some novelty, but that is what Willi- mantic had Tuesday night, and it was “some” circus. The place was the lo- cal Y. M. C. A. building, and the gym floor was in the form of a ring, with low sides, an entrance tent at one end and an illuminated platform at the other. Seats were arranged on the main floor and in the gallery, and standing room was at a premium. In the main lobby were the side shows, with a colored gentleman at the desk dispensing the ever-present peanuts and also real pink lemonade, “with and without.” There was a Bearded Lady, Redheaded Coon, Fati- ma, Slamdow the strong man, African Dodger, irish Bat in a cage, and other strange novelties imported for the oc- casion, as the barker put it. There was a real barker, and a policeman, and clowns, and a Roman chariot race, and all the concomitants of the real article in the circus line. Then there was a picture gallery up- stairs, which certainly reflected great ¥. E.
