THE MOTLEY CIRCUS.
It Surpassed In Grandeur
Anything oi Its Class,
Within the Past »
Century.
It was a raw, blustering day that
greeted the A utley Circus people,
but it had no effect upon their ener
gies in making the show one of the
grandest events that this section has
ever seen. Eatou Stone’s training
ring was filled to overflowing with
the cream of Nutley Society, as well
as members of New York’s “400.”
All the newspaper men for miles
around were there.
Eobinson’s famous circua band
occupied a prominent place in the
balcony, The interior was profusely
decorated with flags and bunting,
while fifty electric lamps cast a
bright light upon the sawdntt ring
below.
At precisely e;ght o’clock the band
struck up, and then came the Grand
Entree, by lady and gentleatm riders
of Nutley, as fnllnws • M." Xr A.
Ward, Miss M. S^rosburgh, Mrs.
A. H. Larkin, Miss L. B. Valentine,
and Messrs. Guy A. Ward, W. S.
Conduit, T. Wilkie Sattcrthwaite, A.
G. Badger.
Second on the programme came
the acrobats, in ground and lofty
tumbling, from the Orange and New
York Athletic Clabs, and the Na
tional Turnverin from Newark.
The bareback riding and trapeze
acts, by C. 0. Smith called forth
much applause from the audience,
while the antic3 and funny sayings
of Mr. Fred Bunnells, clown, kept
the merriment going.
E. Loyal Field, with his wonder
troupe of trained animals, which
consisted of a monkey and a bear,
made a hit. The intelligence of
these animals was remarkable, and
they performed many no* cl feats,
for animals. • , 4
Master A. Stirratt, in his pony
bin die act, was applauded continn
iy, itis horsemanship was excel
led, and'- excited the envy of bis
|oung trends who were present.
. Rice and Grant, in their hanc
baUneirjSr and acrobatic feats, bore
favorable comment.
The introduction into the ring ot
Eaton Stone, the famous rider and
trainee, by Press Agent H C, Uun
nel, created a stir. Mr Stone made
a .short speech, in which he said that
he was glad to appear at a benefit
foi so good a cause ; thai he would
like very much to take an active part,
but owing to the fact that he could
not find a horse to suit him, and his
ripe old age. preventing him, the
audience would have to forebear
Y
with him.
Messrs. Ward and Berg, clowns,
then entertained the audilQXJgjna.
short sketch, entitled -“The Barbeh*
The Roman Ladder Act, by Messrs.
H. C. Marshall, L. M. Hoffman, A.
S. Hoffman. R. E. Boiler, and J. E.
Doldt, was exceptionally fine. The
feats performed by these gentlemen
are unsurpassed by any of their class
in the business.
Prof. M. J Donovan, Champion
Middle Weight of the United States,
and his pupil, Mr. Alpheus Geer, of
Nutley, gave an exhibition of scien
tific boxing in a friendly bout of
of three rounds.
The bareback riding of Mr. A. G.
Badger, who appeared yi public for
the first time, was worthy of a pro
fessional debut; and Mr. Chas. Lovi
bond, as clown, gave several of the
citizens of Nutley a jab in a joking
way.
Mr. B. Stoll, in his acts with the
rings, was well received. ‘
Annie Oakley, the queen of women
rifle shots, gave a wonderful exhibi
tion of her skill as a marksman. This
lady has shot before the crowned
heads of Europe, and for several
years with Buffalo Bill.
S. Marsh Young, in his tandem
act with his horses Magic and Monte
Carlo, made a hit. 1
•-*---*
The boxingJil^B^pb, "Big
Frank,” was iiffroduced by Mr Tom
Tull&^fS engaged in a three-round
bout. This was the novel feature of
the show, and it was remarkable to
see to what degree animals can be
trained. This kangaroo* went at it
in true pugilistic .style.
The dashing Equestrian, Mr. Rbt.
Whittaker, a rider of repute, in
daring act3 of horsemanship,' drew
forth abundance of applause.
The perfoimance concluded with
the exposure of circus riding. Mr.
Conduit volunteered to be the vic
tim. A harness was fastened around
his waist and under his arms, to
which a rope was attached. This
rope passed through a block fastened
to a swinging beam overhead, and
the other end held by one of she
clowns The rider then mounts and
starts around the ring, .the beam
overhead revolving also,.the rope is
hauled taught until the'rider’s feet
barely touch the horse's back, then
lie begins some of the most jantastie
antics ever witnessed. In this case,
however, the beam overhead came in
contact with a rope and stopped
short. Mr. Conduit shot from the
back of his tio»se into space, falliug
back intQ. the., ling, but he was
luckily not injured. This cbndl tided
