back, drinking in the myriad of colors
and glittering tinsel of the banners,
flags and costumes "fend the tons of
goldleaf paint that decorated the vans
and cages.
It was one of the longest parades
that has ever meandered over the
pavements in Harrisburg, and many
thought the best. It started with a
score of cavaliers and cavalieresses
tooting fanfares on trumpets and
wound up with the steam piano toot
ing "Circus Day," while 257 kiddies in
knickerbockers trailed along behind
the calliope, having followed the pa
rade for blocks and blocks. The genius
at the calliope was a master of the
touch system.
Music. Camels. Elephants
Blase musicians ripped out popular
airs as they perched a-top the gilded
band wagons encircled with crested
banners, and there was one company
of players, bass drum and all, mounted
on horses that didn't seem to mind
their tooting at all--real.
Then came sixteen ships of the
desert, camels, slouching along four
abreast, drawing the biggest of scores
of tableau barges. Following closely
this flotilla shuffled leathery hided ele
phants, thirty strong, and led by a
monster pachyderm that all the young
sters were certain must be "Big Bingo. "
The only time the elephants stopped,
looked, sniffed and listened was when
they passed a corner where a fruit
dealer was roasting peanuts and the
tempting odor floated in the ambient
breeze. Also not to be overlooked
were the clowns, with their motley
makeups and grotesque musical in
struments. All in all, it was a circus
procession that will be remembered
for many a long day.
The Rlngllng circus arrived In the
city bright and early this morning,
coming on eighty-nine cars, divided
Into four train sections. It is un
doubtedly the largest traveling amuse
ment organization, and local railroad
men say that its equipment is much
larger and heavier than when it visited
this city the last time.
The new, fairyland spectacle, "Cin
derella," is partly responsible for the
increased size of the circus this year,
for it is said that nothing so stupen
dous as this production has ever been
presented under canvas before. One
entire train is required to carry special
scenery and mechanical and lighting
effects, and *he 4,500 costumes used
! in the various scene? of this wonder
[ ful pantomime play. More than 1,300
i characters appear in the production,
!as well as several hundred horses, a
special orchestra of 90 pieces and a
[ wonderful ballet of 300 girls. The
! spectacle Is presented in the main
tent on a specially constructed stage
and is the opening feature of each
performance.
When the gates to the big show
were thrown open at 1 o'clock It was
! estimated that a crowd of several
thousand had already gathered on the
show grounds, and every car and con
j veyance in the city seemed to he
headed toward the circus, loaded with
humanity.
| Another performance will be pre
sented to-night, beginning at 8 o'clock,
the doors of the main tents opening an
hour earlier to allow time for patrons
to visit the big Ringling menagerie,
which this se.ixon houses 108 cages of
wild animals, a family of giraffes, 41
elephants and a caravan of 35 camels.
Trains Held l'p
Circus trains en route from Altoona
to Harrisburg did not arrive in this
city on schedule time. There were
short delays on the Middle division,
and on the arrival here the horse
[train, which is alwaje the first to be
unloaded, came In second. Passenger
traffic interfered with getting the sec
ond train on the sidings at Paxton
street before 5 o'clock this morning,
and the unloading of the trains was
not completed until noon to-day. This
caused a delay in the parade.

DEAF MUTE HAD
BEST OF ALIBIS
One of Pair Charged With
Stealing Watch Was in Black
well's Island Prison
Tom Meehan, deaf mute, charged
with having helped steal a S4O watch
from P. G. Diener's jewelry store,
signalled the jury in June criminal
court yesterday afternoon that he had
a wonderful alibi that admitted of
no dispute.
On the day of the crime Tom was
a prisoner in New York city prison on
Bluckwell's Island.
John Woolley, a fellow mute, who
was accused along with Meehan, was
equally positive that he didn't steal
the watch—and the jury believed their
detense. The whole defense was
based on the plea of mistaken identity.
And the jury this morning acquitted
both.
Only Meehan took the stand in his
own behalf. He told his whole story
via active fingers and an interpreter.
The only other thrill of to-day's
sessions was the trial of James Wash
ington on a charge of feloniously as
saulting Cornelius Shepherd. Both
are negroes. Cornelius charged Wash
ington with having fired a load of shot
from a shotgun Into him following a
little difference of opinion in a "crap"
game in the Walton stone quarries.
Incidentally while on the stand
Cornelius offered President Judge
Kunkel some first hand tips as to
the technicalities of crap; the presi
dent judgaowas advised as to the
! mysterious advantages of "fadin" " and
! hittin' " and so on.
j The whole row. it developed, grew
out of a difference of opinion to
whether or not Cornelius had right
fully acquired a dollar that Wash
ington claimed. The fuss was abruptly
ended by Washington who went to the
house for his shotgun and fired one
barrel at Cornelius.
The defense alleged that Cornelius
brought retribution upon himself for
cheating. He was a card sharp and
crook, counsel declared.
"Suppose he is?" inquired Presi
i dent Judge Kunkel. "That isn't an
j excuse for assaulting him. The way
I to avoid playing with a card sharp is
Ito keep away from him. You can't
! play with a card sharp and then
j shoot him."
| Other cases disposed of to-day in- !
eluded the following:
William S. Nicholas. Steelton, at- i
tempted burglary, convicted. no [
sentence; Harvey Fortney, indecent
assault upon small Middletown girl,
$5 fine and ten months in jail. Fort- I
ne y in 1911 served nine months for a
similar offense and Judge Kunkel told I
mm to-day that the court was sorry 1
It couldn't send him to the peniten- i
tiary. As Fortney was being led away i
hlr wife slipped from the crowded 1
courtroom, intercepted him in the
corridor and kissed him goodby.
William Saur and Abraham Cooper j
were convicted of stealing brass from !
the Pennsylvania Steel Company and i
Leonard Holland was convicted of I
shooting Leroy Brooks. Brooks nar
rowly escaped serious and perhaps
fatal injury because he carried a
brass pay check in his vest pocket.
The bullet fired by Holland was de-'
fleeted by the tiny tag.

Early callers included John Hays
Hammond and George W. Wicker

Republicans.
Mr. Hughes' campaign plans were
still indefinite to-day. He will remain
here until Saturday afternoon, when
he will go out of town over the week
end. returning late Sunday night or
early Monday, and on Monday will
start for Providence to address the
Brown University graduates.
Everett Colby, of New Jersey, a
Progressive leader, was expected to
call on Mr. Hughes to-day. He vis

the candidate out.
There was an insistent report to-day
that Mr. Colby. Oscar S. Straus, Pro

New York in 1912. and Samuel W.
Fairchlld. president of the Union

candidato and the Colonel together.
