There is no luauner or form of enter
tainment that exoites equal enthusiasm
m the hearts and minds of tin-children
a tho circus, and this may be said
with much truth in regards to persons
of inniurer years as well as those who
have grown gray with the weight of
years. There is nothing that recalls
with more vivid presentation the en
thusiasm ami excitement of youth.
The sawdust ring with the healthy
smell of pine, fresli and invigorating.
The funny clowns, the trick donkeys,
the lemonade and peanut venders of
early days pass in panoramo before us
when the bill-boards, With flaring
posters announce the coming circus.
The great tented shows of to-day do
not properly till the bill. The present
giant aggregation under acres of can
vas produce a confusion of acts in sev
eral rings and as many platforms with
multiplicity of clowns, good, had and
Indifferent scattered promiscuously
around the hippodrome, bewildering
the vision and distracting attention,
n trying to see all no act i properly
seen. The Welsh Bros.' Shows recalls
ye olden times more truly than any f
tho tented shows to-day; one ring, af
ter the fashion of early day b, with the
truly funny clowns and a long list of
marvelous acrobatic, contortion, as rial,
trained animals and olher acts, follow
ing one another In rapid sum sum.
The Welsh Bros,' shows, is MiN sea
son much brighter, better and larger
than ever before. It bus always been
a strict rule of Welsh Bros, to advertise
only what la presented. Another rule
which is stringently enforced on all
employees is, thorough politcm to all
patrons under all circumstances. These
methods have been in vogue w ith these
enterprising showmen from the start
and have won for them the good will
and confidence of the public. Two
complete performances are given daily
afternoon and evening at 2 and 8 o'
clock. The li g free street parade lakes
place daily at 10:80 a. in., an all surpass
ing, glittering pageantry. The show
will pitch tents at the old Fair Grounds
one day only, Monday July 1st.
ALL THE NEWS OF SPORTS.
A Departure Which Will Pleaie Alt Who En
joy Athletics.
The Great Philadelphia Sunday
"Press'' has arranged to devote a
special section each Sunday t the

is certain to be heartily welcomed by
those who are interested in outdoor
pastimes, In this manner the news is
conveniently classified for the reader
and he is able to quickly and readily
find the report of any athletic event in
which he may be interested. "The
Press" has long been noted for the ac
curacy of its sporting neWB and this
same high standard is maintained in
the sporting section of the "Sunday
Press" with the added advantage of
tne news being kept well together.
Baseball, yachting, cricket, rowing,
horse racing, college athletics and all
kinds of sports on land and water arc
featurized by "The Press" both daily
and Sunday. It prints more and bet
ter sporting bewa than any other Phil
adelphia paper.
To Vote on Amendment,
Governor Stone has signed the sen
ate hill providing for a submission to
vote of the people at the next general
election a proposed amendment to the
oonsitltution to substitute voting ma
chines for the present system of ballot
ing. The last legislature passed a
joint resolution proposing this change
in the constitution, which was vetoed
by the governor. The supreme court
decided that the executive bad no
right to approve or disapprove a reso
lution of this kind. This bill is the
next step in the proceding and simply
prescribed the time and manner ot sub
niitting the proposed amendment to
the people. In signing the bill the
governor explains bis position upon
the subject in a brief communication
to the legislature.
