A Sydney paper has the following:— Apropos of the unlucky number 13. Fitzgerald Brothers had their circus-waggons numbered while in Sydney last year. After starting out the axle of No 13 waggon broke and threw the driver into a creek, breaking his arm. His successor was run in for bigamy in the nent town. Humphries, the lion-«nragev, assumed temporary command of the unlucky waggon, and was horribly bitten by the lions the third day after.
