People who happen to be in thevicinity of the- post office at throe o'clock this afternoon will scm? the unusual sight of a human being noting as swingletree to a four horse lovric. Bl'vir Athol, the athe'eto from tb<> IVilf.c:' Circus, which opens here to-night_isi going to bo in tho unenviable position of being the working part of a loaded lorry v,-eighting three tons. Four horsos will be lu'tclicd to his arms and chest and away around town thp parade will go. We are not inclined to contradict Athol when he says one fault is fatal. To-night in the ring two blacksmiths will beat out a horse shoe on an anvil on Athol' ; s chest with sledge hammers. Tho Ridgway Bros, wi'.l appear in a balancing act nuw to tin's district. Celeno the endurance club swinger, will give an exhibition of fancy swinging with bayonets, knives and daggers all of which he claims to be razor sharp. Lieut. Coles' clevor baboons, monkoys and dogs will go through their tricks and show what education does even, for animals. Tho prices are popular and a good house may bo expected.
