SAUTELLE CIRCUS MAY 1.
Second Ring This Year—A Host of Great Attractions.
Flaming posters now proclaim the fact that Sig. Sautelle’s new big 26-car railroad circus, menagerie, royal Roman hippodrome and historical wild west will exhibit at Athletic field in Cortland Friday afternoon and evening, May 1. Already the small boy and his older brother are happy in anticipating the coming of this vast tented amusement enterprise, with all its mighty wonders.
This season Mr. Sautelle has enlarged his shows in every department and his greatly augmented list of performers and feature acts has made it necessary that he adds a second ring. Overcapping both rings is a veritable maze of trapezes, ropes, and bars, while on the ground and in the air a hundred or more women and dumb animals are employed in rendering a performance which taxes the best skill and utmost strength and the very lives of all.
The clowns, to be sure, are funnier than ever, but the animals which dance and turn and respond to the slightest whisper of command; the men and women trained by life practice to place themselves into inhuman knots or swing through space with outstretched hands; the post graduates of the universal college of equestrianism, both male and female, the elephants, tigers, lions and other wild animals are each and all worth going miles to witness. And when all these things are under one management—well, it is the circus of Cortland’s famous showman Sig. Sautelle. That is absolutely certain. From the opening of the program extraordinary, peerless, equestrian acts, aerobatic feats, clownish gambols, races around the arena and all the rest follow with the precision and skilled execution one is accustomed to see in Sig. Sautelle’s circus.
The $100,000 menagerie is filled with rare and costly specimens of animal life from all quarters of the globe, and a visit to it will prove to more value by far than a tour to many of the best known zoological gardens in this country or Europe.
A WILD WOMAN
Who Lacks a Nose is Terrifying Children on Long Island.
Eastport, N. Y., April 25—A wild woman, who has appeared in the woods about Good Ground, is being eagerly sought for by parties of men. Women and children are alarmed at her presence and seldom venture out now. The woman is described as stubby, short haired and noseless. Children gathering May pinks or wintergreen berries have been chased by the woman, who on failing to capture them, savagely scratched the ground.
