Now a day’s cirrus shows very rear in our country. This is best entertainment to the children.

What a grand time we had at the circus last night! The circus tent was brightly illuminated with electric lights. There were seats arranged in a huge circle round a big open place where the animals were to show their tricks. A big crowd had assembled there.

Exactly 6 o’ clock the show began. We were full of thrill and excitement.

First came in seven horses. On their backs rode six men dressed in red. Blue and yellow, and a foreign girl dressed in a riding-cloak. The band played a dance tune, and all the horse went round in a circle dancing in tune to the music. Then the riders got up and stood on the backs of the horses. The horse on which the girl rode was now without its rider. She now stood aside directing the tricks to be shown by the horses and the riders. She struck the whip and the horses galloped in a circle, the riders standing on their backs. She cracked the whip again and now the riders were jumping from one horse to another and turning somersaults in the air, touching the ground with their feet and coming into position again by catching the tails of the horses, it was indeed very wonderful. We cheered and cheered till we could cheer no more.

Then the elephants were brought in. they performed very funny tricks. One by one they crossed a narrow bridge. They stood upon their hind legs and danced. They stood in a row; one balancing his forelegs on the back of the next in front of him.

Next there came three very clowns with painted faces. One was dressed like a monkey; the other was dressed like a lion, and the bird like a village girl. We little we little children thought at first that these were animals that could both speak and walk. They made us roar with laughter funny antics.

But the most wonderful part was to see the tame lions. It was really a splendid thing to see them do certain things unimaginable in actual life. There stood the lion- tamer, with a strong whip in his hand. There were three lions which were made to stand in a row, and a goat was made to jump from the back of one lion on to another. Then they brought in cow, and the lions were made to jump over its back. It was really very surprised to see all this.

Then there were athletes who held us spell –bound with their gymnastic feats. They climbed to the roof of the tent be means of a rope ladder and there walked and ran on a rope hung between tow poles and holding the stretched out rope with their feet took many a somersault. At one time I thought that I had one to sleep and was dreaming.

We had a very exciting time, and retuned home, full of strange and varied experiences.
