\ subscriber who lives in Washington , D. C, during the

since many of our subscribers are part-time residents here,
came desire may be felt by them. We will see what we can do
'j i,Kiuding a bit of a resume of rain and sunshine, clouds
atmospheric clarity, fog and winds, temperature, and such
observations as may occur to us. It will not be an official
Iher report,—nothing pretentious—just a friend-to-friend

rrinli. And it will probably be found in this column. Look
it next week.
^•c might make a start today on the first day of September
I observe that the morning started rainy and cool, although
e's blue sky in the offing. Monday's storm did little damage
the Cape. Some stoppage of electric current by fallen tree
bs boats blown ashore, some telephones put out of commis-
n The wind was high, also the various bodies of water. Since
today's storm , clear sunny weather has prevailed, although
re's been a touch of humidity making for slight discomfort.

Water Carnivals Over
Labor Day Week End
Becniiso of the deep Interest shown In our Cape Cod Hospital,
wo are here supplementing our earlier story on the coroiuony In
connection with the laying the cornerstone and our later publishin g
of Mr. Klttredge's addross at the ceremony with a brief history of
the Hospital and the story of its beginning.
The first event to establish the new hospital was a cireus !
About 3f> y«ars ajro, when the idea ol a real hospital had first
boon thought of , a two-day "Two-l'nw " Cireus was staged in
t no grove at tne reur or tne nousee
of Dr. and Mrs. Charles K. Harris,
Hyannis. The circus was to benefi t
not only the new hospital , but also
Hyannis Congregational Church
which then stood at the site of the
present Church Bell Inn and Apart-
ments. Hov . M. B. Pearson was
then pastor.
The llnaucial results of the cir-
cus produced $50 for the new hos-
pital , the very first gift It received ,
a gift from Dr. and Mrs. Harris and
his family. The money was held
until a few years later the hospital
project came into being and then
a check was presented—the first
gift—S60.
It was Mrs. Harris and her chil-
dren who "put on" the circus, as-
sisted by others, Including a num-
ber from the Congregational
Church. A canvas was drawn around
the grove to give the appearance of
a circus tent. Bear skins were pro-
cured for three persons who served
as the three bears In Little Red
Riding Hood and stayed in the lit-
tle bear house, when they were
not prowling around the grounds
among the crowd attending the cir-
cus. Others dresBSd as different
animals were about, also, and all
the animals took part lit the mam-
moth parade along Main street.
Traffic was not then what. It Is to-
day, but whatever It was, It was
halted for the circus parade,
girl played with her toos.
Not least was the local hand , the
i "Oboe Band," made up of towns-
people , who marched in thu parade
playing papier-mache inst ruments
and dressed In colorful costumes.
Thus the two-day "Two-l'uw"
Circus , 35 years ago.
At a meetin g of the Hyannis
Hoard of Trade on the second of
April , 1010, a brier report con-
tained this statement ;
"It seemed to he tlio opinion of
all those present (hat Cape Cod i
has reached that point where a
public hospital is noodod."
