When the noon whistles blew at twelve o'clock the circus was on the last lap to the grounds where it is performing, after having delighted undreds of people with the parade. But, just as it was making the left hand turn off King street, the con- gestion of noon traffic came upon it, and like, a flash traffic was halted, from here to King and Simcoe streets. Cars began to line up, too, west of the circus grounds, and soon there was a line up on the south side of the street here, while 300 cars, by actual count, were completely stop- ped between the Simtoe street cor- ner and the Brewery Warehouse on King street west.

After about five minutes of frantic work by Chief of Police Friend, at King and Church streets, and two officers at King and Simcoe streets, and with the circus finally turning off King street, the cloud lifted and the motorists went their way rejoicing that it had not been worse, although quite bad enough.
