Sir, - I was delighted to read the article about Duffy's Circus by Arminta Wallace (July 27th). I have great memories of the circus coming to my home town in Mayo many years ago. First the circus paraded through the town, and then they were escorted by an enthusiastic crowd to Cooney's field, where they pitched their tent. My family had ringside seats to see all the excitement, because our bathroom window overlooked the field and we watched with wonder and awe as the spectacle unfolded before our eyes. Duffy's Circus brought magic into our lives and long may it continue to bring wonder and joy into children's lives. - Yours, etc.,
