.. " SHOW. j '
Immense Street Parade SeA Lions' the
Star Performers--Human Statuary
' Excellent-Menagerie Good-Immense
Attendance.
The Forepaugh and Sells Bros'
great circus has come and gone.
It is ft'uite an. aggregation. It
takes about 50 cars to carry it from
place to place. In 'the street pa
rade there were forty vehicles,
one drawn byten Horses. There
were four bands and the'calliope,
making a splendid street scene.
The show had conspicuously
good features at the head of
which was the herd of Sea lions.
They manifested a susceptibilty
to training not equaled, probably,
by any other animal, and the
show pictures do not tell all their
cleverness.
The human statuary was ex
ceedingly beautiful.
The cycling, with one standing
erect on the shoulders of another
was rare.
The elephants, of which there
were an unusually large herd,
executed some very good drill
practice. The circus riding and
the trapeze performances were
hardly up to the average of large
circuses, though several features
were excellent. The four horse
Chariot racing was thrilling but
was too quickly over. There was
an absence of clownish witicisms
and beauty of rhetoric that is a
source of pleasure to the intelli
gent class. The menagerie is
quite satisfactory and valuable
for the lovers of earth's fauna.
There were some fine eques
trian performances, though quite
limited.
The show was quite well pat
ronized and the tent contained
probably 4,000 spectators at the
afternoon performances- and a
fair number at night.
As a whole the show was hard
ly up to expectations for such a
gigantic affair, but all had the
satisfaction of having seen the
monkey.
The long and the shdrt of it
are Mr. & A Shields and wife, '
each 7 feet 5 inches and Major
Ray and wife, the former 36
inches and the latter 37 inches
in height.

We are sorry to learn of the
death of Charlie, the three-year-old

Our deepest sympathies go

the parental hearts in strongest
bands of unity, and commend to
to them, the comfort in "What I
d thou knowest not .now but
