A MAMMOTH CIRcus.-The migratory tendency
towards fields and groves during the summer soI-
stce and the universal fondness for anu semsnts in
the open air during The dogcsys, have been happily
seized by Messrs Spsldlpg Il Rogers, the circus
managers. They are knov n in the West and
South the prcpretors Of the Floating Palace and
its attendant circus fset, and in New York and
New England as TIE proprietors Of the North Ane-
rican Circus. Substituting Van Amburghs mena-
gerie this year for the equestrian troupe
on the Palace, (Which, by the way, Is o.
floating mpbIbeste ss capacious elegant and lux
urious as our meucpolith theatres,) thsy have
brought the troupe North, and, constructing huge
movable maequ6e, have pitted their Northern and
Southern companies against each other, In daily
friendly strife In The same ring in the presence Of
the assembled spectators to tbs delight of the New
En9lsnders, where they are exhibiting just now. 40
the pavilion is as near cut OF DOORS and as little like
brick and mortar (for nich PEOPLE entertain salu-
tary adherence in this bot weather) as possible,
multitudes fock 10 witness this unusual contest.
As each company consists Of picked men OF the
equestrian profession, No tb and South, It is not
strange that sectional, but good natured, rivalry
exists between the two part and less strange that
the spectators should unconsciously spouse the
cause Of one or the other Of the troupes. Quite q
partisan spirit is said to be invariably excited
amongst the audience during the trial for
mastery in the ring. There are other peculiaritics
about the double establishment worthy Of note, such
as duplication Of everything involved In the bssi
ness. Two orchestras Zone led by Mel Kendall,
the buger); two sets Of clio and ring horses, a
well as performers; complete d 'amatic corps for
the production Of spectacles and pantomimes q
triumpbal procession through tie streets every day,
of the bands in car, drawn by forty horses driven
by one man; and the appointments generally upon
commensurate scale but the curiosity these things
naturally produce at other times, seems to be en-
crossed by the paramount; interest excited by this
trial Of skill between Northern and Southern
atsisie. As the show is peripstetic' aud en- route
for the principal Atlantic citi es, the people herea-
bouts will have an opportunity of becoming inocu-
lated with the prevailing enthusiasm. Fns great
chow arrived at Saratoga Springs on the 18th.
BosToN.-One OF our reporters recently visited
the new theatre on Washington and Mason streets,
So far the stage arrangements go, it is undoubt
edly the finest theatre Ia the United States probably
in the world. The machinery and all the carpen
ter's work are quaued, waile many improvements
have been introduced Thsre Is plenty Of room FOR
the workings Of tie stage, aud the accommod atoms
for the actors are superb. The building has evi.
