crowd from entsriog Du Sole and Greenwood passed
the ladies out calamity but the egrsss was not equal to
the influx. Barpum got excited, aud made several
speeches to the crowd advising the people to coma to-

Inside things were about the same as before. The
children perhaps, looked little wlted than the
day before and they bored pulled and pinched to
death by their irreverent and unmannerly visiters

We give list Of the remiums awarded, Thus far. It
to be the opinion Of various unpreudicei PERSONS
male and female that the first premium award

inspection, inclined to the belief that there were
several children much 6ner It seems absurd to allow
boy Of Ave years to compete with babies Of year.

competitors. This mother OF the $50 prize animal had
five chidren before she is thirty years old while her
