particulars since its visit to this city two seasons
riders, skilful acrObas and juggeTs funny clowns,
and large number of trained animals. One of the
great features Of the show is CrOCkets den of lions
in which Mr.. Pearce will perform with the wild
beasts
Good equestrianism is always attractive to large
number OF persons who care very little for other
amusements and well-OrganiZed circus is gene
rally sure Of liberal patronage There is a fascina-
ton about the saW-dust, tOo for those who profess
to have outgrown liking for this sort of thing, but
who cannot refrain from dropping in occasionally
at the tendoor if only for the sake OF revivng old
recoections. The fact is that the circus is really
good entertainment, and first-rate horsemanship is
something well worthy Of admiration.
