DeHa7en's colossal circus viii make
its grand eatree this morning IN our
city. Two perfo4 -nances only Will
be giyen-one this afternoon, and the
other tonight. DeHaven is said to
have a splendid show, and wherever
he has exhibited the papers invaria-
bly speak we'll Of him after his de-
parture. In addition to a full and
complete circus company Of trained
acrobats, gymnasts. riders, etc.,
headed by three excellent clowns.
there is also the celebrated
troupe of performing dogs and mon
keys, trained by the Hanlor Brothers.
These trained animals are pronounced
one of the best lows ever presented
to the American public. and are worth
a visit from both old and y ing. OF
course, the children will be delighted
to see them. Old Sam. Lathrop, the
veteran clown, / be on hand; also
Mr.. Wallace. the famous jester, one
of the rising wits Of the age. There
is also the Bedouin Arab Troupe.
We feel sure that no better circus has
visited this city for long while, and
we feel confident of big crowd at
both performances. Fun is the pass
word.
