The .NSp York Cireu-L. b. Lent, Di-
rector. Music is the distinguishing character
istsc Of the New York Circus this season. This
highly popular troupe rs will be seen by the
advertisement, Is TO appear in Ssco on Saturday
this week, and now claims 10 be not only the
largest and best in every respect, but brings
with Il this season an. attraction that has never
before been introduced-a full and efficient ORCH
estra. The band numbers twenty-five excellent
musicians, who play their principal music upon
brass and reed instruments, performing over
tures, arias, &C., from all the popular operas,
giving vitality TO performances which, in the
abs ence Of good music are stale, fiat and un-
profitable. This innovation, introduced for the
first time in circus exhibition by manager
Lent, has had the effect Of elevating the char
actcr Of eor estrian entertainments, aud draw
ing 10 his tent many unacustomed TO attend pub
lie amusements Of this sort. II Is announced
that on the morning Of the day Of their exhibi-
ton this well appointed band, under the direct
ion Of Prof. Boswold, will appear In this city In
their splendid band chariot, clad in full scarlet
uniform. with gold trimmings, helmets and
plumes, &C., presenting an imposing pageant
The chariot viii be drawn through the principal
streets by twenty-four horses harncsscd four
abreast. claimed 10 be the handsomest team and
the mcst gorgeous turnout that has been seen
in New Elgland. .r-
The programme announces among the riders
the celebrated Caroline ROLAND, whose speci-
atty is'riding without saddle or bride. and per-
forming upon the bare back OF her horse all,
and even more, than any other lady rider can
do in the ordinary manner. Her equitation Is
n succession or surprises and brilliant feats,
ffom first 10 last. The other members OF the
troupe, Melville, Stickney, Sagreni, the Leyen-
tines, the Australians, Conrad and his petit
canine geniuses, the corps OF gymnats, with
Lester at the head, the indomitabe horse trainer
w. Organ. the grotesque acrobat III. North,
and last, though not least in public esteem. the
the numerous, time hOnorel clown Joe Pentland.
with such a oupe and such anxiliaries the
New York Circus has attained undisputed pre-
eminence among competing exhibitions OF this
kind in the Unitei States. II Is undoubtedly
owing to this well-earned reputation, now 10
generally conceded, that il commands success
wherever its big tent is pitched,
