The immense combination of circus, meD-
agerie, museum, ayiary, balloon ascension,
&c, spread its canvas on Baptist Hill in this
CITY Yesterday, and it Is the "blggest spread"
ever made in st. Paul. We are sometimes IA
miliar with the sensational language used In
the advertisements of circus companies, men
nageries, &C., and have not been disappoint-
ed when we saw a superior display upon the
bill boards than we did within the canvas. In
the present instance we are as happily dissp-
pointed the other way. The Great Eastern is
sssll It is cracked up to be-" The managers
perform and exhibit all they advertise. Their
show is simply immense, and is well worth
riding many miles to see. They have the
largest collection of wild animals, birds, &C.,
ever exhibited in St. Paul; and their circus
performance has never been equaled in our
city. This fact became apparent when the
grand parade took place in the city In the
morning-and the consequence was, their can
vas, large as it is, was utterly inadequate to
accommodate the thousands who hocked to see
the show, both in the afternoon and In the
evening There were more people gathered at
Baptist Hill last evening than was ever before
collected on the same space In St. Paul. So
| great was the demand for tickets, and SO
great the crowd inside the tent, that the per-
Torrance had to be stopped, and nearly five
hundred people had to leave-their money be-
ing refunded, The ticket boxes were closed
and thousands had to be turned away. There
has never been anything like it at any similar
show in st. Paul.-St Paul (Afjas,) Daily
Pioneer, Jss'le Is.
This mammoth establishment will exhibit
in Clyde, on Friday, August 16. See its ad-
vertisement.
