NO SERIOUS DAMAGE DONE TO THE BIG BUILDING
The Boston Globe, of yesterday, says
stOur friends at distance from Boston must
not get wrong impression from the casualty
which has occurred to the proposed coliseum.
But very little progress had been made in the
construction, and the loss is inconslderable
viewed from any standpoint Indeed no loss
has been sustained which the executive commit
tee heed for one moment, save that Of time, which
has been sufficient to preclude the possibility Of
rebuilding in the elaborate style which was con-
templated The new structure will be as large
in capacity as at first proposed. its outward
ornamentation of towers being abandoned to
meet the necessity for despatch. The heanng
and auditorium generally viii be precisely as
proposed before the accident, 80 that the dia-
grams and tickets as issued will be unchanged.
New fire and zeal has been infused into the pro
moters Of the grand affair, and perhaps such an
experience was needed to keep all parties up to
conrert pitch. In the meantime every arrange
ment with regard to the musical and other
Departments is progressing steadily and surely
towards the perfect contamination June /.

sIeHTs AND SCENES ABOUND rows. 2 Di
The event of to-day is the great show of the
word-renowned Barnum. Early this morning,
the mammoth caravan arrived from Chester,
and the tents we're pitched at Tenth and Madi-
son streets. About Q o'eloak tie street iAgsane
took place, and as 1t moved along Market and
other streets, 1t was gazed upon by anxious
thousands, who lined the sidewalks or looked
down upon it from commanding positions at
front windows or from balconies, while retinue
of happy-faced children swarmed around the
band wagon and the golden chariot the two
principal objects in the procession.
The former was drawn by four horses and
twelve camels, gaily aparisoned--objects OF
curiosity and interest as with measured tread
they slowly moved in the prooeesaon. These led
the van, and were followed BY long line Of ami
NAL cages while the golden chariot brought up
the rear Upon the four corners thereof sat as
many richly costumed ladies, while on the top
OF the chariot and beneath pavilion was seated
fifth lady, also richly dressed. ll
The city is full of strangers. SO early as yes
terday afternoon visitors began to arrive, and
each train since has brought new aocessions TO
the number, while long lines Of carriages might
have been seen entering the city this morning
by it's several approaches. 1t il impossible TO
estimate the number of strangers present with

thousand. An excursion arrived from Salem

The mornings entertainment was Witnessed
by about 1000 persons, and is described as Of Q
very pleasant and profitable character. The
wild animals and other curiosities possess rare
