1t was a common remark yesterday
upon the streets that Barnum's parade
was the finest that eve had been wit
messed, and among the many fine horses
was especially noticed the elegant little
team at the head of the line and leading
the procession. They cayorted and
-pranced through the streets, and barring
the camels, were the feature Of the pro-
cessiOn.

Tennessee railroad. At that hour with
the aid Of twelve Of his circus horses, his

ence Of time, in days, eighteen

on the streets yesterday while taking
part in the grand parade-certainly the
finest ever witnessed IN Memphis-and

went round very quietly till he came
opposite South Court street, when he
made a furious rush for a poor, unfortu-
