The Harrisburg Patriot speaks as fol-
lows: 1.-THE colossal golden shariots
attached TO Hoves' circus and mensg-
erie arrived in this city last evening,
and are now stationed on the cotton
factory lot. These charriots weigh over
10000 pounds each and require three
brakemen, one driver and ten horses
each. to conduct them through the
streets. In appearance they are not
only misunderstanding to an altitude
on a level with three story windows.
but exquisitely handsome. They will
appear conspicuously 10 the royal pa
rade ofthe circus and menagarie to-day.
The success OF Howes combination
has psrtaken OF the nature OF a contln-
nous ovation sipce its advent into this
state. At Allentown, Reading. Bethle-
hem, Lebanon, Lancaster and Elizabeth
town over 10000 people gave it their
patronage, and having seen the exhibi-
ton and made particular observations,
we unhesitatingly commend 1t to the
favor OF our people,,
The Lancaster Examiner Gays OF the
| performance given there on Monday
night: ,.
Never has there been witnessed in
Lancaster, if in any other place, 80 adj
mirably conducted and attractive an
exhibition as that which so many OF
our reople witnessed yesterday under
the mammoth ravillions OF this mon
ster concern. We have all seen circus
es and meuageries, both separated and
combined. We have witnessed street
parades and arepic disp!ays; have
heard the awe inspiring growls OF lions
and tigers, grinned over the antics OF
monkeys and ushed at the stereotyped
Jokes OF the clown. Yesterdays en-.
ioyment was fuller and more rational
from the gorgeous street parade to the
side show attractions In all things
there was a departure from the old rou-
, tine. New features were Introduced,
! ncveltesgiven rs never heard OF before.
We have only space to mention a few.
Fret, the grand entrre was participated
in yth, ladies alone-ten beautifully
DIRE aed equestrienres, mounted upon
rich va d gaily comrarisoned steeds
did ON intricate and symmetrical ev-
o,nt;on, which were followed by q
grand procession, outside and inside the
ring, OF elephants, zsb:as, ponies,
and attendant ushers with bannere, and
the keepers OF the menagerie and
eouery. The arenic exploits were truly
novel and good, led by Mile Dockrill,
the most accomplished and daring bare
back eauestrienne in the world; VIM.
| n. Morgan, the champion bare back
rider, and others, graceful and dashing.
The eats o. the Romelli aerial gymnasts
were startling in their daring and grace
full accomplishment, while the sumner
saulting by the whole troupe was among
the best we have ever seem. The
humor Of the ring vas provocative Of
side splitting laughter, kept up by trio
OF clowns in almost uninterrupted
strains. The grand features OF the per-
| (ormance, however, were the entrance
OF the ca yes Of niue hyenas, by Mainland
who played with them as one would
with a poodle dog, and the exploits Of
the Moloch of the den in cage OF five
royal Bengal tigers, terminating with
the almost incredible performances Of
five elephants in the training OF Mr.
Roberts"
