THE GREAT EASTERN CIRCUS This
great caravan pitched its tents yesterday
morning at the lot at the corner of Adams
and Leigh streets. About nine O'Clock our
streets were crowded with little folks and
big ones, who witnessed very satis-
factory street pageant. At one O'Clock
p. m. successful balloon ascension was
made from the circus lot, and at two
o'clock an immense throng attended
the show. Last night the tents capa-
city was fully tested. Indeed there
was not room enough for the people
who attended. If you want to get good
seat we advise you to start about an
hour before the show begins. The Great
Eastern circus, as a whole, is as satisfac-
tory show as we have attended for years.
The trapeze performance was especially
fine. The gymnaslic and acrobatic exer-
cises were hard to surpass, and
the joint performances on horseback
of w. Il. Carroll and his little son,
Dolly Warden, who is doubtless scarce
three years old, was feature, we venture
to assert, that was never witnessed by the
oldest inhabitant. The fine riding of
Charles Lowry, the bareback rider, and
the splendid horsemanship of Miss Emma
Lake also deserve special note. The ami
NAL show is well worth the price of admls-
sion to those who have never seen any,
thing of the kind. Time and space forbids
our saying anything further than 60 and
see the Great Eastern circus, and our
word for it you won't come away dissatis-
fed. 3ts&
