THE GREAT Show AT STANTON, AUGUST 4Tn
The New York AND NEW ORLEANS ZcoLoa
IcAL AND EQUESTRIAN ExposIT1oN-W WHAT THE
PAPERS SAY ABOUT IT.--The second annual tour
OF this most stupendous exhibition was inaugu-
rated yesterday. Extensive preparations had
been made during the past winter, and num-
Der of new attractions added, until it now
sta IDS without an equal IN the country. At
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, the mag
nifcent street pageant made its appearance on
our Streets h AIDED by the monster music car
drawn by fourteen dromedaries and splendid
span of horses number Of ladies and gentle
men, handsomely attired, aad mounted on
priceless steeds, followed the band wagon next
in order came the lions den open to full view,
with George Conkln, the Lion King, seated in
the midst of his pets, followed by a long line of
animal dens, including large plate glass den
of monster serpents, with Zingra, the Hindoo
snake charmer, seated d mong them, the whole
procession terminating with that monster music
marvel of the age, the steam calliope.
THE EXHIBITION
At an early hour the circus and menagerie
tents were filled with large crowd of people,
including many of our best citizens. The me-
nagerie contains many rare and valuable ami
mails, including in all nearly 400 living speci-
mems.
THE CIRCUS.
In the circus depar tment are some of the most
noted equestriaus, gymnasts, accrobats, ETC., in
The country The performan ce began with the
grand entree, in which the dromedaries, hand
somey caparisoned, were introduced with the
horses something new in this country, and
making very fine appearance. The leapers,
headed by Vim. Bachelor, the champion of the
world, were next introduced, and astonisbed
the audience with their splendid performances,
after which Mr.. Bachelor favored them with q
double somersault over sixteen horses, receiving
some tremendous cheering for his efforts. Mr..
Welby Cooke, in his splendid feats of eques-
trianism, introducing number of English jock
eying pastimes, WAS by far the finest ever seen
in circus company. Young Leon, the champ
ion boy bareback rider of the world, was
worthy of special mention. Mile Rosina Cooke,
and her fine dancing mare. Mrs. Orion in her
manage also contributed largely to the after
Moons enjoyment. The show ended with Geo.
Conklin and his lions; they were put through a
number of feats which were all we'll executed,
after which they were rewarded by liberal
quantity of raw meat.
1t would require several columns to notice
this splendid party as they deserve, as they are
certainly the finest troupe of performers in the
country. But time nor space will not admit of
it this morning. Their performance in our city
was superior to any thing in the circus line we
have ever seen, and we can safely recommend
them wherever they may go.-F1om the Neao
Orleans Times. april IL, 1874.

REMARKS.

We have dull market in all kinds of
produce for the past week, except meal
and corn, which has barely sustained them
selves, but met with ready sales. The fact
of their being no mill in the city to grind
corn into meal renders it difficult often to
supply the city with meal. Oats fell off
in price1O to Is cents per bushel.
