a.AND cr.Crs EXHIBITION.

John Wilson. the prince Of circus men
is giving entertainments in virginia to
crowded houses. Last evening his
splendid palace amphitheater was dense
ly packed. the audience numbering s.
900 in all. Hundreds Of extra seats had
to be provided for the spectators. Will
sons circus Is the sole relic Of the Olym-
pic games, and carries one back, in i'm
agination. to the times when tigers and
camelopards bounded in the Flavian
Amphitheater. The proprietor Of the
same is not content with mediochty in
any department. and accordingly he has
se"ured both h~emispheres In order 10
obtain first-class performers and horses
to his own liking. The performances by
the company are conceded by all hands
to be the finest ever seen In the United
States, for which reason the people
are bound to patronize them. Tho
audience last evening formed q motley
gathering. representatives OF all nation
alities being in attendance.
Conspicuous in the arena We noticed
our old time friend Omar Kingsley. the
best Of living equestrians. The perform
ances by the Leopold Brothers, the
juvenile trapezists was the perfection Of
the acmbatic art and called forth from
the audience frequent prolonged APP
plause. The greatest and most daring
feat OF the evening was the double
somersault turned by Fred, O'Brien over
fourteen horses standing side by side
and fourteen men forming q pyramid
above them. 0'Brien can justly be re-
garded as the champion leaper Of the
wor III. The Kenebel Brothers excited an
immense amount Of merriment by their
grotesque makeup attitudes and quaint
remarks.
Leon and Lascelles acquitted them
selves on the horizontal bar in their
usually excellent style. Mile. Dockril
the most brilliant and dashing bareback
equestrienne in the world covered her
self with fresh laurels. II IL difficult to
particularize where all did well. We
hardly knew which most to admire
the male and female performers or tho
trained horses. Napoleon and President
were there; swift steeds, black as mid
night and snow white chargers from
Arabia performed almost incredible feats
at the beck Of their master. Mr.. Wilson
informs US that he would have been glad
II he could have showed in Gold Hill.
The company will perform in Virginia
until Monday evening. on which he will
give an entertainment specially for the
accommodation Of the people Of Gold
Hill. Through the kindness OF II. n.
Yerington no has secured a special
excursion train for those Of our citizens
who desire to go to the circus. The
train will leave the Gold Hill depot ut Z
T. ", landing passengers at the circus
grounds. The train will return as soon
as the performance is concluded. Pas.
sage both ways free. It Is to be hoped
that our people will properly appreciate
Mr.. Wilson's kindness and turn out in
large numbers.
