pared to be disappointed in case every
thing was not of superior excellence,
The performance and exhibitions over,
the managers were assured by the
many expressions of favor that their
combination of canvas covered wonders
was not only above the average, but
far ahead of any show of the kind that
has pitched tents in these parts for
many Il day. The street parade was
really gorgeous. The six golden char
lots as they moved through the thor
oughfares drawn by cavalcades of rich
ly caparisoned horses, presented an
imposing architectural spectacle of
fantastic three-decked magnificence on
wheels, that at once indOrsed the high

elites to be seen that challenged tne
admiration of the old and young. The
entrance passage ushered the visitors
into the menagerie department.. Here

some of the rarest and strangest crea
lures of the animal kingdom. Among
them were the African Eland, Bless
Book; the Potoquaine or Sable Ante
Iope; the Zebu or Sacred Ball; the
Brirdled Gnu, Ichneumon, the Black
Tiger of India, the only one in AmerI-
ca, and the South America Tapir. In
addition to these were five Elephants,
Canels, Zebras, Kangaroos, an avairy
of beautiful tropical birds, nine Hyen-
icom Asia aud Afr ca, drove of Mus
t,ugs, ana III fine, representatives, of
almost every depar ,ment of natural
