Charinis Royal Italian Circus would be sole
I at auction. The place selected was the stree
in front Of Wilson's Palace Amphitheater
: corner Of New Montgomery and Mission
! streets.
Accordingly great crowd gathered yester
day. So numerous were the curious and
cOvetous, indeed, that the street was quite
impossible for fully half an hour before the
time for commencing the sale. As was to be
expected the assemblage had q very horsey
cast. There We're great many gentlemen in
snlkles, sporting diamond pins and purple
black tufts at their chins Raw, red faces
and variegated trousers, belonging to gentle
! man with hoarSe voices, were to be seen in
proiuslou. But the majority were mere
| SLAVES or CURIOSITY.
II isn't every day that one gets a chance to
see circus sold at auction. Bytwelve o'clock
Inc crowd had grown SO unmanageably large
that John G. Bell, The auctioneer, fatty re-
fused to mount the hogshead prepared for
him. With one arm around the neck OF the
guanaco, and a monkey sitting on the other,
| Mr.. Bell said that with all due respect to Mr..
| Chiarini, he'd see him hangd before he
would Lawl for several hours to such an IN
ruy and probably harl-up multitude. At
this critical iuncture John Wilson mounted
the breach and offered the use OF his amphi-
thea.er.
In Z few moments that cOmm0dlouS build
ing was crdmm d, and the auctioneer upon a
table at the side of the ring was airing his
powerful voice on the astonishing merits of
tie Batavia pony, Tom Thumb" a black
little beast the size Of stunted Newfonnd-
land. IN tone Of almost fearful reproach.
Mr.. Bal knocked linn down to James Robin
son. the circus rider for 500 "Mandarin. .

rate.
