Barnum's Monster Show.
Barnum's show, Saturday, must have the
credit Of drawing to the city the largest crowd
that has filled our streets for many day In the
carly morning the people were astir, pouring into
tie city from all directions ard in every style of
conveyance. Old and young alike came to par
ticpate in Barnum's centennial gloricstion. The
firing of the national salute announced the advent
of the procession and no street show seen in Au-
gusta ever began to compare with it. Everything
beautiful, wonderful and strange represented
in the pageant. Particularly noticeable was the
magnificent stud of horses. The procession
mile in length, and was witnessed by a large and
most Interested concourse of persons. On the
trotting park grounds had been spread the three
connecting tents containing the museum, menag-
erie and circus each department complete in itself,
a | accessible to person holding single ticket.
1t required nearly the whole space of the area in
side the track for the spreading of the canvass.
We cannot 80 into details concerning the various
departments of the exhibition OF the performances
in The arena, but must content ourselves with sim
ply lying that the whole thing is immense. 1t is
intensely Barnum throughout. If one came miles
to simply the Grand Entree each afternoon
and evening, he would be amply repaid. Among
the noted performers, are those we'll known to
fame, such as Maritime Lowande and bis boy
Tony, the Carlos, Jeneatte Watson the japanese
Satsuma and All Right The entire performances
are refined in their character, not a word beng
spoken or an act performed that would offend the
most sensitive nature. The collection Of wild an
finals is large and rare, and study of itself Tie
performances in the afternoon were attended by
about 60O0 people, and in the evening by about the
same number Barnum is fortunate in the selec-
ton of his managers From first to last the en-
tire corps thoroughly understand their business.
To Mr.. Dan b. Hopkins, the gentlemanly Press
Agent, are we indebted for many kind attentions.
born newspaper man himself, he understands
just exactly the position of the press towards the
public and the public exhibition, and recognizes
in his acts.
We understand that a patty from this city will
visit Ocean Point formerly known as Linneken's
Neck), Boothbay, for the purpose of selecting
lots on which to build summer residences this
season. The party will consent Of
