Zen Thousand People Crowd the Tents

Special to Tho lleraldl
FoRT WORTH, October o Howe's
Great London Circus drew the largest
crowd from all sections of the country
that has ever been In Fort Worth. 1t
is estimated that there were ten thou
sand people in the city. Trains com
menced coming in the city yesterday
evening and this morning. The one
leading to the city was one Of solid
mass of teams of all descriptions and
vehicles loaded with men, women and
children. The crowd being so great,
Mr.. Benson, the manager, consented
TO give three performances, opening
the doors for the first performance 1t
ten o'clock this morning. The circus
is perfect success, and the best per-
formance that has ever been given in
Texas as we can vouch for.
