Ing ct the corner Of Canal and Rochebiave
streets, where Coles great circus and menagerie
were thrown thrown open to the public. There
could not have been fewer than 5000 people pres
emit, and when the hour was reahced for the
beginning Of tho performance the enclosure was
SO crowded in every one Of It's parasitic ground
dreds upon hundreds of speotators-tbat Mr..
Cole had to order the stoppage of the sale of
tickets, as he said, very considerably, we think,
that he wished all his visitors to be as comfort
able as possible, and would not deny them that
privilege for few more fifty cents taken In at
the door.
We have already recited the contents Of the
excellent mensgerie attached to the circus
through which the visitor has to pass before en-
tering the circus-without extra charge, by the
way-and we will devote ourselve entirely to the
circukproper tonight.

received enthusiastically, although it was very
much like all the opening acts OF circus shows,
enhanced, however, by the presence OF half
dozen huge humpbacked camels, ridden by
Enthusiastically attired mvkes.

| no dragging in the acts. but on the contrary all
| the old tangled styles were abandoned and only
| the most pleasing and daring feats retained.
We might go on at this rate to an unlimited
extent, whereas our object lie simply to commend,

Coles circus
Before closing, however, we wish to call the
attention Of those who propose to visit the circus

Pico's grotesque acts. VIM. O'Dales' bareback

ry flying rings act, which are not only surprising
but offer many novel features, and one OF the
finest displays OF acrobatics that we have wit
tossed, and that compare most favorably with
any thing the Hanlon Brothers ever treated us
to. We mean to refer to the graceful and
exquisite act Of the three Snow Brothers.
The performance closed with grand andsm-
posing spectacle presented by Mr.. Conklin, the
lion king, in his cage Of tanned lions and leopard.
a spectacle which is unique, and is introduced
for the first time probably In the world.
We are again wandering further into the sub
ject than we at first intended to, but our apology
is the pleasure we experienced at the show last
night. To-day at noon and tonight at o'clock,
and twice day every day this week, Coles circus
and menagerie will be open.
