FOREPAUGH'S SHOW.

Forepaugha Circus and Menagerie, to
which the faithful chronicer of the APPEAL
has called frequent attention of late, made It's
appearance here yesterday in grand street
pageant, followed IN the afternoon by well
patronized matinee, and closing at night with
tbs same, with a few minor additions, as last
season, Is the best ever seen here. The ring
performance, embracing about fourteen acts,
Is up to the average, but not beyond 1t. The
double trspeze, by Hawley and Forepaugh,
closing with the thrilling act of the Niagara
Leap by the former, was a startling perform
auce The leaping, which was participated
in by about ton first class leapers, was excel
lent, one of the principals turning neat
double somersault over several horses and a
pyramid of men The horizontal bar, in
which act Dunbar turned double somersault
from the bar, was as good as we have ever
sect. Dutton did a good four-horse act.
Melville is an elegant bareback rider, and
introduced some new and very clever featS as
the Bounding Jockey" he has the grace
of Fish, but hardly the daring The five
performing elephants, introduced by young
Forepaugh, are really the best feature of the
ring part Of the entertainment. Barry and
Hart, tho clowns, introduced some new jokes
almost an objectionable introduction--and
kept the audience in splendid humor. The
ring performance is hardly up to the Fore
paugh standard, certainly not as good as it
was last season, but az whole the show will
give satisfaction.

CAME TO THE CIRCUS.

1t vas very evident early yesterday morn
ing that something out of the common order
of events was about to transpire. Nothing
but circus could have produced such Sell
sation in Carson The sidewalks were crowded
with people by early breakfast time; the
bucolic delegations were here i'll full strength,
not delegate to the circus convention being
represented by proxy Walker River pre-
cinct was never better represented. Trout
went begging and smelling to heaven yester-
day for purchasers. The fish market WAS
glutted, thanks to our aboriginal friend, Mr.
Washoe, who must have Il circus stake even
if he has to 60 hooking for it. Did it even
strike you, most atfectionate of readers, that
lust about circus season there is Il wonderful
interest taken i'll the children, all of whom
must be shown the circus! We saw three
able bodied men and four healthy looking
women in charge of two very small children
yesterday, and one of the grown frauds had
the effrontery to tell us that to him Il circus
was bore, but the children, you know, must
see it. Out upon such hypocricy! Why not
play fair, admit that the circus is as full
ever of charms to US, and even if it's MOI
fashionable we all want to see it! All Western
towns are clrcussy, 80 to speak, but we doubt
if any other place of its size in the world CAL
equal Carson in its support of horse opera. =
