or circus exhibition, presents several
features which Gyo IsCrtBy the attention
OF those who have seen them all and thlnk
they know all about circuses. Of these we
have space TO mention only few Of the most
prominent. There are equestrian acrobatics,
gymnastics, teats OF strength, trapeze acts,
wire balancing, animal acts, evolutions and
conioaiities 10y clowns. The most brilliant
riding acts are by Mr.. Frank Melville, son of
the elder Melville, and worthy OF the name.
He does two acts. graceful bareback, act
and a bounding jockey act, ia which latter
performance the feat of jumping from
the arena to his horses back square or his
feet. Miss Louise Boshsll does her graceful
act on the eiack-wIre, and is a picture of
beauty This is ont Of the line of usual ring
performances, and can be seen nowhere else,
for there is but one Louise Boshell. There
are two female rideTs-Mme. ROLAND and
Nine. Berdeau-and other equestrian fea-
lures. 1T is great show"
