The Show.
OF course We mean Barnum's Big Show,
that exhibited here on Saturday, for that in
deed is worthy to be spoken of as the Shove
Barnum did not give us better show than he
had last year; that were to exceed himself,
for the exhibition then was as perfect as the
great managers ingenuity and large expert
ence could make it. To all those who love
beauty OF form and limb and action in horse
flesh, the coal black royal Trakene stations,
in their marvellous evolutions, formed the
chief attraction. And then the marvellous
leaping and balancing of the cunning little
ponies; the dashing and graceful equestrian
ism Of Madame Dodkril, truthfully alluded
to as Empress of the arena; the formidable
rival this lady has for the honOrs of the ring
in the daring and almost reckless ridin. of
Signor Sebastian; the great female hurdle
rider, the only one in this country, Linda
Jeal; the acrobatic feats of the Herbert
Brothers the astonishing feats of magic by
the Egyptian jugglers but where, indeed,
shall We stop if we attempt even the merest
mention of the novelties and attractions that
daily and nightly draw admiring crowds be-
meath the friendly folds of the immense can
vass. And still we have not touched upon
the mcnagcrie or the museum. which may be
seen by all who buy ticket for the circus.
And these separately are worth the price Of
admission. With such an exhibition, SO well
managed, it is no wonder that fully eight
thousand people viewed it on Saturday COM
ing from every direction, and giving the city
Il holiday appearance. Some came as far as
forty miles, and their verdict is that they
would have come twice that distance rather
than miss the show.
