 CoUP's GREAT SHOW.
 Coups great show gave two first-clsss ex- hibitions in this city yesterday under their mammoth canvas pavilion at the vacant lot show grounds, next the ball grounds on How. ard avenue. Both performances drew large audiences despite strong indications of 8 rain storm. The show well fulfilled the high anticipations based on the merit of MT.

Among these was the hippodrome section of the entertainment, which warmed the interest of the assembled thousands to high pitch, and the hearty emulation between the contestants provok- ing tumultuous excitement and applause all over the auditorium. The audience sat with breathless expectation and quiet for the Lulu feat upon the announcement by MT. Evarts, one of the most able and popular press agents in the country, and his request that stiffness should reign in order that the order might be heard The great engine or ''catapult'' was operated amid profound stiffness, and the intrepid Lulu shot through the air 100 feet as if fired from gun, landing on 8 net ting and retiring amid great applause.
 | young ladies, the running race between three young jockeys, the Roman chariot race, two chariots four horses each, a lady and gen. tleman driving respectively, and other racing features excited the audience to 8 high pitch of enthusiasm. In the main rings daring feats of riding and tumbling and interesting trick nerformances were continually given, while on the hippodrome track exciting char tot races, hurdle races, bareback riding, etc., took place. Among the most noticeable fea- lures were the bareback riding of the Melvilles, George creatlng the highest enthusiasm, and the grand trotting feat of James being greeted with applause The war dances of the Zulus were highly ap- nrec;ated- and their skill in throwing the as- sepai is truly wonderful. The trained animals, the ponies, the educated dogs and Juke's automatic museum were also pleasing and amusing features of the entertainment. Miss Kate and Miss Emma Stokes appeared to excellent advantage in their graceful eouestrienne performances.
