THREE SHOWS IN ONE.

Barnum, Bailey aud HutehinsOn's united shows
opened Yesterday afternoon at the Madison Square
Garden to a crowd Of spectators that tested the
seating eapacity of the building. The interior of
the garden has undergone q transformation since
tha gloomy days OF the international walk and now
has brilliant appearance. The eastern end IS de-
voted 20 the snenagcre and the living curiosities.
Curtains divide hs part from that where the circus
performance takes place Three rings arc used at
one time, and such variety Of performances goes
on simultaneously that II bewders tae spectator 10
try to keep track of them.
Twenty distinct features are preJented.
The dresses Of the performers are rich and inc Trap
plngs of all the animals are finely wrought. The
bareback riding OF Niue. COrdOna, Mime. Dockrill
and Z. Melville, who Is said TO ne the champion OF
the world, was received with great applause. The
performances of tho trained elephants were also
well received. The flying trapeze act oil Howard
and Baisey was loudly appauded and was appa'
rrntIv very daring. The BJisset brothers, the
Dayenes, three wOmsn and one man, ana tPe ~,
cardo brothers perfOrmrd at the same time graceful
posturIug acts. The DaVenes afterward dld some
Derilous acts upon the firing trapeze. general
tumbling act by all the men of the united com
pqutes excited great admiration. The performance OF
Nine Couiona and SeuOC Don Get1nlmo Bell, VINO

pEENrRANCE OF MR.. oW EMS.

The return of Mr.. John L. 0weUs to the New
York stage was effected last night at the Fifth Ave
pue Theatre, and was greeted the arrival OF Az
, old friend. Mr. Owens came forward III
q domestic play Iu four acts entitled,
~That Man from Cattaraugus," and in this
he personsted a simple-minded, kind-hearted.
eccentric farRer, who Is unused TO the customs OF
city life and who therefore. makes comic blunders
when launched in tho drawing-rOOm and ballroom
OF an opaleDt brother.
This psrsonAtion although little prosy-as is apt
to be the case with bacOlic virtne-was full OF
kindly and drcM Aamor, and was very sweetly
tinged with gentle, hoInely humanity. The para
is bas ON conventional pattern. but Of its kind,
1t il good one, and it affords opportunities which,
though they are wholly inadequate 70 the abilities
Of the actor, he improves with excellent effect.
The roots OF the play appear 10 have been
taken from M<s. MowatSs shallow HBd iPstpid
comedy of Fashion, piece that dates eaek to
1885, in the old Park Theatre. Tie uoHHenelature
OF the two pieces is in part ideBtica. aad tre rea-
tiOus of the leading characters are kindred ia both
bat the stories materially unlike.
The idea in both cascs-Sadit it is one that has bean
naed hundred fmes-is 10 place a comic and eceen-
srio countryman AMID the elegant surroundings OF
polite society," and while extracting mirth from the
asain9 contrast to exhibit hiIn possessed OF re-
markable superiority IN wisdom and virtue at the
critical moments of life. Ii is idea that does well
enough for Sunday school story, but everybody
knows that it is absHrd and that the sanity peasant
u.s. If anything ever more tiresouOe than the vapid
paryenue with whom ne is usually cOntrRsted.
The new plsy may be described as kindred in
character with the dresna OF My SON. in which
Mr Gilbert aud afterward w. Raymond acted so
well in the character Of a sanctifed shoemaker. II
b play of quiet domestic coloquieS aud 1t shows
Che development Of prosy character in prosy

truther openly expresses hisTegTet that his rustic

Es tenderness that agc feels toward youthful love
