THE GREAT SHOW.

Notwithstanding the dampening prospect
and the dashes of rain that now and then
came from threatening looking clouds the
streets of the city were early yesterday morn
ing thronged by crowds of strangers and resi-
DENTS all eager to catch glimpse of the
e7at4ee of the "great and moral show" The
route of the procession was necessarily made
short and much of the gorgeousness which
would have been displayed had the weather
been suitable, was absent But the parade
was fine one and greatly pleased the gaping
crowd. The large number of ele-
plants were enough in themselves to
make a great show, and with
the great number of fine horses,
CHAIR is and cages of wild animals, with now
and then rash keeper sitting in among
them, the parade was more attractive than
could have reasonably been expected. The
afternoon performance was attended by a
grand audience of people, and in the evening
still larger number poured into the spa
cious tents, until solid sea of humanity en-
circled the enclosure from the roof of the tent
to the edge of the race track, every available
seat being occupied No circus ever visited
this city and gave greater satisfaction to the
multitude. Everything, from Jumbo
down. was immense. The statements
regarding this wonderful animal have
in no sense been exaggerated. and
thousands of people gazed at him in utter
establishment. although they had been pre-
pared to see the Largest known elephant In
the world" Other portions of the menagerie
which comprises large lot of rare and won
derful animals, also came in for their share of
attention. The ring performances were also
in keeping with the rest of the show, and
some of the feats were marvellous and aston
ishing requiring wonderful courage and
strength. The performance of the trained
elephants was unusually fine and interesting,
an amount of intelligence in the
ponderous beasts that some members of the
human family might be proud Of In the
three rings at once acts of skill and daring
which made one forget to eat his peanuts
were constantly going on, and the only thing
to be regretted was the fact that spectators
were not prepared with three pairs of eyes
that they might take it all in. The chariot
and other races which followed the ring per-
formances were carried out with O spirit and
reality that excited and aroused the trenen-
1ous audience to enthusiasm, and the winners
rode off with their laurels amid shouts of APP
olause, The whole performance was the
greatest ever witnessed in this city, and gave
much satisfaction to all who attended.
