 BARNUAf's GREAT SHOW.
 To-day Barnum's great show will visit this city and give afternoon and evening per formances on the Howard avenue lot. There will be accommodations for twenty thousand people, and no doubt the entire space under the great pavilions will be occupied The Bridgeport Farmer of yesterday says of the show
 The arrival of Barnum's circus does not always bring with it the pleasant weather which has been 8 feature of to days pro- ceedings, and it is not to be wondered at, therefore, that large numbers of strangers have continued to arrive during the day. About four hundred came down on the early Housatonic train this morning, and the other roads have contributed their share The first of the circus trains arrived between two and three o'clock this morning, and the work of unloading was not completed until nearly seven o'clock. The street procession performed most praiseworthy act in start ing out on time It passed through the prin- cipal streets, going over the route advertised yesterday. This was arranged by Messrs. Bowser and Brothwell, Mir. Barnum's agents in this city, and was selected because it con- prised the principal streets, did not necessi- tate the crossing of railroad tracks, and would not interfsre with the telegraph wires. The parade was admitted by everybody to be the best ever given in this city. The gilded chariots, stallions, open dens of beasts, "old woman who lived in a shoe,'' Kris Kringle, several bands of music, elephants. camels, dromedaries rich ly costumed outriders, knights, ladies, etc.. formed a glitterlng array and picturesque pageant. But the interest centres In JumbO. The first question is, "Haye you seen Jum- ?'' Probably no monster or human being was ever so extensively advertised as the great Jumbo, and the result is to be seen in the crowds who flock to gaze at him. Hi3to- ries of Jumbo were sold on the streets early this morning Jumbo furniture is offered; Jumbo bunds, whatever they may be, are 1m- posingly announced; and it may truly be called a Jumbo craze.
