SPEAKING of Barnum's circus, the New
York Tribune says: The interior of the
Madison Square Garden showed last night
that it has been thoroughly altered since
the performance on Saturday night. An
other ring had been added, so that now
there are three rings and sage. Outside
Of these rings is the track ior the races.
The building was packed on the occasion
of the first night Of the Roman Hippo
drome. In the early part of the programme
there were few changes. More things were
going on at the same time than any one
person could keep track of. Standing ut
the entrance and looking down the length
OF the building ore seemed to be looking
through kaleidoscope, or, as one OF the
men expressed, il, Seems as though you
was looking through a decalcomanle.
After the performances in the rings the
spectators rose up in their seats and watt
ed impatiently for the races to begin.
There were chariot races, e. )hant races,
obstacle races and wheelbarrUw races. In
the obstacle race the employees OF the circus
ran around the track climb ng over creased
bars, crawling under pO.es, clamberlng
through barrels, jumping over hurdles,
and picking their way through nets until
everybody thought they would drop down
from sheer exhaustion. 1t was funny
sight and vastly spplauded.
