| throngs OF people. Main street sidewalks
for squares was blocked with white and
colored, old and young persons, to witness
the grand street parade of the j. B. Doris
circus. There had been SO many contradict
| tory rufnors as to the extent and value of
this show that curiosity desired and de-
| termlned to be satisfied. Advertisements
by its rival added zest to the affair and
| brought the Doris institution all the more
prominently into notice. And it Is only
speaking the general verdict to say that the
street parade far surpassed the public
thought. Many were heard TO observe that
| it was the best ever seen in Dallas. The
wagons aud Gagged animals were numerous
and ali iu splendid condition and the march
was along while in passing any one given
spot.
TEE PERFORMANCE.
Notwithstanding the immense number
of people who attended Coles circus on
Saturday, there was no let up yesterday In
the way of attendance at the great estab.
lishment of Doris. 1t was thought that
one circus, ard that too, giving its exhibit
ton Oh Saturday, when SO
many persons from the country came to the
city, and which is sort OF halt holiday with
many of the laboring class, was about as
much ns our people could or would patron
ize. But despite all that, every seat in the
vast tent was taken, even every reserved
seat Nor were. the visitors in the least dis
appointed in what they went to see, and for
fall two hours they witnessed
all manner OF feats as advertised,
while the character of the work exceeded
their expectations from the more modest
and less extensive promises. The erial
queen. Mile Tournour, in her wonderful
and daring trspeZe high in air performance,
ELECTED the highest communication as she
went through man@uvres that were posi-
lively thrilling. Mademoiselle Zazel in her
unapproachable wire-walking some forty
feet above the ground and the being shot
out OF a cannon brought applause after
applause. The lightning hurdle
act by William shoals justly
entities him to the reputation
he bears of being the acknowledged cham
pion of all the bareback riders in the coun-
try. The acrobatic feats were especially
good, and the young Seigrist brothers have
not been surpassed in any circus. The
same may be said of the leaping and sum-
ersaultng by the Rice brothers. Misses
Tally Marks and Ella Stokes are eques.
