dust ring 70 the rafters, There were
three rings, one toward the Madison
and two near the fifth-avenue entrance. An
elevated stage, on which acrobatic feats were
performed, stood In the centre OF the building.
The programme, which was printed on pink
tinted sheet about the size OF the EUeniRl
Telegram, was religiously carried out with one
exception. The rhlnoceros did not walk
around his cage with a Zulu spitted on his
horn. This was disappointment TO many
people from Thompson street, who had come
purposely TO witness the feat. There were
two grand professions at tho open-
Ing of the show --one OF aui-
mails, the other of men. In the first
enough elephants TO form a squadron OF heavy
cavalry of an Eastern Prince, supplemented
by division OF Egyptian dromedartes, were
followed by all the wild animals ever gathered
in Noah's ark. In the second, Colonel Goshen,
ihe tattooed man, Indians, Zulus, fat boys,
Albinos and other grOtesque people, marched

Maurice Candy, by his solicitor, Mr.
Amos Broadux, to-day entered chancery
suit against Hon. II. M. Teller, Secretary of
the Interior, and Hon. L. M. Marble, Com
mission of Patents. The bill is brought
under section 4915 of the Revised Statutes
to obtain patent. The plaintiff represents
that he is citizen of Liverpool, and COM
plains that before December 1, 1877, he was
the original inventor in certain improve
ments in belts or bands for driving ma.
chinery and in the manufacture of the
same. On the above date he filed an appli-
cation with the Commissioner for IL patent,
but after due proceedings by the examiner
the application was rejected. He
appealed TO the Commissioner, who affirmed
the decision of the examiner. The plaintiff
appealed from this decision to the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, and q
decision was there made adverse to the
applicant ON the ground that the invention
was not new, and, therefore, not patentable.
The plaintiff insists that the invention is
new within the meaning Of the law, and
that the patents said to anticipate the
same do not do SO. He claims that the ap-
plication was unjustly rejected, and prays
q decree granting him such relief as may
be warranted by the premises. He further
asks that the Secretary of the Interior and
Commissioner of Patents may be command
ed to appear in court and make answer.
