NEW ATTRACTIONS AT BARNUMS CIRCUS.
Those who content themselves with but one visit TO
the Madison Square Garden while the greatest snow
man has possession thereof do well If they restrain
their natural longings until the last week OF the
season. Then Ii Is that those features are seen
which the difficulties in the way OF crowdng an
eight hours show into One-quarter It's natqrai
limits have hitherto kept In obscurlty by tne lasI
week, however, everything is working smoothly ana
without any loss of time and 1T Is found possible
70 introduce many new acts wltnont p I9longSI1 ~
the performance beyond the two hours assigned TO
1t. recognition OF TINS fact ana the eXcep'loh-
ally fine weather of yesterday caused the immense
building to be crowded in every part, both at the
afternoon and evening performances There was
no diminution perceptible in the applause gwen TO
the performers who have swung ridden, skated or
turned sonersaults into public favor during the
past weeks, while those who made their bows for
the first time received their full share. The
audience shuddered as gayly attired per-
emqated the boarding, house Ely In ms hls
as there is no ceiling in the strict of the term
In the Garden a horizontal bar reminiscent of an
antique gaows served in its place..
The hippOdrOme with all their excite
ment and dash remain unaltered and unabridged
and are, in fact, enlarged by the addition
of a camel race. The strange, ungainly crea-
iures with their swarthy, white-robed Nubian
riders present picturesque appearance as they
shamble around the arena at a far from inslgnlfi-
cant rate of speed. The managers are naturally IN
a state of eation the complete tiasco made by
Philadelphia Snowman in his endeayorto discount
the revered Toung Taoung. The afidaVts of the
men who painted the hated rival are considered by
them to have driven in the nail to its very head.
