The Great p. L. Barnum Show.

OF the great shows which come here on
Friday, July oath, it has been time and
again said that they have never been equalled
in magniticence or size. This is again
vouched for by the NeW York EyeniRg Teie-
grdm, which says " 1t cannot be denied
that p. 7. Barnum's circus is always
powerful attraction. Even hard times can
not deter people from going to see its won
ders. Therefore there were thousands in
the garden, and the season was opened with
eclat, and will, doubtless, progress satisfac-
torily to all engaged or interested. The
procession was as usual, grand, and the
little folks who were present in large num-
bers applauded and crOwed with delight.
To Jumbo they gave special ovation, and
measured him with their eyes to determine
whether he had really grown two feet, as
they had heard, or no. They viewed him
with awe and sort of sadness when they
thought that he might possibly grow too
big to be presentable in future years But
they were filled with hope when they OBJ
served that he was Just as amable as ever
and quite as willing to carry the boys
around on his back as he was last spring
After Jumbo's withdrawal the great acts in
the three rings and on the stage went for
ward, and bewildered as well as pleased
the spectators. A buzz of suppressed emo
ton, "A shout, succeeded by a burst of APP
plause, greeted six thoroughbred hunters as
they tore around the newly-made track in
the Madison Square Garden last night, thus
successfully sending along Barnum's Great
Roman Hippodrome. Fully seven thou
sand five hundred persons watched the
horses as they went around the track three
times, neck and-neck, and hundreds of we'll
dressed ladies, who with their escorts, occu-
pied the boxes lining the course, greeted
with waving handkerchiefs Gibon, ridden
by j. Nelson, as he won by a neck. Conf
cal indeed was the monkey jockey race,
and shouts of laughter accompanied the
little Jockeys around the track as they chung
to the necks of the Shetland ponies. Al
Carron, the well-known sprinter, won his
race against a horse, and Miss Rosaline
Stckney, who rode Dohlman, though last
at the start, came in ahead in the ladies'
fiat race. The two most exciting events
were the double-team Roman standing race
and the four-horse Roman chariot race.
The cattle, the camel, the elephant and the
obstacle races all caused considerable mer-
rment."
