THE CIRCUS.
1t Drew a Good Crowd and was y
Good Show.
The throng of citizens of all classes that
always attends circus, regardless as to
quantity or quality or the condition of the
weather, crowded the principal streets yes
terday. 1t was hot enough for the vendors
of lemonade to do big business, and pleasant
enough for everybody to be out in his
good clothes, and the opportunity was not
lost on the part of either class. When the
man in the cage with the big lion and the
girl covered with red tights and boa con-
strict0rs were seen in the procession, the
crowd became little more dense and the
small boys that kept alongside were little
louder than usual in their eXclamatiOns OF
applause. The procession started
shortly after 10 o'clock, and its
course about the city could be located in a
general way by the shrill screenings OF that
alleged musical instrument. the steam cal
Hope. The procession made good display,
varying from most of such demonstrations
by actually having some of the coverings off
the cages and giving the public free exhi-
bition of the animals, which were as body
good collection.
When the ropes were taken away from
the entrance to the main tent crowd had
already gathered and was clamoring for adj
mission, and the receipts at the box office
were correspondingly good.
The exhibition in the rings was OF con-
siderable merit, the SawduSt artists being
numerous and skillful. When the woman with
the iron jaw made the descent from the
apex of the tent to the ground supported
solely by her teeth there was great ap-
plause, and the graceful recklessnesS of the
bareback rider, Cole, was fully appre-
ciated. The trapeze performances were
above the standard and everybody went
away satisfied, evidently feeling that they
had their moneys worth. Two perform
ances were given, each before a tentful OF
people.

A Horse Thief Caught.
Frank Clark, according to his own story,
came from Jefferson City, Ia, few days
ago and unpacked his collarbox in the
wicked city of Minneapolis. He was at
that time groaning under the weight of
about $9S in solid cash. He had not been
in the city long before the $SS were spent
and then he began to evolve a scheme to
repleniSh his exchequer. Hearing of the
circus in st. Paul yesterday he concluded
to come over, hiring for the day fine
horse and buggy from North Minneapolis
livery stable. On his way to st.
Paul he conceived the bright
scheme of selling the horse and
leaving with the money. He spent most of
the day in West St. Paul trying to dispose
of the rig for $125. Not finding buyer he
left the buggy on the West side, brought
the horse over and tied him on SIKH street,
then returned to look after the buggy.
Meantime Officer Jerry" Sullivan heard
of the young man and his anxiety to sell
the horse and concluded to lie in wait for
the gentleman and finally arrested him. He
acknowledged the offense and told where
the horse was to be found. By thus cap
turing Clark, Officer Sullivan will probably
receive the $500 reward offered for the cap
trre of horse thieves.
