Wallace Co.'S Menagerie and Circus
exhibited here on Thursday, "a large crowd
attending, Notwithstanding the rain and
wind storm. The show was most re-
markable in the line of horses, and it is
rarely, if ever, that so many fine horses
are seen together. We understand that
they are raised at large horse breeders
establishment in one of the western
states. They showed well on the parade
and beautifully on the track. The riding
and ring performances of all kinds were
good. The display of animals was not as
large as in the Barnum and Forepaugh
shows, but the animals were rare and
beautiful. Reports had been sent here
in regard to pickpockets and gamblers
who were said to accompany the show
but we heard of only two instances where
it was claimed that men were cheated out
of their money Everything was quiet
and orderly on the part of the circus mer
