and the juggling wonderful. The tw
hours entertainment never tagged iron
first to last. 1t was especially worth.
of note that there was not a word o
act even remotely suggestive of vul
garity or impurity of any kind-and thi
of itself stamps the entertainment a
one of high order. Ifthere were NOR
such in this particular there would b
less prejudice against the tinsel ant
spangles of the sawdust arena.
The press agent, Willis Cobb, a gentle
men by training as well as instinct
spared no pains to make the entertain
ment agreeable to the publishers ant
their families. There was no courtesy
within the scope of possibilities which
! he neglected, and so graciously conferred
that he made one think that it was hi
who was under obligations, not his
guests.
There was, however, one dark blot
upon the circus company, or some of its
hangers on-but to what extent the
managers are responsible the HERALD
cannot say. There was gang OF
,, swindling fakirs plying their nefariors
arts by which great deal of money
was taken by gambling devices, when
the odds were all against the deluded
, ones who were caught by the glitter
ing bate. One man in town lost $50
on the thimble-rig game, and many
| others upon this and similar devices,
dropped from ten to a hundred dollars
each. The heaviest loser procured a
warrant for the arrest OF the swindler,
and the officers tied up the train until
the money was refunded to him, but
scores of Others are out of pocket. No
sympathy need be extended most of the
losers-for they ought to know better,
and were equally guilty in taking hand
in gambling game. The council made
mistake in permitting anything of the
kind in the city.
The four elephants were taken down
to the river on Sunday and Monday
and allowed to have good time dis
porting themselves in the water They
were as trisly and happy as a lot of
kittens and played all sorts of FRANKS, to
the delight of all who saw them.
The twenty cars in the transportation
train were all painted white, and pre-
sented very neat appearance.
The feature of the menagerie which at
tracted the most attention was a couple
of baby leopards, born in captivity in
March last. They were not much
larger than full-grown cats. They were
very handsome and graceful in their
movements.
The audience in the afternoon nnm-
bered four thousand, every seat being
taken. In the evening the attendance
was much smaller, but very fair.
1t is estimated that there were from
five to six thousand people in town on
circus day.
