London, and, arriving by the New | ork, New Haven X Hartford road at Morrisania. at an early hour on Tuesday morning, will proceed, probably, through Lexington aven- ue down to the Brooklyn Bridge; thence along Furman street, Brook Iyn 10 the Anchor Line wharf, where it will be placed on board the Steamer Furnessia. Two hnn- dred and forty people connected with the show will also go to Lon don on this ship, while on the steamer City of Rome. sailing Wednesday next, 60 of the attach es will take passage.
 The arrangements Tor transport ing the big show are most thorough and complete, as the hazardous na- ture of the undertaking requires. SIX huge boxes, each l2X10 feet, haze been built, each to contain m elephant. When placed on board ship these boxes will he set F feet apart, the space in each interval and at each end of tn" TOW forming another box in which an elephant vii also be placed, and thus the six boxes will be equivalent 0 fhlr teen, the number of elephants to b. taken. The camels and horses will be placed Tn a series of stalls distributed all over the main deck of tne vessel The cages contain ing the animals. after first being detached from tbeir running gear, will be placed side by slde, with sufficient space between 10 permit the attendants to feed the bea is and attend to their other wants. An idea of the quantity of food re- quired for the horses and wlid beasts may be obtaIned from this list: Eighty tons of hay, 2,000 bushels of oats, 6 tons of straw, 6 tons ot bran, 9 bushels of corn, 20 bales of peat moss, 30 barrels ot carrots, 6,0o0 pounds of fresh beef, l, 300 pounds of fresh fish, b bar rels of potatoes, l50 eabbages, 5000 pounds of fresh bread, l0 barrels ot sweet apples. 3 barrels of onions. : barrels of tnrnIps, 20 barrels ot sea #b'scuits,ss l0o cans Of condensed milk, 1 sacks Of salt, and 50 pounds of Glauoer salt. All the meat ant i fish wlll have 10 be frozen first and then placed between layers ot ice in huge refrigerators huIl, espeeial- ly fer the purpose. The condensed milk is for the monkeys, the porlal bear. &c.
 The cost of taking the show to Europe is heavier than any other O organization ever incurred in a sim liar enterprise. Every little move ment here or abroad IS attended with consid erabIe outlay. For nearly four months an average of sl 50 a day has been spent for cable dispatches. The advertising ma- terial to be trlbuted free in Lon- don has alreaday cost Sl66,o00, The new costumes, including those made Tn Paris for Klralfy's Nero, ; m which spectacle, by the way, 800 people will appear--and those for the circus department have cos; 0,000. Altogether the expenses ofthe show before a singh pertor, nance is given will foot mp quite s350, ,000, exclusive of salaries, and all this for probable season of loo days. The estlMated expen- ses for the London season, calculat- ing s6,S00 day for the elrcus, wlIl be nearly Sl2 1000 day; but Mr. Bailey says:
 sI don't care for the expense, even if loose slOO, ,o00. I just want to show the people of Europe what 8 big thing is. We know it in this country, but they do not over there. New York Sun.
