 Springfield (Pa Press Lees Great Lon- don Show. which exhibited here last Monday was one of the best we have had for years. The parade was excellent, everything looking clean, new and bright, with pleasing features, new to the ordinary circus parade. At the ground everybody was treated with politeness, and every attention paid to make it as pleasant for the audience as possible. The circus per- formance, given in one large ring and on an elevated stage was first class in every respect, and far ahead of the usual travehng show One of the principal features was the display of fine horses connected with the show. We will be glad to welcome the Lee show again at any time.
