Four Thousand People Rash Madly
About Through = Large Tent.
NEW HAVEN, May 15.-The tent Of
the Washburn & Arlington circus was
nearly blown down by the storm last
night. The rain poured through the
canvas in torrents and the widest dis
order prevailed. Women screamed and
mothers who had brought their little
ones with them picked them up in
their arms for safety. Men and boys
jumped from their seats into the ring,
driving the performers from it, and in q
moment nearly every one of the 1900
people present was rushing towards
the main entrance.
There they became jammed together
and in their wild rush the benches for a
distance of twenty feet on each side Of
the entrance were torn down and walk
ed over The yells of the half crazy
men and boys and the shrieks of the
frightened women and children were
mingled with the roar Of the storm. The
attaches of the circus were rushing
about here and there Strengthening the
pole by driving extra stakes into the
ground and fastening ropes from differ
emit points, and advising every one to
leave the tent at once, as the manage
ment would not be responsible for the
lives Of those who remained inside.
To make matters worse the lights
were lowered and extinguished with the
exception of one thus leaving almost
absolute darkness for those OF the audi.
ence who had been unable to leave the
tent. Several ladies tainted, but wetl
removed from the tent In DAfety. Nc
serious accidents are reported.

In some cases the skin becomes hot

there are sharp pains, front and back,

Thcy Arc Fine Birds and Formidable
Rivrls Of the Toulouse Breed.
Although the gray or Toulouse goose
may be regarded as the more popular
and, probably on account Of its size, the
most profitable, it has q formidable
rival in the white or Embden variety,
which is very fine in quality, but does
not attain to the same size. This does
not always appear 20 have been the
case, for old Moubray says: "The
white appears to be the largest, IL not
the heaviest, of its kind, and, some may
even add, the prettiest, too, though that
must clearly be judged as a matter Of
taste only"
The same writer goes on to say tina,
the Embden takes its name from the
Hanoverian town whence it was, many
years since, imported, and whence, as
also from some parts Of Prussia and Hol'
land, we still continue to draw supplies.
1t differs in no respect from the common
English goose, having precisely the
same form and shape, the same pure
white plumage, the same rich red bill,
legs, feet and webs; indeed, although it
has been digniaed by the title Of a dis

PRIZE EMBpEN GOOSE.

tinct variety, it modestly puts forth no
such ~pretensions itself, and the honor
has been clearly thrust upon 1T. But all
white plumaged geese come under the de-
nominationof Emblem, except the Irish,
which are not so designated. They are,
however, smaller than the true Embden,
but IN no other respect differ from them,
and therefore are not a distinct variety.
OF course white geese have one decided
advantage over the gray, n~amely-their
feathers are of much more value. AS
this is an important point their breed
ing should be encouraged, ever though
they do not attain the same size as the
Toulouse. The question of size could
soon be remedied by careful breeding,
but the geese required for the early
markets can be best supplied by birds Of
I variety, as they grow more rapidly.
there can be no doubt, however, that
for the later markets in this country
tho Toulouse will be able to hold its
OWN, for size is then of great impor-
tancc. do not know that this is a wise
or well-regulated demand, for the largest
have seldom the finest flavor, and nat
uro seems to hold a balance in all
things, for when she gives excess of
size she seldom gives with it the same
quality, and a well-fed Embden is a
juicy and tender fowl, with the highest
of quality. Specimens of this breed do
not often attain more than nineteen or
twenty pounds, but at times heavier
birds have Nnen found. At one time the
weights of all the waterfowl were taken
at the Birmingham show, and though
many of the birds were undoubtedly
grossly crammed because of the inlu-
ence the scales had in determining the
prizes, for which reason the system was
given up, yet there are many interest
ing features about the plan, and a rec
ord could be kept from year to year Of
the weights attained. 1t is to be noted,
however, thatone of the highest weights
ever recorded at this show was for a
pair OF Embdens, namely, fifty-seven
pounds the pair, which was the weight
of the first prize pen at the Birming.
