The Wallace Circus.

1t has come and gone, and thousands
of our people have had a gala day of
fun and frolic. The parade given in
the morning indicated that the per-
Torrance would be good, as all the
paraphanalia, bands, horses, animals
etc. possessed that appearance of pros
perity which denotes a successful
management. The writer attended
the afternoon performance and was
we'll pleased with the same. A num-
Der of new features, which had never
before been presented in this city were
the things that took the public eye,
notably the spring rope tumbler, the
bottle and chair juggler, trained mules,
and lofty trapeze leaping. While We
have seen larger circuses and more
performers, we must congratulate
Wallace & Co. upon the high class OF
their specialists and the orderly man
ner of their conducting the show.
The free performances Immediately
after tine parade were the tamest fea-
lures of the show, and the night per
Torrance is said to have been very
rocky" indeed.
