 The great Barnum & Bailey circus has come and gone. It brought out the usual gate on the streets to "see the circus" At an early hour yesterday forenoon the crowds began to increase on the sidewalks of the streets through which the parade was to pass. The school girls and boys were out in force, and the schoolma'ams had been deluged with notes of excuse. Many of the larger city girls were out also, wearing their jauntiest hats and most fashionable attire. In contrast to these were some of the young people, with less fashionable costumes, from the rural dis tricts, who formed part of the big crowd. Among this class were the patrons of the peanut stands. Certain patrons of the circus are regularly patrons of the peanut vendors, as peanuts for these people seem to be indispensable at the circus, not to mention the huge glasses of red lemonade that shared in claiming attention,
 The parade of the morning was we'll worth seeing There were by actual count in the profession 257 horses and ponies. il elephants,, 13 camels and zebras. Besides these in the cages were the animals sthat' could be plainly seen through the hara of the cages. ( The large golden chariots, <tab5 leau cars and steam calliope swelled the parade to gigantic proportions.
 When the parade reached Chapel and College streets the conduct of the students caused what at one time threatened to stampede the animals and cause a serious panic. Several gated on the steps of Osborn hall and in the University club house.
 The students purchased a quantity of torpedoes and as the caravans, elephants, canaels and horses with riders came along the torpedoes were showered upon them from all directions. The explosives land ed on the elephants's ears and camels' Hanks, soaring them and putting them on the run.
 One of the larger elephants made bold break, lunging to one side and started 8 small stampede. There was lively scrambl- ing among the thousands of spectators, many of whom were women and little children, along the sidewalks. But as mentioned elsewhere some of the Yalen- sians engaged in the cannonade were de- cidedly uneasy last night.
 The mensgerie, in addition to the usual variety of wild animals, contained many very rare specimens of wild beasts. This part of the exhibition was very interesting
 The following are among the animals to be seen in the cages: Double-horned rhi- noceros, ,oryx, ,adjutant wart hog, ,hippopota- mus, nylghau, tapir, large cage of kan garoos, horned horse, giraffe, ibex, black bok, ioness and cubs. Some of the bears are monsters and are among the most val uable specimens in captivity. Other ami mals were hyenas, partners, porcupines, leopards, monkeys in many varieties and deers of several kinds.
 The performances were given in three circus rings and on two stages, making five distinct performances at one time. Performing simultaneously in the three rings were the three Meers sisters, Misses Lillie, Rose and Marie, the most skillful and accomplished equestriennes of all Eu- rope in their champion bareback trick rid ing acts. This was followed by another display which consisted of great Japanese pendulating bamboo perch originalties, by Shonski. Terrific high wire Japanese | slide by Chiyokikic. Especially difficult and artistic high wire originalities and transformations by the young Spanish genius, Nicholas Ceballos. The last named performance was miraculous as he &C., complished his many acts without any balancing pole or other balancing aid. While on the wire he removed slippers, trousers and shirt and appeared in hand some tights. Others of the excellent performers were as follows: The celebrated Carons in a delightful exhibition of Parisian skirt danc- ing-Viola, Lizzie, Al. and George Caron. The manage acts in the three rings by Miss Caron, Miss Rose and John O'Brien excited the greatest admiration. The gray horses performed by MT. O'Brien were very handsome. The black horse rode by Miss Caron is one of the most stylish and graceful horses under the saddle that can be imagined. He is one of five imported from the royal stables of Germany. As none but a lengthy description would do these horses justice, they must be seen to be fully appreciated. John O'Brien's fve-horse tandem act was brilliant and dashing event. He rode one thoroughbred and drove four others in the lead, at flying speed around the track over the hurdles so perfectly as to excite the greatest admiration. The other races were at great speed and very exciting.
 Many other acts not mentioned were than any one pair of eyes could see at one time.
 The afternoon performance concluded with the grand spectacular production "Nero, or the Destruction of Rome. Any ar- rangement of cold type would fail to con- vey an adequate idea of the extent and magnifcence of this most gor- participated in by about five hundred persons, several chariots drawn by two or four horses, and other charac- ters, including senators, patricians, cen sors, augurs, courtiers, guards, gladiators,
 ediles, equities, priests, vestals, chariot eers, wrestlers, jugglers, dancers, singers, acrobats, musicians, artisans, peasants, citizens, prisoners, criminals, freedmen, women, girls, children, wild beasts and horses.
 The advance route of the great show is announced as follows: To day, Holyoke; Wednesday, Pittsfeld; Thursday, Spring field; Friday, Hartford; Saturday, Nor wich; and Boston all next week.
 The performances here yesterday were witnessed by 30, 900 people.
 At Savin Rock.
 MT. J. G. Clark, the conveyancer of this city, who is residing in his cottage at Savin Rock, has gone on flying trip to Omaha. He left last Saturday and expected to re- turn home in about week.
 Sayin Rock is fast emerging from it's winter quietness, and with a few hot days, will thoroughly emerge from it. The shore restaurants had quite a spurt of business on Memorial day, and hundreds visited the Rock yesterday, making 8 holiday of circus day. Among the visitors to the Savin Rock shore yesterday were several people from New Hampshire, who are visiting friends ats MT. and Mrs. Davis, No. IA Edwards street, this city, and who had special desire to see the Rock, it's fame having penetrated into the Granite state.
 The cottagers are little backwardi in oc- cupying their cottages at the shore, which is accounted for by the unusual coo1ness of the season. Lawyer Tyler and wife are occupying their cottage, J. Gardner Clark and wife have been in theirs for several weeks, and few others are dwelling by the sea. Cleans of Light for Those Marginal
