the circus parade was passing. |
The small boy was every where /
and had many narrow escapes from |
being Injured. Long before the time for |
the parade to start the pavements and
grester part of the streets along the route |
were crowded with people. When the |
advance of the parade was seen the cry, |
Here it comes, WAS carried all along |
the line and a rush was Immediately |
msde for the street. The parade |
was a great, brilliant and glittering pro-
cession. Many of the cages were open
and the wild and ferocious animals were
viewed with wonder and admiration. The
clowns we're dressed as gaudily as usual
and pleased the small boy Immensely.
A great number Of men and boys fol
lowed the show to the grounds. There
the cry, Fresh roasted peanuts, ice cold
lemonade" and the shouts Of other
venders filed the air.
All the tents we're up and nearly every
thing was In readiness early this morning
| for the afternoon performances. The chief
/ places Of attraction to the crowd were
the horse tents, In these tents are about
400 fine ring and draught hor5es Each
kind of horse his its tent
The usual free show was given after the
parade. The side show men were In
their glory, and proclaimed to the crowds
OF gaping people the wonders TO be seen
inside. There will be two performances
given, one at 2 o'clock and the other at
s p m. The doors will be opened an
hour earlier so that the menagerie, horse
fair and museum can be seen.
