THE CIRCUS

Barnum & Bailey's greatest show
on earth was in Bloom on the nth
inst. 1t exhibited in Pottsvile on the
10th, and left there in good time in
the evening, and started up the Cata-
wissa branch of the p. & X. road, but
soon came to a tunnel too small for
its cars, and they had to back out and
60 back to East Mahanoy Junction,
and go around by Sunbury and West
Milton. The result was that the first
section did not reach here until 9
o'clock, and the trains we're not all
unloaded until o'clock. A large
crowd gathered at the ID. l.. & w. de-
pot at 4 o'clock in the morning to see
the trains come in but they were dis
appointed. The delay prevented the
parade, and hundreds Of people
who had come in especially to see this,
went home without attending the show.
1t was three o'clock before the doors
were opened, and the pressure at the
ticket Office was great. Several wom-
en- tainted and some strong men came
near it. The seating capacity of the
tent is said to be fifteen thousand and
nearly every seat was filled. In the
evening about seven thousand people
were present. The performance was
up to its usual high standard, though
owing to the lateness in opening, the
programme was cut considerable.
Pick pockets were busy in the crowd,
and many people lost watches and
money. One man was relieved Of
$I3o. A number Of houses in town
we're visited by sneak thieves during
the circus and more or less goods
we're stolen.
The show closed at ten o'clock in
the evening, and in just one hour
everything had disappeared from the
ground. Loading the wagons on the
cars took some time longer. 1t was
interesting to watch the system with
which the work was done. Every
man had his particular work to do,
and every piece had its own place.
The bosses ordered the men around
like so many cattle, and the immense
canvass was taken down and loaded
on the wagons in short order. The
wagons we're loaded on the cars by a
rope and pulley one team of horses
pulling them up an inclined plane
easily. 1t was four o'clock in the
morning before the last section Of
cars left Bloomsburg, for Wilkes
Barre.
