l Large Street Parade - Immense , Crowds In Attendance-A Fine Show in All Respects.
 The great and only Barnum & Bailey's lrcus has come sand gone, leaving sub ect of street-corner conversation for the est of the week. The excitement began morning when a large crowd at the old Starin wharf to watch the operations of unloading and perhaps to catch an occasional glimpse of some of the "animiles." This part of the day's program having been completed, the crowds began to gather on Elm and Chapel streets to see the street parade. The crowd along these streets Is said to have been the largest gathered in the streets of New Haven for a long time. At about 1915 o'clock the van guard of the parade hove in view, escorted by a motley crowd of wide-eyed urchins. The street pageant | was very good among the most notable fea- lures being the impersonation of rulers of various nations, who were represented in their national costumes and colors, nearly all being made up from natives of their respective countries. As early as 12 o'clock the multitude began vending its way to upper Elm street, where the circus tents were pitched, and at the time of the opening of the show the seating capacity was taxed to it's utmost, there being nearly 15,O00 people in the main tent. In this au- dience were large numbers of children, who vented their delight at the comical acts of the clowns and the donkeys ridden by the monkeys in shouts of applause and screams of laughter.
 The program of the afternoons enter ta!nment was very extensive, containing thirty different numbers, each of which presented some new attraction.
 The opening event was perhaps one of the most pleasing features of the enter tainment. It was called the "Grand Pa geant of the Nations,"' which was some what like that shown in the street parade. The exhibition of the wonderful per formancs of trained elephants also at tracted much admiration. They were handled by William Newman and George Bates, two famous trainers.
 Miss Rose Meero, in her most taking and | celebrated bareback jockey act, was greeted l with applause. She did many seemingly ! impossible feats, and ended by lespipg ! from the ground and slightinR on the back | of her galloping horse.
 The exhibition of trained horses, dogs and ponies showed to what high degree dumb animals can be educated, some of
 the performances of the horse being truly
 wonderful.
 The trapezs work and aerial performance
 elicited rounds of applause for some of the daring feats presented. The daring work
 by the three Eugenes was witnessed with
 intense interest and warmly spplauded.
 The latter part of the program wss devot-
 ed to different sorts of races and an exht
 bition of the skillfull horsemanship of the Cossacks. The races were all extremely
 interesting, many of the participants being
 lady drivers who showed much skill 1T
 their easy management of the spirited
 horses.

 and deeply interesting feature of the show l not excepting the boomerang throwers, ,anc Chiko and Johanna's cage was visited bl
