WAS 4 GREAT CIRCUS.


 A large number of people of New Ha- ven yesterday had the pleasure of wit messing one of the very best circus per- formanoes that has ever been given in this city. It Is estimated that fully $500 people were at the afternoon per formance, and there was even larger number present in the evening. The street parade, which took place in the morning, was viewed by at least 1,50O people as 1t passed down Elm street by the green, and was one of the longest circus parades ever given In this city, as we'll as the most gorgeous. There were gilded wagons and chariots, the usual number of cages of wild animals, bands, steam calliope, chimes, ele- plants, dromedaries and two of the proverbial clowns, who were followed | by about fifty small boys and provok- | ing no end of fun and amusement in | the onlookers. The leading actors of 1 the circus were not compelled to ride on horse back, dressed In gaudy attire, as formerly, but rode In ordinary car riages, presenting much better ap- pearance than the old form of display, | The procession passed through Elm, | St. John, Olive and Greene streets, wooster Place, Chapel street and Sher- | man avenue, and while 1t was passing l traffic was blocked in the center of the city.

 The name of Liberti is enough to show
 the music must have been of high or. der of excellence, but to be in any meas ure appreciated it must have beer heard. Signor Liberatis solos were es pecially worthy of praise. Liberati is
 well known as one of the foremost band
 leaders in the country, and Ringing
 Brothers are to be congratulated as
 we'll as praised for having attached such an eminent musician to his cir. GUS.
 The circus performance proper began at o'clock promptly. Al. Ringing acted as equestrian director. The first
 event was the grand opening tourna, ment in the rings and upon the hip. podrome track. It was truly a gor
 geous spectacle, and one calculated tt inspire the beholder with wonder an6 admiration. The event concluded witt
 a series of artistic groupings on the revolving pedestal by Charles and Marie
 Neville. Tn the second event the Japa
 nese occupied all three rings. A. Kimo | lO dDu SUI WClIL llliOu6A WILL ulilquS Japanese ladder specialties. F'fzo ant
