The WALLACE SHOWS

The big tents at River Front were
we'll filed last evening, over 5000 people
attending the first night performance
given 10y the Wallace shows. The me-
nagere of the circus is most complete
and interesting and attracted many
visitors, both before and after the main
entertainment. The circus proper is
certainty one OF the best that has ever
visited this city.
The athletic features were given with
IA precision and daring that found gener-
al favor, while the equestrienne acts
were enthusiastically received. The
trapeze performance by the Fisher
brothers was feature of the entertain
meut. The acts of the Japs, the slack
wire performances and the trick riding
and skating furnished continual amuse-
ment. The entertainment ended by a
series OF races that were decidedly in
terestng.
The manner of conducting she Wal
lace shows seems to be especially pleas
ing to patrons. Last evening every per-
son attending Was carefully looked af-
ter, and not even tha chfnnic grumbler
had any fault to find.
