Long before the hour for the perform
anoes in the tent tho crowds began to be-
seige the cars of the electric road. Man
ager Newman was prepared and handled
the thousands of people skilfully and
commodiously. The show is not only up
to the high standard of the BaInum-
Bailey Company, but is some respects ex-
cells any Of the previous entertainments
given by this great organization. Tt
would be impossible to mention all the
various acts. For TWO hours surprise fol-
lowed surprise. The great herd of eie-
phants-the greatest in the country, (and
probably in the show world), were per-
forming in three separate rings OF one
time. The feat of Altar, the slender
young girl, who,is shot from a Cross bow
and caught by a female acrobat hanging
from a trnpeze- fall description of the
feat has lately been published In the
PRESS-sent genuine thrill through
the great audience. Mr.. O'Brion's act
most beautiful and artistic features of
the performance. William Showles's WON
derful bareback riding; the Lamont FAM
lily aorobats the Meers sisters in their
equine acts; Leon LaRoohe in the mys-
terious globe; the Countess Maurovitch
in her most careful menage act, show
ing her control of two spirited horses; the
races OF all kinds; the tumbling and
the acrobatlc acts, the chariot faces, the
race between the thoroughbred horse and
a man these are but few of the orig
inal and daring acts that followed each
other in quick succession. One great
charm of the whole performance was the
novelty of many of the acts and the ease
and grace into which they were per-
formed. Men and women alike were
remarkably well formed and had appar.
emily refinement of manner that Ia not
SO frequently seen in the amusement
world.
The menagerie was especially attrac-
tive. The animals were all in excellent
condition and there were several new to
she oirous-going public. The missing
link" of the Vedda TRIBE. % years old,
who thinks of nothing but his cigars and
his food and who is but two feet four
inches high, the Brahmin Indians who
play love drama and many other out
side attractions, kept the audience busy
for an hour before the circus perform
ance began.
The great tent holds 14,5o0 people.
There were about nine or ten thousand
present in the afternoon, but the capacity
of tho great canvass was fully tried at
night.
The press people are much indebted to
Mr.. Watkins, the press agent for his in
creasing attention and courtesy. We con-
graduate Mr. Bailey on his press repre-
sentative.
