ton introduced by the management
this year is . grand introductory
spectacle. reproducing with historic
detail the gorgeous military and
classic FESTIVAL of Olympus"-a
veritable replica of the most brill.
liant, sumptuous and dazzling of all
the ancient spectacles. This stupen-
dous display requires the services OF

tional charge for this great feature,
WHICH is entirely separate and dis
tinct from the three-ring circus and
royal Roman hippodrome that are
such distinguishing characters
tics of this unequaled exhi.
bition. Incidentally it may
be mentioned that Ringling Bros
big circus performance is never
abridged. and that the night show is
given in every particular and with
the same minute detail as in the af.
nernoon. This is q practice that can
not be too heartily commended. An.
other notable feature is eutire alb.
sence of disreputable characters on
Ringing day. The management OF
this great show will not permit gam.
bling of any character in or neal

who attend their grand performance

The ordinance for the improvement
Of First avenue and the levee reached
the point Of passage at last nights
council meeting and again went over.
There was q little discussion con-
corning modification of the specifi-
cations during which Mayor Knox
took advantage of the opportunity to
urge delay, and again the project
went over for action at . future time
When the proposition was presented
Aid. Foss made . motion to substi-
tute macadam for concrete for the
foundation, as is the case in other
street Improvements, and the, eby
give the city saving Of $4,000. The
suggestion was approved. Then Aid.
Concannon moved that the section
providing for the paving of Fifteenth
from Second to First avenues and of
First from Fifteenth to Sixteenth be
stricken out. Aid. Winter suggested
stopping the Improvement at Seven
teenth. and then Mayor Knox saw
his chance. The mayor evidently
fails to realize that no matter what
may be his personal feelings the
duty of the executive is to preside
over the council instead of making
suggestions. Now gentlemen" said
he. ..you had better let this matter
be laid over until you all know what
you want"
IL move it be laid over" said Aid.
Tindall.
"A substitute to lay it over will
be in order" suggested the mayor.
Aid. johnson moved as a.substitute
that the ordinance be referred back
to the ordinance committee pending
the disposition of the appropriation
ordinance. The motion prevailed.
We may therefore expect to hear
Of the ordinance tonight after the
appropriations are made, and we
may not. 1t is very evident that
from the condition of city funds the
municipality must guide istelf this
year. The ARGUS has realized this
fromthe first, but the course which
has been urged is to have the improve
ment made in q manner that will
not bring any burden upon the city
this year. and THE ARGUS knows of
contractors who are willing to bid on
the work with that understanding.
There may reasonably be some Sigh,
notifications made in the ordinance,
but in the main it should pass. and
pass tonight. The city has an op.
portunity which will not again be
presented, and in the end it will be
economy to take advantage of it.
Couditio nof tho City's Finances.
City Clerk Huesing submitted his
estimates Of the receipts and expen'
ditures of the city for the ensuing
year. which shows a deficit of 1885,.
224.51, which the city cannot view in
too grave light. Curtailment must
be made somewhere, that much il
certain. unless provision is made fol-

The deficit, too, is shown in the face
Of the fact that during the past year
less public Improvements have been
made than in any previous year.
