FoREPAUGH's CIRCUS.

The Combined Shows Seem to Be the
Amusement Magnet of the Day.
The Forepaugh-Sells circus seems to be
the amusement magnet of the day. The
attendance has increased regularly since
the opening night and will probably con.
tinue so until the conclusion of the en-.
gagement on Saturday night next.
There seems to be no gainsaying the
fact that it is the biggest aggregation of
the kind that has ever pitched canvas in
San francisco. The performances thus
far have given the greatest satisfaction,
and Central Park will more than likely be
the Mecca for the amusement devotees
during the coming week. The arenic per-
formances surpass anything OF the kind
ever seen on the coast, and the geological
department has proven a source of much
interest. The collection of animals meath
the big canvas will find few if any coun-
terparts in the geological gardens of the
world, and in itself is a source of educa-
ton and editication.
The performances in the amphitheater
proper bristles with novelties, an effort
evidently having been made to cast adrift
from the stereotyped features of circuses
of the past. The trained animal per-
formances-the elephants and the seals
have become subjects of conversation
throughout the City. In these two exbi-
bitions the acme OF perfection in animal

"All the mem bers of the commission
were in the best of health"
Mr.. Townsend, when seen at the Palace
Hotel, said:
CDR. Jordan asked me to say to any
newspaper man that he knows of no other
cause so potent in the destruction OF
great seal herd as pelaglc, or ocean, seal
ing EN-, g.,
1894 and thirty-eight vessels entered and
got $1,000 skins. In 1895 fifty-seven
vessels went in and took over 10000 skins.
This year there are seventy vessels in
Boring Sea, but they will not get more
than $4,000 seals. They are bound to
make light catch simply because there are
not seals enough. The catch of the thirty
three vessels boarded between August 10
and "a, amounted to 5000 skins, and at is
for about half the feet at very nearly the
middle of the season.
1.-THE rookeries look bad, and pups are
already beginning to die because their
mothers have been killed while outside
the sixty mile limit hunting fish and pre-
pairing to return to. the Tookeries to suckle
the pups for four or five days before going
out again. The average catch for each ves-
sci is yearly decreasing. This year it will
be 200 skins a vessel smaller than III 1896
There was light catch this season on the
Japan coast. 1t amounted probably to
$4,000 skins. l do not think any more
profitable catches will be made off that
coast.
1.-The Pribylof group of islands north of
the Alaskan archipelago is the great
breeding-ground for the American herd of
seal; the Commander group of islands,
near Kamchatka, on the AsIatic side is
the breeding-ground for the seal herd of
that coast. The seals from both these
great rookeries migrate southwark in
summer without mingling and spread
over great areas of ocean. The Asiatic
herd gets as far south as Yokohama, the
American herd as far south as Santa
Barbara.
Russia's thirty-mile limit and Americas
sixty-miIe limit about the rookeries are in
effectual in preventing the extermination
of the seals. The United States could for
bid any OF its vessels to engage in pelagic
sealing, but Canada might persist in
claiming rights in the open sea. If Canada
has rights it would pay our Government
to buy them.
1.-THE North American Commercial Com
panv, which has the privilege OF taxing
80 600 seals on the Pribylof Islands, pays the
Government $40 for each skin ana gets
about $40 for il. The Pribylof skins taken
from superhuous young males of a COM
mon age are of uniform Eneness OF fur
and are highly priced, while the males,
femaIes and young taken at sea vary much
and bring only hall the price"
