Show This Season.
Barnum & Bailey's big tent show
exhibited at the Island bridge park
yesterday afternoon and evening to
immense crowds. The show arrived
from Sistersville some time during
the morning, and the work of remov-
ing to the Island was completed
promptly, enabling the street parade
to start at the time advertised. The
streets were black with people, and it
is doubtful if any show which mas
ever visited Wheeling has given
more creditable. display in this re-
spect. The parade was long, and the
feature showing the demonstration in
honor of the return of Columbus was
very pleasing.
Every railroad entering the city Of
fered special low rates on account Of
the circus, and there were many who
took advantage of this fact. All the
roads brought strangers into the city
who helped to swell the throng which
assembled under the big canvas at the
bridge park. Although no figures on
the attendance were obtainable, it may
be safely said that if Barnum & Bailey
draw elsewhere in proportion, the
show must be a veritable mint this
season. Several thousand dollars were
taken out of Wheeling after the ex-
penses were paid.
The show this year merits the title
of greatest on earth" 1t is bigger
and better than any show which has
ever visited Wheeling, with the pos
sible exception of the same show when
Chang, Jumbo, and the Wild Men Of
Borneo were features.
There was radical departure from
the usual run of things, in more than
one particular, and in no respect more
striking than in the entertainment
which was given in the menagerie
tent. This was very creditable. In
addition to the magnificent exhibit of
rare and costly beasts, there was an
elevated stage and an enclosure where
freaks of nature were exhibited. The
side show features were seen without
the additional expense. Peter, the
small man, is a great curiosity, in
striking contrast to the giantess who
sits next to him. The Orissa twins
are a wonderful freak of nature.
Peter and the Twins were very lively
and animated and played with each
other like little children. There was
also three horned bull and hair
less horse, both very interesting; and
there was a musical entertainment,
varied by feats of magic and illusions.
The circus proper was excellent, and
everybody was well pleased. There
have been better exhibitions in several
respects, but taken as a whole no cir
cuses have given a more pleasing and
satisfactory programme. The most
startling feature was the ring act by
Mr.. O'Brien, in which seventy trained
horses participated, receiving the most
generous outburst of applause during
the performance.
Other features of especial merit in
the ring performances were the aero
battle work of the wonderful Heras
troupe, and the aerial work of the Sell
bons and Zedoras. The trained ele-
plants and other animals and birds
were very pleasing, especially to the
children. The performing hogs and
| the foot ball playing dog were excel
lent.
The show gave general satisfaction
in every respect, more so than any
show which has visited Wheeling in
recent years.
