HIGH PRAISE INDEED.
The Spectators and the Entertainment Are Both Remarkable at the
 Circus.

We have the excellent authority of the New York Sun for the statement which fol- lows about the wonderful show of Barnum & Bailey which will exhibit here on Satur- day. May %.
 The spectators are a brilliant part of the Barnum & Bailey show at Madison Square Garden. No gathering in that great buiid- ing, not even at the horse or dog exhibition, have brought together assemblages more positively fashionable. The boxes are near ly all filled at every performance by circus parties children predominating in the af- ternoons, while finely clothed and hammered adults compose the evening groups. The entertainment is good as any that the Barnum & Bailey firm has ever presented, and in smoothness and celerity 1t is an i'm provement on former seasons. From the opening of the doors until o'clock the crowds pass through the menagerie, which is an excellent collection, containing not on- ly the hardier beasts common to the shows, but a number of creatures-such as the rht- noceros hippppotamus, and the giraffe-not often seen in captivity. The accommoda- tions of the Garden suit themselves admir- ably to the requirements, for the stalls serve for a good incidental display of circus horses and ponies The arena diversion be- gins at o'clock with three rings and three platforms, and not a moment is lost in the very rapid succession of feats in gymnas- tics, equestrianism, and the training of ani- mals which has been described in the Sun as a big affair. The new, clean attractive in- teror of the Garden gives to this huge entertainment an air of gentility and refine- ment quite in keeping with the audience. Johanna, the famous gorilla, is the only creature of it's kind in captivity in the world, and is startlingly human-ike in ev- erything. The 70 trained horses which per form many marvellous feats at the same time in the same ring, the three herds of ed- ucated elephants, and the new entertain ment with its picturesque features are all
