CROWDS AT THE CIRCUS.
Extra Attractions Are Added to the
Programme

Sorry, sir. that we can't accommodate
you, but there are no reserved seats left;
the last seat was sold twenty minutes
ago" Such was the answer given to a
would-be purchaser at Mains circus last
night.
That shows that the people of San
Francisco appreciate a good circus said
Press Agent Harrison. I'VE have prom
ised them a show where every act is
feature. and we have kept our word, AMI
in return they have shown US that San
Francisco deserves its reputation-that of
being one of the best show towns in the
country. Mr.. Main has lived up to his
promise, and he advertises only what he
shows.
The closing nights of Mains circus find
the tents as crowded as on the opening
night. Interest never WaneS from the
beginning of the entertainment until the
last race has been run. General Shafter
was an interested spectator last night
and warmly applauded the Rough Rid
as their act is without doubt the strongest
as we'll as the most novel performance
of the kind seen here.
A feature that deserves more than pass
ing mention is the band. All the old-time
Worn-out circus music is cut out and it
has been the aim of the leader. Professor
John H. Gill, who, by the way, is the
youngest band leader in America. to play
nothing but up-to-date music. Professor
Gill gives promise of becoming one of the
foremost band leaders in the country.
This afternoon there will be a matinee
and tonight a farewell performance will
be given. Heretofore 1t has been the GUS
tom to cut the programme on closing
nights, but Mr.. Main has inaugurated 4
new departure in this that instead of a
short performance several new features
will be added, making the closing night
the strongest of the season

price three and one-half cents a pound in
Chinatown. Chinaware and various other

than one amusing tale.
There was financial agent of
the penitentiary who had warm
ly opposed the election of Gov
ernor Houston, but was particu-
larly anxious to retain his own
pleasantly lucrative position.
Consequently the governor was
soon in receipt of Il Petition in
which the mans years of faith
full service and special qualifica-
tions for the place were set forth
in glowing terms by himself.
The governor sent for him and
said gravely, cit appears from
this petition that you have been
in the penitentiary eight years. "
81 have" was the reply.
"And during that time you
have performed faithfully every
duty that has come in your way
to the best of your ability"
81 have, answered the agent,
his courage swiftly rising,
