THE CIRCUS.
A Good, Clean Show. No Gambling
Schemes and Fakirs.

Schemes and Fakirs.
Saturday was circus day in Dawson,
and one of the largest crowds ever seen
here jostled and surged in the streets.
Pedestrians, horseback riders and people
! in all kinds of vehicles came from neigh
boring counties, towns and villages to
see "The Great Wallace Shows" and
when they had all arrived the number
was variously estimated at from 5000 to
10000.
The circus came from Troy, Ala, and
did not reach Dawson until II O'Clock
Saturday morning, a delay of several
hours being caused by the train staliing
near Georgetown. The load was too
heavy for the engines that were pulling
the big show, and stop had to be taken
until other engines could be sent to the
rescue.
The parade, owing to the late arrival
of the circus, did not occur until after 2
O'Clock, but when the ghttering pageant
appeared on Main street there was prom
Use in it of frst-class show. The pro-
cession was long one, and required
about twenty minutes in which to pass
given point.
Under the tents everything that had
been advertised was shown. The animal
exhibit was COON one. The elephants,
camels, zebras, lions and tigers were a,
fine specimens as were ever seen,
and there were yaks, deer, wild boars
from German forests, leOpards, panthers,
monkeys, etc. The circus was in two
rings and many features too numerous
to mention were presented, among them
horseback and somersault riding, double
concortion act in mid air, flying trapeze
performances, trick bicycle riding, etc.
Altogether, the Wallace show is the
largest and best that has visited Dawson
in a number of years, and is well worthy
of the liberal patronage it received here.
The exhibition was clean and clever, and
there was a noticeable absence of the
gambling devices and fakirs that are us
ually found with every circus. There
was not single gambling machine or
game of chance in operation during the
day.
