CROWD FAR TOO LARGE.
Impossible for Any One to See the
Acts Presented at the Wallace
Circus Last Night-Thous-

The men who run the Wallace circus
had their own troubles last night. 1t
was trouble OF their own making and
they seemed rather pleased than 9TH

Sixty-five hundred persons are sup
posed to find seating capacity in the
main tent, but last night $500 tickets
were sold and then the circus people
tiled the impossible feat of caring for
1000 pei sons in the space usually re-
served for the chariot and running
races.

The attaches of the show spread hay
and straw on the race track and told
those who were unable to find seats
to make themselves as comfortable as
they could squatting on the ground,
They did not squat for long.
Whenever good act was on in either
of the two rings or on the stage the
crowd without seats stood up ten and
fifteen deep around that particular
spot. Those in the lower tiers of seats
could see nothing and were compelled
to join the crowd on the race track
until more than half those present be-
came a swaying, pushing mob the
circus people were utterly unable to
control.
No one could catch more than a
glimpse now and then Of the really
fine acts presented. In the afternoon
the crowd was more in proportion to
the accommodations of the tent and
the performance was greatly enjoyed
by all who saw It,
