The performances Will begin at D. m. and p. m respectively ana will be given rain or shine. The Yale class of s96 were arranging last night to attend the show in body tonight. X Yesterdays Waterbury American says of the show The immense inclosure' with it's seats in position, the tent stables flor the horses, the dining tent, with it's tables neatly and invitingly spread, the Indian tepees, with their swarthy skin- ned occupants, and the large tents which served as home for the performers, all went to make up an unusual and pie turesuue scene There was variety or cost11ning which almost led one to be- Iieve that he had been transported to some foreign country The Cossacks, the Arabs and the Indians each wore 3the garb in which they appear in their native countries, while the glimpses of blue uniforms of the United States ar my. with the red side stripe of the ar tillery or the yellow of the cavalry, made q picture complete in local color ing.
 Less subdued in dress, but none the less interesting to the spectators, were the cowboys, and last, but not least, the Rough Riders. There is no fake abo11t the latter. They are genuine Rough Riders, who saw service with < Colonel Roosevelt in Cuba, and seven of the number bear wounds as indelible medals of bravery. An American re- porter was greeted warmly by these plainsmen-fghters, and spent an in teresting hour with them. There was syA6ces.fnty, the famous "bronco buster < of the regiment, who receives special mention in Roosevelt's history of the war: there was Kline; who was shot through the leg and for several days expected to part company with the member. and others whose names are ;in the honor list of the regiment. II Of Indians there are over half hum -~f4red, all from the Sioux nation. There are old chiefs and young children, all dressed in the elaborate garments and eay colors in which they are identi- fed in the minds eye.

 The parade this morning was reve- 1ation. It was viewed by thousands of < Interested spectators, who crowded the ' streets along the route previously an { nounced. and all were unanimous IT rheir praises. While the detachment o1 Rough Riders and Cuban patriots were without doubt the most attractive fea- t1res of the cawalcade, the other attrac' Hious delighted young and old.
