THE BIG CIRCUS.

Covington and Cincinnati were both
circus-mad yesterday, and the Wallace
Show, the first of the season in these
parts, found the multitude eager and
anxious to accord them q welcome, and
herald with loud acclaim the excellence
of the performance, testify1ng not
alone by their presence, but by the
most demonstrative applause, that the
show was thoroughly to their liking,
the one regret being that its stay in
the city was of such short duration.
Tine splendid street parade, given
early in the day, undoubtedly had much
to do with the attendance, as it may
be said, and with emphasis, that none
of the many shows ON either side
of tic river Within the past few years
have ever exhibited on the streets such
procession of magnificent horses
beautiful women, bright, clean and
really gorgeous costumes, as those
shown yesterday by the Wallace man
agen1ent. The performances We're, it
is pleasant to add, thoroughly in keep
ing with the promise Of the parade, and
nothing equaling them has been presenI-
ed to local circus goeIs within decade.

trouble came through the revenue law.

menageric, for each day or part OF II
day, $500, and each side show 500
and on every show given under canvas
or otherwise in which animals are eX-
hibited and trapeze ard Juggling per-
formances are given, for each day or
part of day, $50 whether free or 9TH
erwise, and the county shall levy the
same amount and no more" Which
when put in intelligible language means
that circus must pay 5000 tax to the
State and 5000 tax to the county every
time it sets up canvas and shows the
other thing, whatever it is, pays $50
to the county and $50 TO the State
every time it "juggles."
When John Robinson's circus went
to Durham the agents proposed to Sher-

animals are exhibited and Juggling and

sheriff to lop off $500 of the taxes at

The matter was referred to the Attor-

have to pay $500 or fold it and steal
