FEATURES OF

affair. and not a very important opening
gun either. The Coliseum never so
well decorated. II actually looked pretty,
which is a lot TO say about building where
bare raftsrs protrude like the coliarSones
of the ancient souhrette.
The promenade is wider than OF yore, and,
singular to say. more generally patron
izeu. The ST. Louis man is learning THAI he
has legs. like the horses The arena was
well footed with tanbark. and seemed bet
ter for exhibition purposes than ever before.
The crowd was handsome one for an
opening night, and a very hiSh-ciass one.

So tar as ,ne EXHIBITS went. the evening
was uneventful and very quiet. Even the
green hunters were SO good and performed
