PARADE AT THE USUAL HOUR

The Wallace show arrived early this morning on its own special trains. It will unload on the Twenty-fourth street crossing of the Southern road. The lit- like magic and all will be in order so that the parade can start promptly.
 Leaving the show lot, the parade goes to Twenty-fourth street, thence to Sec ond avenue, to Eighteenth street, to First avenue, to Twenty-first street, to Avenue B and to the exhibition grounds.
 Concerning the parade the News and Courier of Charleston. s. C., said:
 There Is every reason why the pro- prietors of the Wallace shows should be proud of the parade. Not only be- cause 1t is long-for sometimes length does not mean excellence-but because it was not only the largest, but the cleanest, brightest and most interesting that has likely ever passed through Charleston's streets. From the gaily caparisoned buglers and heralds that led the march to the steam calliope, which
 
 regulated circus procession, there was succession of interesting objects Band wagons of the most elaborate type, drawn by eight and ten horses, wild anil mals in open cages, performing and race horses, ridden by jockeys and lady riders. Elephants and camels led by swarthy mahouts and, of course merry lot of clowns dodging about through the orderly line and provoking laughter from all of the spectators. Every horse and every animal in the street parade was in perfect condition and the wagons trappings and harness were all as attractive and bright as though just from the shops. The eos- tunes worn by the performers who took part in the parade were new and hand some and every detail of the parade seemed to be as perfect as anyone could have wished"
 The Wallace performance seems to be able to please the people Three weeks ago this show was in Augusta. Ga
 The following morning the Augusta Chronicle paid the Wallace show a high tribute by devoting column and half of its space to Its many features. In its scare head the Chronicle pronounces Wallaces show the trimmest, neatest, best and most thorough; every act a perfect one, everything first-class, every promise kept; 1t goes away bearing the good will of all"
 The following paragraphs are taken from the Augusta Chronicle:
 "Wallace's show may take money out of the town If it does, the popular verdict is: Glad that Wallace got our money, if circus had to come and get it.
 Wallace has been in Augusta before His name has won him patronage. Here tofore he has kept faith. Circuses make many empty boasts Wallace has not Proving their faith in what Wallace proffered, Augustans. and those around Augusta, filled his tent yesterday. They overfowed the seats and squatted on the turf in front of the seats, piling into the ring when the hippodrome came on.
 "Reporters-all of us that there are of us on this paper-circulated among the crowds after the performances Ears were kept to the ground The comment was That circus is all right When 1t comes again I will go to It. It was fine. Everything they said they would show was put on
 Press opinion is that the show was the superlative of the circus 'art'-if one can call it art
 The Dellerneads,' the statuary act: the Nelson acrobats, Livingston on the aerial bars. Rooney and Hollis Blanche Reed (Minnie Sweeney the riders; Elicit sisters, Emma Donovan. the Vortex sis ters, aerialists; Stir. family, the bicy clists; the drill, blue and gray, of six teen ladies; the trained animal acts the wonderful pony, money, elephant and hound act; the trained pigs; the magnifi- cent races, the costly menagerie-eyerv- thing approximated the perfect, won ap- plause and put feathers in the can of Wallace-so much so that Wallace can come to Augusta whenever he wants to and the crowd is his.
 ''The performance was excellent The features were grand. We are glad that Augusta has given wallace's show | |
