BIG STREET CARNIVAL.

The Norris & Rowe's Big Trained reputation of presenting better and larger street demonstration than any other similar tented exhibition. This year the announcement is made that when this stupendous aggrega- ton of performing animals appears here next Saturday, the public will wit
 ness a street carnival even more elah- crate than anything ever before offered by these enterprisng managers. Throughout the respective states where the shows have been exhibiting with great success, their street pageant at tracted particular attention, and was the occasion of many columns of com- mendation in the leading newspapers. The thing that impresses the public most forcibly was the novel manner of the display combined with richness and splendor which is not in evidence with other exhibitions. It is not merely a collection of ponies and other trained animals but is an elaborately planned processional display that forms the most original. complete and resplend- ent pagent that human ingenuity and artistic taste has ever conceived. There are many special features that are in- troduced to delight the children; the tiny dwarf elephants holding to each others tails in tandem style are ludicrous in the extreme, the grotesque came1s, the almost extinct buffaloes, and numerous cages of performing animals are the cause for unbounded praise. This grand display of wealth and grandeur will take place at il a.
 m. next Friday in New Haven and will serve to introduce this the largest trained animal show in the country.

 The very large number of remarkably fast horses entered for the meeting is noteworthy. and has occasioned consid- erable comment among horsemen here and elsewhere 4 New Haven horse fancier who examined the list of en- tries recently said: A man will never see so many fast horses coming togeth- CT again in his life" A sample of the entry is afforded by the 2:1O pace, which has the names of the following well known horses: Cinch. Dandy Chimes Dan Derby, Joe Pointer, Terrill s. Twinkle and several others.
 The big drawing car for tomorrow (Thursday) is the s10,0OO match between J. J. Scannelrs b g The Abbot 2:OSA and E. E. Smather's b Lord Derby 2:0615. Both horses are tr0tters owned in New York city. The latter won the big race at Hartford this month and had more speed than required in the contest.
 One of the four interesting races for Friday will be the POS pace for anna teurs to wagon. The 2:07 pace for the same afternoon has the names of Au- dubon Boy 2:O6, Connor 2:0SA, Dan Patch 2:OO%, Fred g. Wedgewood 2:O6, Fannie billiard 2:O5K, Hal B., 2:04A, h. diana 2:O4a4, and Shadow Chimes 2:O5.
 For Saturday two fast races and a special are on the programme. Few horses have had more admiration for speed performances than the wonderful stallion, Dan Patch 2:00&, who during all of last year and so far this season has won every race in which he started Since the year 1900 the celebrated pacer has lost only one heat, which was won by Martha Marshall 2:06A, owned by MT. Davis of Whitneyville, Conn. Dan Patch 2:OOA (by Joe Patchen, 2:O1A), owned by M. E. Sturges of New York city, will on Saturday by driven by M' E. McHenry to beat 1:59h.
 With pleasant weather the trip to the very attractive Brighton track will be very enjoyable.

COLISEUM RACES.
Splendid Card Last Night-Motor Races [

Splendid Card Last' Night-Motor Races a
 Feature.
 The splendid racing programme inaugur- ated by the management of the Coliseum at the first of the racing season have been continued throughout, and last nights card was one of the best yet offered and fully up to the standard. The feature of the evening was the motor paced race in heats of the miles between Midget Joe Nelson, of Newark, and Harry Caldwell, the Man chester giant. In the first heat an acci- dent to Nelsons motor caused Caldwell to win easily by one mile and four laps. He would have perhaps won without the ad- vantage gained in Nelson's having to take on another pace maker, but the margin would not have been so great as the contest was fairly even up to the time of the acci- dent. In the second heat Nelson's motor was very perceDtibly slower than the one pacing Caldwell, and the latter won by one mile and one lap, finishing with magni- ficent sprint, whivh brought the large crowd of spectators to their feet.
 Another race not scheduled but which proved decidedly interesting and hotly con tested was that of pursuit race between Fred Ernst and E. Stauder, of Rochester, composing one team and C. l.. Hollister, Of Springfield and Chas. Schlee, of Newark, composing the second. Up to the five mile mark the first named team had the advan- tage and victory seemed to be theirs, but the latter named team increased their pace
  other team, and after three miles won out. The exact distance travelled was miles and one lap. All of the amateur races were well contested and eXcitinS.
 Another feature of the evening. and one which had not been witnessed previous to last night was the three mile race between motors owned hy Nelson and Caldwell. There were three starters and one of Ne!- sons pace makers. Lake by name, won by three seconds. He was allotted three laps handicap by Ruden, one of Caldwell's pace makers, and the latter nearly won his time for the actual three miles being 4:20.
 The summary follows:
 Half mile-Amateur. won by J. Nol, New Haven; Walter G. Shutter, New Haven, second: Walter Haggerty, Bridgeport, third. Time-59 4-5.
 Five mile open-Amateur. won by Chas. Schlee, Newark; Teddy Ellington, Vails- burg. second; Walter Haggerty, Bridgeport. third Time-11:14 4-5. Lap prize won by Chas. SchIec.
 Motor paced race-First heat won by Harry Caldwell, Joe Nelson, second. Time -1G:16 4-5.
 Three mile race for motor cycles-Won by Lake, } laps; Rudcn, second; Campbell. third. Time-4:26.
