THE PROPOSED HIPPODROME.
is NETWORK READY TO SUPPORT A PER-
MANENT CIRCUS?


Again with the rolling there rolls up to the
surface the proposition Of a hippodrome for New
York. 1t comes about once in so often. or some
times Oftener. 1t has been discussed in these col
umns before also. The plan looks to the estab-
lishment of a permanent circus. 1t is said that
the enterprise is assured. Probably all public
spirited citizens would wish for the OF the
scheme. but there are still a few whose doubts op-
pose their wishes. and there those who believe
that there are certain things for which II Is Of no
use to hope.
James A. Bailey. who probably knows more
about the show business than any other man living
and has as good Judgment about 1t. ordinarily. as
any other man, has never revealed any faith in the
practicability of permanent circus for New-YOrk.
If he had believed in it. he would probably have
put his trust to the test long ago. But the
trary, Mr.. Bailey in the last years OF the Barnum
& Bailey show in this country even reduced the
time, which was not long, of the stay OF the show
in New-York.
The only who has in late years actually
made an experiment of a permanent circus in New
York was John B. Doris. who started a small
a few years ago in West Forty -second-st., and
kept it going for few weeks. Mr.. Doris
experienced circus man. and his show. though
small was good one. but the public would have
none of 1t. That is just the secret of the perma-
nent circus business. The New-York public will
not support Barnum & Bailey's or Forepaugh's for
ing used TO the grandeurs of these they will not
take lesser shows at any price.
CIRCUS Is poSSlDle IN CITY
like Paris, because they have not been used any
thing better there than the inexpensive shows
which go on through the season at the permanent
establishments. They will pay for them and sup
port them, because they do not know that there Is
anything better. But Barnum & Baileys is there
now, and the PariSianS will see what they will
1t would be indeed joy TO have a permanent
circus in New-York but the hope of it's prosperity
looks small, and for any other purpose, how can
great hippOdrome compete with the Madison Square
Garden which lives by admitting all sorts OF big
shows from week to week? Even the Madison
Square Garden does not make sumptuous living
out of IT, and the proposal for the building
looks like one of only about half the size. and
hence far too small 10 compete with II in many OF

There was portent in the vaStness OF the nlShti
But on the waiting earth enchantment lay
That set the trembling East aglow with light

A dreaming river woke a drowsy bird,
At dawn robin scared aloft to sing
Lo, ii spring!

And dreamed the faltering dawn had limited day.
Then blind tears veiled mine unbeeving sight;
God thy love like within my night.
And at tiny touch my soul awoke to sing
Lo, II is spring!

BIGGEST RUSH ON RECORD FOR NEW YEARS

Il have been here n the employ OF the POST
office for more than thirty years and I never saw
such rush of mail on New-Year's Eve and New
Years Day we have had to handle since
O'Clock last night. II simply swamped Us. The
hrst indication Of this rush OF mail was made
manifest shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon. when the returns Of collectors showed up
extraordinarily heavy. ] impressed every man
could find into work. but despite this aid en-
ployed under emergency clause the force that came
on at o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and which Is
usually through with wo-k at o'clock In the morn
ing, had 10 work until o'clock this morning. The
force that came on at midnight, and which should
have been dismissed at o'clock this morning
worked until 10 o'clock. and the day force which
came on at o'clock this morning, and which Is
usually through work at o'clock in the after
noon. will have to work at least two hours over
time. This afternoon expect there will be big
rush OF out Of town mail All OF this mail that
we have been handling in the last thirty-six hours
from the city collection routes, and the bulk OF
that which will arrive from out of town this after
noon. is made up chiefly Of annual statements
notices OF declarations OF dividends and matter
OF that kind, never IN my life such rush.
1t was fully 20 per cent greater than on any New
Years Eve and New Years Day that have ever
known We still have a large portion OF the ac-
cumulations or this morning which has not been
assorted To give you an idea OF the work we
have had TO do, corporation alone sent IN 5000
letters for distribution There was but one de-
livery this morning, and much Of the mai! matter
sent out by carriers was brought back to this
office the offices to which these letters were ad-
dressed were closed, because Of the holiday. To-
morrow morning every carrier leaving this office
will take out at least a double quantity OF mail
matter, and some OF them three times the regular
amount They Will not use automobiles. for the
reason that we have funds draw upon for
such service, but the service will be made by e.
lays. That IS. a carrier will take all the mail he
can carry, and after delivering that will be met
at some point on his route by another man. who
Will turn over TO him the mail for the rest OF his
route, receiving from him the empty bag. I can
make no estimate yet Of the quantity OF matter
handled, but / hope to have everything cleared up
before the first delivery Is sent out to-m0rrow
