GREAT CROWD WITNESSES
UNLOADING OF The circus

| Several hundred residents of Ham
cock gathered at the railroad crossing
In West Hancock yesterday afternoon
| 10 watch the interesting process of un-
loading the circus wagons OF the
Campbell Brothers. and almost as
many went out TO the driving park to
see the tents put up. The remarkable
organization and systematic precision
attendant upon the arrival of a big
railroad show, and the rapidity with
which the various details are carried
out, resulting in the erection of tent
ed city upon what was a couple of
hours before a vacant field. were of
great interest to old and young alike.
The circus came i'm over the South
Shore railroad from Superior, arriving
at about three o'clock. The cars were
held I'm the Mineral Range yards until
after the st. Paul train had passed and
we're then hauled to the crossing where
the unloading took place. In an in
crediby short time the horses were
disembarked, and held at Lake street
until the section of the train contain
ing The wagons with the tent poles
and canvas was brought up. The ele-
plants and camels were the first of the
outfit to arrive and were at once given
their supper of hay, a load of which
had proceeded them to the lot. The
cooking outfit followed and in lAs than
an t5d. after arrival, the dining tent
was erected, the tables and benches
erected and dishes spread, while in the
kitchen wagon several cooks were pre-
pairing the evening meal.
Meanwhile the other wagons were
arriving with poles and canvas, which
were hauled to where steel rods had
been stuck by men who had hastened
by street car TO the driving park as
soon as the train arrived. These rods
outlined the sites of the various tents.
At the place marked each rod, a stake
was driven and with such rapidity did
everything move that by half past I. all
the tents were up. These incidents of
circus management while more or less
familiar because they are seen in con-
nection with every tented show, never
theless never fail to interest almost as
much as the exhibition given later
inside.
The Campbell Brothers circus gave n
street parade this morning which at
tracted a big crowd of visitors to the
city and while it was traversing the
streets, the city took on n gala aspect.
The parade was n very creditable one,
and drew many to the grounds to wit
ness he afternoon performance. An
other exhibition will be given this
evening and tomorrow the show will
appear at Calumet.
