THE CIRCUS IN TOWN.

John RobinSon's circus will exhibit
in the northwestern section OF this city
tonight. A performance was given this
afternoon which was greatly enjoyed by
large audience. Under the manage
ment OF Mr.. John G. Robinson, grand
son Of the original founder, this ancient
and honorable institution has more than
kept pace with the times and with the
prestige Of three generations Of success.
Four rings. two stages and a half mile
hippodromc track are required to pre-
sent the enormous array OF startling
acts ON the programme. Three com
bined menageriesl comprise the most
complete geological exhibit ever carried
by any travelling show. To add to the
variety, complete wild west exhibi
ton will be given by so cowboys, 50
cowgirls. so real blanket Indians, a
company of Russian Cossacks and
Japanese scouts, Mexican horsemen
and South American Vaqueros. A
company OF U. S. cavalry will present
all kinds OF fancy drills. There IS a
tribe of Singalesc, and desert Arabs,
and camp Of the nations. including
hundreds of strange people from the
far corners of the earth. There was a
street pageant this morning.
The circus arrived here at an early
hour this morning and soon thereafter
the mammoth tent was erected. About
IL O'Clock the grand street parade was
commenced and continued for about
an hour. The display was an insplr-
ing one and attracted large crowds on
the street, all OF whom were most
pleased. There were gorgeous wagons,
splendid chargers in their glittering and
plinting harness; wild animals Of many
kinds and ages and descriptions, some
of them strange looking to even the
old-timers who have watched circus
parades for years. There were the
camels, the elephants, the tigers and
lions, the mysterious closed cages that
were so awfully attractive to the boys
mind and out of which there came
strange unearthly noises, suggestive OF
the dark and impenetrable gloom OF
forests where trees grow thick, where
the suns light penetrated but in the
smallest ray, and where there were
pools of sluggish water, weighed down
with palms and fronds and in which
awful creatures moved with stealthy
glide and deathly intent A feature oil
the parade was the congress OF ma
TONS" consisting Of Indians, Japs,
Singalese, cowboys, cowgirls, cavalry
men and Cossacks.
