Wayne, as it IB thought a saving can be made by this arrangement The road, if built, will connect here with the New York, Chicago St Louis, road The distance from Fort Wayne to Springfield, is one hundred and eight miles Barnum, Bailey Hutchinsonhave a clever assistant 4 Thomas the press agent The business of this gentleman is to make himself ble to the newspaper fraternity, and he does it Every courtesy was shown the reporters of the city papers They were conveyed to and from the show in carriages the most eligible location in the tent, both for seeing and hear ing, reserved for them, and all the cu riosities pointed out and ex plained to them by Mr Thomas who insisted upon conducting his guests over the entire show outside and in The press gang will not soon forget Mr Thomas' courtesy This sort of thing pays and the proprietors of the cone rn know it as well as anyone However, as the show is a magnificent le, they are not compelled to curry favor by any display of obsequiousness They are eiraply courteous gentlemen BlBNUtf IN FOBT WAYNE A the the City Such is the magic which attaches to Bamum's name that a show which hears his name is certain to draw largely The name is a valuable trade mark and whether Barnum is in reality interested in the great show which exhibited here yesterday is of little moment It la sufficent that the promises of the management were Fulfilled to the letter and that the Barnum London show may be safely said to be the most gigantic tenting enterprise ever known in the history of the circus Bailey and Hutchinson are two young men of energy and enterprise and as they have the active management of the show they are entitled to the credit Probably as large a crowd as ever assembled in this city on a circus day swarmed upon our streets yesterday Of course a large majority of the visitors were rurahsts, for whom no form of amusement has such delights as a tent show The scenes upon a show day we have before depicted, and it is unnecessary to follow our country cousins in their meandenugs hand in band about the streets The circus is the thing and the vast tents were crowded to their utmost capacity, both afternoon and evening The total receipts for the afternoon performance falling a trifle short of $5 000, while in the evening these figures were im proved upon We do not like tha idea of three rings with as many acts going on therein simultaneously but with the quality of the entertainment no one can find fault The Barnum show has many fine riders Mme Elise Dockrill, familiar to patrons of the Great London show, is retained, and certainly she is not excelled this country by any equestrienne Mme Dockrill, too, improves from season to season, and her riding is marked by a rare nerve and grace Mme Cordo na, a young woman, is a fair rider, and Miss Emma Lake's manege act we never saw excelled Frank Melville is a young man who is rapidly pushing aside the claims to supremacy of Robinson, Fish et al Melville's business is uewand daring and this is sufficient to make his act more interesting than those of his ancient rivals, wko rely on reputation already are not inventive The leaping of the two rivals for the championship, Batcheller and Frank Gardner, was an inter esting feature They are followed by a numerous train of minor satlelites all excellent leapers The Lorellas, grotesque dancers who were several seasons with Herrmann, the magi clan, are the originators of the act copied by the Ronaldos who ap- appeared at the Olympic some time ago Some very clever jugglers are seen in their feats and the gymnastic portion of the entertainment is entrusted to such excellant hands as those of Hawley and Buisley, whose flying trapeze act is daring and very graceful, the French troupe Davene, a man and two females, no less excellent, the Boisset broth, horizontal bar Gey er and Ashton, parlor gymnasts and Maggie Claire, formerly of the Claire sisters, whose act upon the fly ing rings is not approached by any performer The clowns have little to do, as indeed they can not be heard to any great distance but they are certainly not offensive The trained animal feature is superior to that of any otber show The menagerie and curiosity department has great attractions, principal amone which are General Tom Thumb and wife Time has touched the tiny couple, but their levees draw as large crowds about the raised dais upon which they sit as in former years Chang, the Chinese giant, is a giant, being over eight feet in height The animals are all well kept and the variety is astonishing A herd jof twenty elephants is an unusual sight, and the sagacious beasts are all remarkably docile and intelligent The "baby" elephant was especially at tractive and mother aud child were incessantly surrounded by a large crowd The giant horse and oxen we can't say impress us with their size, but whtre else is so excellent, it would be unkind to emit a here In brief, thing about this mammoth amusement enterprise impresses one 'vith the fact that its pro- itetors aii'l managers are men of mtans, liberality mil a si.rewd fore wght into whnt the public demand Barnum, Bailev and Hntchmson will accumulate princely fortunes, and their patrons will be glad of it By all odds theirs is the greatest amusement enterprise the world Detective Gallagher, the Pinkerton detective force, accompanies the Barnum and Louden show He pointed out numerous auspicious characters to our police, who watched them and prevented no doubt many depredations Miss Lizzie Brown, of Van Wert, Ohio, la
