Barnum's Show

It is seUlora tliat the Courier indulges In reinarks respecting amusemenu of this kiinl after they have passed, but that priuce of good fellows, D. S. Thomas, the press agent tor the mainmoth aggregation, is such a host within himself, and treats the newspaper men in mofa a way that the tbing can't be lielped. Barnum had a bad day last Tuesday, a vury bad day. A territic thundcr stonn carne up just previous to the afternoon entertainment whieh came mighty near drowning out the multUiidi!. Notwith¦tanding, the people ponred in as the rain poured down, and the seats. in the enormous maln tent were wcll filled whetl il was time for the show to commence. We were condueted over the entire concern. We saw the hippopotamus, kangaroo mm] oraoodlle. Wc law the polar bear, the emu and tall giraffe ; we saw the liona in their lair, and the mookejt with their laugli. In fact, we saw everything and everybody- if it did rain. Of course the weather interfered with the show, but it brought out and displayed to excellent advantage the bounteous resources of the concern. The street parade at Q% o'clock was the best ever seeu in the city, without exception, and well worth seeing. A few statistics may interest. Barnuin employs 630 people ; has 310 hora; about 20 elephants, and nearly as niany camels; spreads '48,000 yards of canvas, uuder which 15,000 people can be accommodated, and pays diiüy $4,500. How's that for business?
