Suddenly the animal made a spring sod seized Mr. White by the shoulder with Us teeth, shaking him as a dog wocld a rat, md finally throwing him on his back upon Ike floor of the cage. A thrill of horror sisjtd through the assemblage of spectators. Women screamed and fainted. Meanwhile Br. White coolly awaited tbe Issue. He was lilpless for a moment, the lion, with both Lre paws upon bis breast, holding him down md retaining bis shoulder within those ter- rible jaws.

It stands In pleasing comparison to the manner ln wblch O'Brien treated poor Silas Baldwin. From the day George Marston was hurt at Sandy Creek Mr. Forepaugh had him well cared for, giving orders to spare no atten- tions. ~He telegraphed dally to know his condition, and when the ncwa of his death came he sent a man out to see the remains coffined and sent home.

On account of her not being able to appear, Herr Lengel, tte 'Lion King,' who Is with the company, kindly volunteered to enter tbe cage of African lions (three in number).

At Norfolk, Vn., tko seats tumbled down and quite a number of people were Injured. While Uobert De Lanry was performing on the trapeze at Norfolk, a rope connected with the apparatus parted, and the gymnast wes precipitated a distance of over twenty feet to the arena below. Ho was balancing himself on tbe horizontal bar that forms a portion of the trapeze, and was about to drop and catch himself by his feet when the accident occurred.

During the performance of Thayer & Noyes' Circus nt Carbondale, Pa., an act not announced on the bills took place. A num- ber of miners carried off tho pony wagon and harness and when the company was ready to leave it discovered the theft, and Manager Noyes, not appreciating the Joke, at once Instituted a search, and the property was found In a mine, nearly one thousand fret under the ground, where It hnd been hidden b.v the thieves. Chtarlnl's Cirrus commenced the season at tne City of Mexico nn July 1, by a perform- ance dedicated to tho hero of the day, lien. Porflrlo Diaz. An immense ciiiH'ourse occu- pied all the space Inside the vast amphithea- tre, and hundreds who came late were obliged to return to their homes without gaining an entrance. Kntlo llulloway, I)u- verne, the Orozco Brothers, Sebastian, the Nelson Brothers, and Sharp (clown) arc the principal features. A Mexican paper says: "Mr. Uhlarlnl has by this trip to Mexico lost $4.1,000. An ImmeiiHo company, an extra- ordinarily large horso force, and not hardly a paying performance In six mouths' time would have ruined any other three or four circus managers of the world. Yet CUIarlnl la still wealthy In real estate, and If tho Grand Army of the Bepubllc now stationed here receives its psy while qunriered In and around tbe capital, Chlnrlnl will accumulate a princely revenue and net a season with fno.OOO or more."

Performers hnve also needed a place to practice their hones, as well ns break new ones for the business. Eaton Stone, the veternn bare back eques- trian, who, after a popular experience of forty years, baa retired from the sawdust arena, has purchasod a farm of over forty acres at Passaic, N. J., about ton miles from this city, where, surrounded by all tho com- forts of llfo ho 1b enjoying his remaining years. His farm is well stocked. Feeling the want of a proper building for the profession to practice in, he has, for tho sako of having company to while sway tho dull hours of country life In tbe Winter, ns well ns keep himself ln condition, Just erected a commo- It Is octagon in shape, with a slanting roof. It Is 2'.'5 feet In circumference, and 42 feet high. A 44 foot ring baa been built whore the profession can practice with tbelr stock. Between tho ring curb and the walls of the building there Is a splen- did drive around tho entire circle thirteen feet wldo and 22Q In length. This )b ele- vated, and bo graded that It inakcH a good ilrlvo with a sulky. The Interior Is arranged expressly for gymnasts, there being a large centra pole, springing from which are brackets, so tlitit performers can put up any kind of a rigging to practlco their different uctu. Thero arc no posts or obstructions whatever to hurt a performer in case he fulls while doing an aerial feat on horso- luick. Thero Is a good dressing room ln the building, also stoves to keep the edifice warm, It Ib substantially built of well seasoned ook, nnd Is painted ln white, Btrlped with red. The drive outside tbo circle 1> large enough to contain a largo number of baggngo vans or animal cages, and as Mr. Stone has a largo barn capablo of accommodating a number of horses, somo of our circus mana- gers who uro In tho neighborhood of Now York will, no doubt, avail themselves of tha opportunity of Eaton's accommodations, It U vory handy to this city, and It takes only one hour to reach It by cars. Lucy Watson hns been prevented from riding with the European show for ten days In consequence of a sprained ankle. She was expected to ro-apnear on Sept. 30. Jennnette, her sister, has also been laid up with fever. John Walter Whlttnkcr, son of Frank Whlttakcr, tho well known equestrian di- rector, died ln this city on Sept. 20, of erysipelas. Ho was fourteen years and eight months old. Mr. Whlttnkcr came to this city from tho European Circus, arriving here a few hours after his son died, Tho remains were tuken to Philadelphia on Bcpt. 28, for Interment. Oliver Bell, equestrian director for Do Haven's Circus, was drowned while crossing the river, preparatory to starting for Shor- brooke, and bo Is supposed to have walked off the boat In the dark. His body was found live days afterwards, about three miles below the spot where the boat crossed, and his body wus burled in a small town closo to the spot where It was found. Forepangh's Circus and Mennaorle, one of tho largest institutions of Its kind on the road this season, as well as ono of the most attractive, particularly in tbo animal depart- ment, will shortly commence Its grand tour through tbe Southern country. The com* ?'Wiy, already strong, will be Increased by ho following people: Sam Lathrop, Tom King. Mile. Cordons, Harry Cardona, Mite, Amelia, John Lorton. John Rivers, Theodora Tournalre, William Morgan, Brown and San- ford,. gymnasts, and Mile. Virginia. Undei tho management of Frank Kclsh tbla concern hns done as great a business as was ever dono by any show on wheels. (To be Continued.)

Kaufman, of Philadelphia, ana are booked for a three months run around Pbltadetphts, Pa., after which they will bo seen on tbe big time.
