Ore of the Rlzarell Brothers met with an accident while doing their gymnastic per- formances at Mozart Hail, Cincinnati, O., on March 20. It seems that he -was unable to maintain his balance while standing on his brother's bend, and (ell, apparently unnoticed by the spectators, striking with great force Ms head against the floor, and causing him to faint. - Several physicians were in the hall at the time, and contributed their services to the Injured man, who, we learn, was not seriously hurt. Bryan's Caravan Circus and Menagerie, which, starts from Philadelphia, Pa., and nukes its first stand at Newturgb N. V., ca April 20, makes a detour of New York Mate. Tills concern is one of the largest and beat organized of any that will be on wheels this Summer, embracing every species of beast and bird known In natural history, together with handsome dens of wild animals that will challenge comparison with any other collec- tion on the road. The equestrian corps will be first class, led by Robert 8tlckney. who waa awarded the prize gold medal at Paris, as the champion pad rider. Mr. Stkkney is also one of the best vaultera at present In the business. There are many others of equestrian, acrobatic and gymnastic renown In the organization. No better "head men" ere attached to a similar organization than John Bryan, as proprietor; Frank Kelsh, manager: Charley Castle, contractor, and Doct. a. P. Jones, master of publication. The Golden State Circus opened at Sacra- mento, Ca!., on March 12, under the man- agement of W. B. Blaisdell, in an amphi- theatre erected on Sixth Street, between K and L streets, and capable of holding about eight hundred persons. At the termination of their Sacramento engagement they were to start upon a tour throughout the Interior of the State. George Constable Is the eques- trian director and clown. Toe company also includes: James I.eroy, hurdle and bar rider; Wm, Franklin, principal rider; James Lee (not one of the numerous Lee Family), John Faylor, tumbler, and the Slegrlst Fam- ily. James Beebe and John Qodlcy arc lead- ers of the band. The ring stock Includes eight horses and a trick horse. The round top tent is eighty feet in diameter, and there are five luggage vans, a passenger coath for the company, and a light band chariot to hold twelve persons. George w*. Sears, well known in the circus and menagerie business as the "Lion King," died at Augusta, III., on March 28, of eon- sumption. He was born In Massachusetts, was about thirty-two years of age, and had been in the business since boyhood, his father being an old showman. In the Spring of 1863 he Joined the Mable Henacerle at Delavan, Wis., with whom he traveled two seasons, after which he went to Cuba with Spauldlng & Rogers, taking a den of per forming lions with him. In the Spr r 1805 he was with the Dan Rice Show, following season he Joined Yankee Robln< eon. with whom he remained until bis death. Dan Rice's Circus and Menagerie com- menced operations for the season on March 80, opening at Washington, D. C.. for six days. In consequence of the her of strangers in the eit: trial of the President, business better than was expected. On one occasion many were turned away, standing room not being available. The company makes a very fine appearance on parade, being attired in dresses new and gorgeouB. The menagerie is composed of rare beasts and birds, occupying twelve cages. Our correspondent, "Novice," writes: "f attended on the evening of March 81, and found the canvas a mass of human beings. After the entree, the Delevantl Bros. (H. W. Penny and Lewis Kline) appeared on the trapeze and executed a variety of new and thrilling feats. B. W. Perry and his little daughter, Minnie, followed In a prettily arranged two horse act. which preceded Bome amusing business on stilts by w. C. Young. Little Minnie then appeared with her tw« ponies, 'Pink* and 'Obcron,' and received libera] applause. The trick horse, Stephen A. Douglas, waB next introduced by Dan Rice, after which Fred Barclay, a very clever rider, appeared, but his horse being one entirely new never having been OBed under canvas, did not awaken much enthusiasm. The Dele- vantl Bros, were then announced for perform- ances on the horizontal bar. The introduction of the wonderful blind horse, 'Excelsior Jr..' by Col. Rice, was followed by a laughable pantomime, after which the educated mules, 'Pete' nnd 'Barney,' performed their orlglnnl specialties. Wm. Kennedy, clown, appears in original sayings, and cleverly slugs a, comic song. John Trewalla Is master of the circle, nna Prof. JB". M. NaBh has charge of the baby elephants.
