This ear and the Dragon were built by Scan ft Tea Brocke. of Chicago. Then came a gorgeous band wagon, with a full band of mualdaaa, Oiling the air with loud melody. Afterwards a camel led by an Arab servant, and carrying on his back a richly dressed woman representing a Persian huty. Next we have a cavalcade of twenty-five knights, arrayed In burnished steel mall from bead to foot, their polished armor reflecting the sunlight like mirrors. Steel hekseta, visors, cuirasses and gaunt- lets made cms almost feel that be was back an old times with King William and his Normaais, or viewing the vassals of the Black Prince, Afterwards we have twenty-four horsemen in gay maroon with, white feathers Id their caps. "Then followed about twenty rtchly-palnted cages with wild animals and for style of smash cannot be beaten In the world. Fol- lowing- these, la a grotesque group, men oa horseback, fantastically dressed, so at to re- eatable, erne a gigantic rooster, another a huge frog, another a monkey, one a mule, and one a bear. Inside the expansive tent, which la of Itself probably the largest In the coun- try, la a menagerie containing some of tho finest animals ever brought before the Ameri- cas gaaa. We enumerate some of them, lie elephant, Bosclus, la one of the largest and most intelligent of hla species, and weighs six tons. He la attended try George Hoakmt. "About the noblest Roman of them all la the tjlacb-mancd African lion. Pomp, eight years old, who bas a most royal look, well entitling him to the prerogative of king of beasts. Ue is the grandest specimen and bas the moat kingly voice of any of the genua Leo which we have ever seen. A magnificent ■Astatic female Hon inhabits another cage. She la sleek, trim and beautiful, and of a else corresponding to Pomp. Her name is Sose. Two African leopards, perfect beauties, and probably the largest In ths country, in- habit one cage, and two Asiatic leopards an- other, la another cage are three performing Itocky Mountain bears. Otber entasis which •we remember are an Australian kangaroo, an African ostrich, the celebrated Walapua, t'e Australian wambat, which la a real curiosity ; the sea cow, a camel, monkeys, parrots and dozens of others which in our haste we can- not remember. "The keepers take pleas-are In giving (he spectators information and in 'stirring up the animals.' The circus performers are sot surpassed In anything In their line by any- body, and in many things are unequalled. The Melvllles are unapproachsble In their feats of contortion and acrobatic evolutions. Originality also marks all the performances. P. A.

Bryan's Caravan bas commenced Its har- vest la York State, the attractions of the menagerie, and la said to be drawing out thousands upon thousands of the people an despite of the shocking weather. At Albany, on May 4, Manager Kdsh reported 12,000 to the revenue collector, and "handsome re- turns" are on the books from Brhenectady, Amsterdam and Fonda. The receipts thus far are ahead of Forepaugb's last season, end the Indications are that Bryan will, at the end of the season, find that the "liberal -OF- CIRCUS NEWS FroiTIi cupper, Biglnlig February, 1861 1808-ContlBSjed. "Aa the carriages and cavalcade passed along the street yesterday they presented a grand and glittering pageantry that attracted not only boys, but business men to view it, and tbe sidewalk, balconies, fences and wooden awnlngx were covered with eager spectators, and tbe general remark was that Boblnson was fairly entitled to his cognomen, 'Yankee,' In virtue of his genius of origi- nality and Invention. A fsct apparent was that only first class artists, artificers and workmen to design and construct his elabo- rate equipage had been employed. First In order in the long line of pageantry is tbe celebrated Polyhymlna, which we described the other day. It is a colossal musical organ, resembling In its tones an enormous hand organ, whose loud snd melodious strains are calculated to announce the approach of the caravan and at the same time delight the listener, "All that tbe skill of the painter can do to render the external appearance of the car gay in color and scenes has been done. On each end and one side are pictures done op by the best artists, and la a style of execu- tion which cannot be excelled. It Is fifteen feet high, thirteen feet long and eight feet wide. Oo the left side the front of tbe in- strument Is exposed to view. In a deep panel, elaborately gilded, and bordered by massive mirrors The next novelty Is the great golden dragon, with fierce looking teeth and eyes^—an awful monster of the deep, such as the superstitious heathen mythologlsts might have fancied dragged the car of Plato In his Infernal realm, or In bis fight with the ab- ducted Proserpine. It hss feet, claws snd tail like the fabled sea horse, snd glitters la gold. administration" by which he Is now gov- erned, Is Just what was wanted. Strong advertisements, a splendid procession, cor- rect management, an extensive menagerie and s "tip top" cirrus are all brought to bear In Bryan s establishment. The papers apeak well of the show. Peter Conklto, the clown, la making himself beard. A few weeks ago an editor woo didn't like shows, pitched into tbe concern, for which Peter pitched Into the "man of Ink." It Is seldom that chin music can beat the editor, but Peter's eloquence and sarcasm was too much for the editor. But one thing clowns should remembered, that as a general rule It's folly to fight against the press. Don Rice attearptea It at Morristown a couple of weeks ago, and although Dan was In the right, he came off second best. A newspaper can go where the voice of Mr. Moneyman can never reach. Hcrr Drlosbach's Menagerie and Howe'* Circus appeared at tho Calender Lot Provi- dence, it. I., on May 0, 7, and people were turned away at both performances. A cor- respondent says: "O. X,. Clark and Johnny Wilcox, the clowns, are up to the average, snd the songs of the latter took well. Mr. Henrique and EM. Watson ere good eques- trians. The Gregory Family Is the feature of the show. Mile. Qerknell sppeara with her trained poodles, and Jeon, Victor and Arthnr on the trapeze, horizontal bars and revolving globes. The procession is very well laid out; two bends of music being In line, snd s beau- tiful tableaux car occupied by Gertrude and her poodles, and a number of women followed) by cates, wagons, etc., all decorated with ™gs. They're awful pious at Concord, N. n.. Judging from a story which ssys that the workmen in one of the carriage factories at that village recently held a consultation to decide whether they could consdentiouily work on circus wagons. We believe that a glimpse of a drrns manager's greenbacks overcame the scruples of those pious money gmbbers, snd they went to tbelr sinful work on the circus wagons. Burn a place cannot be a "concord of sweet sounds."

Instead of taking a route where It would not hsvo had any oppo- slttam it started in dead opposition to the New York Circus, losing sight of the fact that the "New York" had n long and well- deaerved reputation as one of the best con- cerns that travele. The Van Amburfh con- rem exhibited at Hartford. Conn., on May 11. 12, to about the worst business ever ex- perienced by any circus In tbe country. This was caused! no doubt, In consequence of the "New York A being extensively billed to show there on May 13. We arc Informed that tbe receipts of tbe Vara Ambnrgh show were srftomaon or tbe lltb, about *325: errenlng. 927B. and <for the VI, afternoon. 1106, ana evening, S70. Ill Is Is terrlbletttul business for any canvas show, but worso for such a laorge concern aa the Van Ambnrgh. The "New York" showed at Hartford, and notwithstanding tt rained very bard, the receipts for the afternoon and evening amounted to, we axe told, over 11,676. Having become satisfied that It can- not successfully oppose the New York con- cern, the Van Amburgh has mads a allgbt change tn Its route and showed at Providence four davs earlier than It was advertised for. It appears that even the country people know when a good show la coming along. The Orton Brothers' Circus performed at Brownsville, Neb., on May 8: Nebraska City 11, Plattsmouth 12, Omnha 13, 14, and Coun- cil Bluffs, la,, 18. During tbe week ending May 2 they were at Kansas City, Mo., and bad very windy weather for throe days, so that they could not put the top canvas up, bat put tho sides up and tbe people sat In the hot nun to look nt the show. In Western Kansas business is said to have been targe, they being tho first show over at Junction City, Mnryvlllc and other towns. Ames' Menagerie has, we are Informed by a correspondent, been doing a good business since It started from New Orleans. It showed at Canton, Miss., on May 0. to a crowded canvas. After showing at Jackson and Vlcks- burg. two days at ths latter place, ths) menagerie made a Jump of sixty miles to Brandon, Miss., and showed to a fine after- noon house. At tbe finishing of the show a heavy rain came up, spoilingIhe night bouse, but it played to f 50. A correspondent says: "The ring was yellow flay mud. Watson rode bis act with his boots on. He accom- plished two somersaults. He la a trump, and riding a fine act Hob Smith and John Law- ton are dolug the clowning Lawton la pury- lng first, 'Bob has charge of the negro show also." Bryan's Caravan is now in a clear field— no opposition. It Is exhibiting throagh tbe Northern part of New York State. This menagerie enjoys the advantage of having intelligent men to explain the various ani- mals tn the vast collection. Felix McDonald. a young Englishman, who has bad years of practical experience in tbe old country, la ihe master of the zoological department, and right well docs be fulfil tho duties of his station. He haa at his disposal a fine assort. neat of felines, lions, tigers, leopards, pan- thers, servals and congaei, and the manner in which ha points out the differences of the species, not only entertains the public, but Imparts to them valuable Information. The circus Is under tbe direction of Jacob Showles, who allows nothing to suffer for want of attention. French's Circus spread canvas at Louisville. Ky. on May 18, on tbe comer of Bast and Walnut Streets, showing four days to crowd- ed homes, hundreds belog turned away every evening, unable to gain an entrance. A cor- respondent says: "Tho show Is very good and bas some good performers. James K. Cooke and Madame Do Berg both ride good pad acts, Cooke also doing bis leaping, and Kelly and Lester do tho horizontal bar and trapeze. Chat. Adams, a now English clown, Is clever, this being bit first season In this co un try . Hr. Bosston manages tho ring. Mr. Cole manipulates the pasteboards ond greenbacks In the portable box office, and finds enough to do, for business Is very flood John Robinson comes on tbe same ot on Mny 29, bringing tbe champion leaner, J. M. Kelley, and the charming Cordelia, one ot the best equestrians In the country." Gardner ft Kcnyon's Circus pitched tent at Lebanon Pa., May 23, and was greeted by a very large number of people, extra seats being In demand. A correspondent says: "I at- tended the circus, and, take It all to all. It gives a very clever performance. Tbe prom- inent feature of tbe show Is William Morgan. the hurdle rider, wbo did a thrilling act of horsemanship, executing some difficult feats. George Cutler, the cannon tell performer, neat appeared, and did a neat act on the slack wire. James MrGuIre, ths clown and Jester, managed to keep tho spectators In a continual roar by his witty Jokes." During the removal of the cages of Ames' Menagerie at New Orleans the past week, the one containing the leopard was overturned and the bottom broken out Quick as light- ning tbe terrible beast leaped throagh the opening and dashed down the street. Pedes- trians and vehicles gave him a wldo berth. He crossed Canal Street and, continuing bis career, finally brought up In a china store on Chartres Street. On his entrance the place was immediately vacated, and be was left undisputed monarch of the premises, The keeper here overtook him, and the animal promptly submitted himself again to cap- tivity. Foreign Circus News.—The movements of some of the principal American equestrians now In Europe are noticed by Frank Pastor, the well know equeatrlan. who, under date of London, May 7. tays: "Friend Quern,—A little circus news will, no doubt, interest four many eqaestrlan readers aa well as tbe rlends of the American performers now lu Europe.

In spite of tbe weather lta receipts are aald to have been very remunerative, which circumstances can be attributed to tbe bold style of advertising Snd the liberal manner In which Mr. Bryan ta endowed his show. He Is dally adding to his menagerie, having within tho past week purchased a pair of Bengal tigers. (TO N OOBtHtMCd.J AN OLD PROGRAM. PROVtDBNCn OrtHA HOI'SB. Ons week commencing Monday.
