And be convinced that it is, as claimed to be, the Representative Circus and Menagerie ot trained Animals on the American continent to-day! ! A PORTION OF OUR RECORD FOR THE SEASON OF 1873. HARRISBURG. PA. Howe’s London Circus and Menagerie of Trained Animals. The announcement that Howe’s circus and menagerie would parade through the streets of Harrisburg yesterday morning was the signal for thousands of people to congregate on the sidewalks, crossings and public thor oughfares to witness the unrivaled spectacu lar scene. About ten o'clock the procession commenced moving from the cotton factory lot, and as the long array of chariots and other paraphernalia of the mammoth estab lishment filed into Second street an exhibi tion of indescribable grandeur passed In pan oramic review before the observer. The two golden chariots, which could hot be built In this country for $25,000 a piece, were of course the-prominent features of the parade, but there were many other extraordinary at tractions, among them a richly carved dra gon drawn by a beautiful team of ten ponies, a small chariot to which were attached six ponies, a large number of fine horses band somnly caparisoned and ridden by armed knights,.a troop of five wonderfully trained elephants and an array of animal cages, etc. The colossal chariots were each occupied by five gorgeously attired ladies, and drawn by ten horses. Sight of the ladles were seated on the corners of the chariots and two had positions about thirty feet from the ground, one sitting on the design of the globe and the other on that of an elephant. The procession passed through the principle streets where trees and other obstacles did not interfere with the passage of the altltudlnous chari ots, and the thousands wpo witnessed it were filled with rapture at the unparalleled mag nificence of the pageant. ; The performance in the afternoon and ev ening were In consonance with the parade, and the number in attendance at the two entertainments exceeded 8,600 people. The grand entree was ent rely different from any that had been witne.saed in this city, eight elegantly dressed ladies appearing on horses and executing numerous evolutions in horse manship. Elephants, ponies, armored knights, with beautiful 7 banners, etc., also participated in the initiatory performance. The wardrobe represented-in the entree cost • about $5,000. The next act on the programme was the performance of trained elephants under the Instruction of Mr. c. Egberts, who has brought the group of animals to a perfection of tramiug never before attained bv anv other person. "While one turned the crank of an organ several revolved on pedestals responsive to the music. Among oilier feats executed by the ’elephants were the rinmip' of a standing on h**acis and waltz mg; but the achievement par exu-m the formation of an elephantine pyramm li the quintette of quadrupeds. The equestrianism ot the circus v.-is ex tensive, marvelous and thrilling. Among the lady riders Milo Dock rill, tin* Im-..u WOUdPJ , distinguished herself by baivosiek performances, of which coolness, seii-;». sion, intrepidity and agility were prominent characteristics. Her balancing power* are wonderful, ner physical endurance great, and her poses of tin- iu »si graceful character. Some of her feats may v.-ith propriety and truth be described a< m~ial flights. M ile XKickrtil is a naregon equestrian ism, and has no female equal in tue country. The Misses Joe. English ladies, and Master K'-n -nobei. also executed some pretty and diffi cult feats on the horse. Rut the hurdle ri ding of Mr. William H. Morgiu was fie most thrilling pan -of the whole p-*r:onaauce. and evoked the most enthusiastic plaudits from the audience. Especially was ills final achievement grand in its skill and intrepid ity, and a thousand voices made the pavilion vocal as he alighted in triumph from his horse. He described the circle several times while apparently glued to the side of the horse sit the hip, and nn'-p or twice while in this position with one (mup gained a perpen dicular posit ion on :i u . h,.;-se, anding safely on las feel while t !)•• andnnl was running at the top of its spec i.—Harrisburg Dally Pa triot, May f 7. l-U.] Ease’s Leaden Circas and Sander's English ifenagerie of Trained Animals. It is estimated that at least nine thousand people attended the two performance* of this extensive establishment in our city, yester day, and all who were present are unani mous in pronouncing it the best they ever saw. The grand entree of the twelve lady riders, and the five performing elephants was very fine. The equestrianism of the great female bare-hack rider. MTle Dockrill was magnificent, and there is no doubt she is the greatest performer in the business. Her every movement was graceful and the pic ture or beauty. The champion bare-bacs hurdle tnder, \Vm H. Morgan, performed the most difficult feats we have ever witnessed with the greatest ease, precision and skill' He is, without exception, the best in his particular line who has over appeared here The clowns created the greatest amusement possible, and during the entire performance nothing was done or said that could give offense to the most refined or fastidious. The performance of the five trained elephants gave general satisfaction, and the exhibi tion by the mastery of man over wlid ani mals by the trainer of the pack of hyenas and Bengal tigers, was indeed wonderful The entire performance from the beginning to the end was all that the manageikient claimed. It was select, chaste and superb and we have no doubt, should the manage! mentseefit to again visit our city, before they close the season, that the canvass would be too small to hold the audience. The man agers, agents and attaches are, without ex ception, the most obliging and accommoda ting set of people we have ever met, and we recommend them and the exhibition to the public everywhere as the “ne plus nltra” of their class.—Harrisburg Dally Evening Telegraph, May 291573. 8 OF HOWES’ GREAT LONDON MIS I Sanger’s British Menagerie of Trained Wild Beasts !
