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

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
