THE CIRCUS.
TilEr.E has been great excitement at the comer of Custom-house and Childers streets. On a vacant plot of land a circus tent has been placed by Messrs Woodyear and Ross, whose company a .rived by the Oreti yesterday. Large crowds of people assembled during the day in o .’der to superintend the operations, and, having nothing else to do, carefully and attentively supervised the tent pegs being drive" into the ground. There was scarely a man pre ent who didn’t know more about circus business than any one of the proprietors. All that one knew and asserted, and the other did not know, would have filled up columns. The horses, located in Mr B. C. Fryer’s Masonic Stables, also attracted numbers of people, ai.io vzhom we may in elude o’n elves. The prop deters are to be congrauu'*' <ed, so excellent a stud, some of them being well-bred and beautifully-shaped animals. The six-horsed caravan with an e ce”ent band paraded the town dm ng this a.ternoon, and gave proof of the treat to be expected this evening. The te. ms of praise in which this Company has been spoken of permits us to venture the statement that one and all who atterd this evening will thoroughly enjoy themselves.
