There is id1* thing that people never seem to be fui i y persuaded about on circus day and that is the time of going iu the afternoon in order to avoid the crowd, aud a chance to “look at all the animels.” For fear of being iau people began goiug over to the grounds as early as 11 o clock in the forenoon, while noon found a steady stream of people pouriug cireusw .rd. iu the next hour and a half travel was slow and condensed over the big btidge and along the entire route. At 1 o’clock, and for some time thereafter, there was a deadloc k of people aud teams at the entrance to the suspension bridge, and the luaded Bridgeport hor<e cars car ried but a mere mite of the whole num ber of p jp'e going that way.

The only fault to be found with the l was its immensity, as persons '<1 at cue extreme end had to guess '.arc•• y as to what was going on at the other, and persons seated in the reserve seats near the centre had to overtax tee optic nerve to catch every thing that was goiug on iu three differ ed: rii ir- at once. Tho days of three riii-rs sin uid be relegated to the rear. St.11 the circus managers are consider ate enough to make exclusive all acts of great moment, such as the lianlou V '.tT', great aerial acts, which were indeed remarkable. The program was well arranged throughout and contained many clever things, particularly the trained lions iu the tirst part, and the extraordinary ritle shooting of Capt. ltogardus as well as the many exciting races at the close of ring features. There were also many mirth-provoking inci dent, scattered throughout the exhibi tion. The show gave good satisfaction throughout, and the children present, and there were scores upon scores of them In the afternoon, doubtless added several years to their lives by hearty laughter, eager gazing aud natural wonderment.

One fakir sold I three baloons for 25 cents, and was nabbed immediately. The other fellow was nabbed on general principles. Kel logg thought tho superintendent was fooling. C. E. Lodge says it was not fair treatment and that the Bridgeport authorities were actuated by Jealousy. He said the boys had to pay more than they made during the day. It is not likely that the Bridgeport officials would exceed their authority. AMUSEMENTS. A FINE PERFORMANCE. Goethe’s immortal “Faust” was pro duced at the Opera House last evening before a delighted audience, and in a manner never equalled on a Wheeling stage. Thu mechanical arrangements, tho stage eflects, which are highly im portant features of this play, were most ingenious and excellent. They must be seen to be appreciated and are so neatly manoeuvred that there is not a hint of “stage business” to distract the at tention from tho sentiment of the play itself. As to the Mephlsto of Mr.* Lewis Morrison little need be said. He may be called the originator of the char acter on the American stage, and the number of his performances run up into the thousands. Miss Florence Roberts is an ideal Marguerite, and showed her self to be an actress of exceptional tal ent and dramatic power. That her vivid and truthful portrayal of the beautiful character was appreciated was fully at tested by the overflowing eyes in the audience and her frequont recalls. The play will be repeated to-night, and those who miss it will miss a treat. OUR COUNTRY COUSIN.
