It transpires In the natural course of events that an Irish. man's confetti ig the brick bat, which would have been, out of place in the vast throng that crowded the Foresters' tent last evening at the opening of the mid-winter circus' Pretty girls and homely men Jostled good-naturedly un der the canvas, and in the bright glare of the lights pelted each other with confetti, until it filled the eyes, the ears and other wearing apparel. For several days yet the crowd will gather to ln dulge in the harmless amusement, for the show is an exceptional one and will furnish a place of unalloyed entertain ment. At 7:30 last night the "monstrous' parade was held.- First came Colonel Hardeaty, the famous old spieler, who made his announcements from a car- lage drawn by two broken-down plugs. Then followed Susie's band, made up of such lobsters as Swone, Bille Elgner, and others. The "monstrous" part of the tournout brought up the rear, where Andrew Mulgity could be seen with a megaphone, through which he urged the crowd to "follow the flag." The parade' had the effect of drawing out the people and the streets were lined for blocks. As Old Man Hardesty cried out from his dumtfeart, the crowd Jeered him, crying, "Shut up, you lob ster!" and employing other slmlllar ex presalons. ' But the old man bore It in silence and held up his gray head with characteristic defiance. Before the men who took the money drew aside the curtain entranaes the crowd was there, with the price of ad mission in Its hand. There was a rush that would have gladdened the soul of the lamented P. T. Barnum, whose memory was recalled because of his fa mous expression, "The American people lov to be fooled." In less than a Jiffy th crowd had swarmed Into the tent, and the confetti butchers began their career of crime. It was S a shot, and there were more shota than during the revolution. While the merry-makers em enjoyed themselvesetaolnshrdlucm era carried out the evening's program on the platform. Axel led the bunch generally directing affairs, and there were enacted many pleasing and mysti' fying events. The crowd thronged the big tent until a late hour and dropped In to see the side shows on the way out. Dirty Dora, who eats mud, held the attention of the crowd in one of the side shows, where Mr. Arthur Callan acted as Interpreter., Mr. Callan speaks a wonderful language and Dora is a wonderful girl (albeit a small boy accepted Mr.- Callan's Invitation to eat some of the mud.) Just acroas the way was the art gal lery, where numerous peek holes were provided. The oaslfled pig, that had been so extensively advertised, proved, on Inspection, to be a bar of pig Iron, while what Is pronounced to have been the greatest Invention of the age must be se3n to be appreciated. The peek hole labeled, "Bar report-schooner in sight," stioweii large beef glass, while a broken glass was said to haye been "wrecked on '.he bar." Then there was Astoria's choice for president, Senator Fulton's picture being displayed, and so many other maoy other scenes that it would 'ake six weeks to recount them all. The opening night was a decided suc cess, speakingvolumes for the energy of the Foresters, and the attendance pipm lses to be even greater during the re mainder of the week. Richard Golden's "Old Jed Prouty" at Fishers' .tomorrow night Is a play de pictlng life , in a country village in Maine. The mere statement as a mat ter of publi ration, carries as much inter est as any other play. But to become a witness to a genuine reproduction of life' history, embodying the lights and shades of sorrow and mirth, and al ways conscious that it is there, we have before us a history, and the actors are simply a reproduction of men and wo men who really exist. While we laugh heartily at the quaint sayings of "Old Jed Prouty," we are conscious that we are moved by the simplicity of the story, for a time forget that It Is a stage picture, in the absorbing Interest of the various characters.
