gathered at tbe depot yards to watch
the proc; s of unloading, which was
just like the routine work of all other
circuses. The clrcng grounds are
just east of tbe

grounds, on South Willamette street.
The work of raising tbe big tents and
getting things ready for the show was

fore the parade was formed. The
streets were crowded at ten o’clock
by people who bad assembled from
all over the county. It was tbe same
old story, a nice rain falling and peo
ple standing around under awnings or
walking up and down tbe streets tir
ing themselves out, waiting for tbe
parade. When it Orally came they
watched it with considerable com
ment and when it was over the rain-
drenched mass of humanity dispersed,
wondering why one could he so fool
ish for the sake of seeing a circus pa
rade. A large crowd was in attend
ance at tbe afternoon performance.
The old Baying: “When you have
