WALLACE SHOWS Two Excellent Performances Yesterday Were Very Well Attended, The Work of Aérobats and Riders ‘Was Remasiable in Many Re- spects—Many ‘Novel Features, The people of: Washington were treated to an exhibitiom of sare feats of skill and to various wonderfud novelties at the great Wallace shows yesterday. The circus came to town early ‘yesterday morning and pitched its mammoth tent on the lot at the corner of North Capitol and L streets. It took three trains to bring the effects of the circus to town and 1,500 performers and workmen came with the show. The Wallace shows were not familiar to the public here, though they are famous in other parts of the country. Any un- certainty that might have existed in the minds of some as to the character of the shows was goon dissipated by the extensive- ness of the menagerie of rare animals and the performances by the most skillful art- ists of the ring. The performances yester- day were at 2 and 8 o'clock;. both of which were witnessed by crowds of people. Con- certs were given during an hour before the performance, the music being superior to that usually heard on such occasions. The Performance Excellent. Tke performance was a wonder to the vast assembly gathered in the tent, con- structed to seat 10,000 people. The enter- tainment was given on a central stage, two rings and in a race course surrounding them. The grand entree was a bewildering sight. It was a triumphal pageant, rep- resenting the festival of Olympus. There were elephants, camels, horses, chariots and a troop of armored Amazons, all bril- Nantly bedecked. As the pageant made its exit two score of shapely amazons were left on the central stage, and the difficult maneuvers executed by them called forth much applause. ‘Then there was a clever performance on aerial horizontal bars by the three Petets, styled “Kings of the Air.” Their tricks were all new and novel and executed in fine style. One, as the clown, did original funny work that was greatly enjoyed. Fol- lowing this came some comedy skating by the Martell family, two small tots adding much to the act. The same family gave an exhibition of trick bicycle riding also that was exceedingly good. Daring Horsemanship. The ladies’ riding act, by Miss Blanche Reed and Mme. Nelson, was a wonder of daring horsemanship. The little Nelson sisters gave a display in wire walking that called forth the plaudits of the assembly for the skill of the small tots. Two little pug dogs did a riding turn that was well receiv Miss Blanche Reed and Miss Sal- lie Hughes gave an exhibition of riding on the two trick horses, Sultan and Glencoe, who have become quite famous. A princi- pal somersault act by Oscar Lowande, one of the famous circus family cf that name, and Joe Leicher, was followed by four members of the Werntz family, who gave an exhibition of aerial trapeze work that was remarkable. This act rivals that of the famous Flying Jordans. There was a baliet, led by three premiers; a boxing match by Mead and Della; head balancing by Rowenna, and: performance on the bounding wire byi Lizzie Petit. The Belson Family. The wonder of:ihe show was the famous Nelson family, nine in number, with ages from four to forty. The Nelsons are re- garded as the most»wonderful acrobats on earth, and their exhibition was a marvel of skill. The Nelsens ikept the undivided at- tention of the audéence for twenty min- utes and created estonishment at their feats. Other numbers on the program were Lowande and Reno: McCree, Miss Sansoni, the female Sandow; feats of contortion By the two clever Itttlé Nelson sisters, Trilby, the only singiag donkey, introduced by Girard Leon, and tHe trained and educated horses. The show was-concluded by half-a-dozen exciting charist,"horge jand pony races, the pony race, with monkey jockeys, calling forth much fun. 1 Two performances will-be slyen today, at 2 o'clock: in the afternoen and at $ p.m. —— $5.00 Excursions tothe Seashore $5.00 via Penusylvania Ballroad.

The sail, both going and re- turning, is enlivened by selections of the latest and most popular airs by Professor Schroeder’s Band. On the trip both to and from Indian Head the Mecalester will stop at Marshall Hall, thus giving those who went down on the early boats a chance to enjoy the sal) to the Head and back with- out extra charge. The dancing at the Hall has become a settled thing with hundreds of people, and they go regularly each Fri- day night especially to enjoy this pastime, where they do not get overheated, the cool river breezes making the grounds perfectly comfortable all the while. For the gentle- men’s accommodation, a barber shop has been provided on the Macalester. For the bicyclists who care to take their wheels the company has arranged a place, and all wheels will be carried free of charge. An all-day excursion by the Grace Luth- eran Church will be given tomorrow. Those who are desirous of spending a day down the river can select no mcre enjoyable oc- casion than this will be. A program of the first order has been planned for the mem- bers and friends of the church. A pleas- ant day is guaranteed to all who join the party; a cool day in the shade and cool breezes of Marshall Hall being the most ccmfortable way of passing a day possible to find. The River Queen will carry the ex- cursion, and leaves her wharf at 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The Wednesday trips to River View yes- terday were attended by a throng of 1,200 people, who spent a delightful day on ‘the ccol and shady lawns of that popular re- scrt, and only returned home when the last’ boat came up. There was music and dancing all day, and the chute and other attractions afforded amusement to many. Today the well-known Caledonian Club is at River Véew, and has an interesting pro- gram of athletic sports, ete., for the enter- tainment of their friends. Saturday will be the regular family day at the View. SS Reduced Rates on Account of Inter- Collegiate Boat Races via Pennsyl- Vania Railroad.

He also made reference to the neglected condi- tion of the grave of the late Sayles J. Bowen, and in connecticn therewith spoke of the great service he (Bowen) had ren- dered the republican party and the race, and he hoped therefore that something would be done to secure at least a tomb- stone to mark his last resting place. In pursuance of the colonel’s suggestion, a motion was agreed to that a committee of three be appointed to devise ways and means to erect a tombstone over the grave of the late Sayles J. Bowen. ——— Fragrant Carnations, 25c. doz. Advertisement. ee FAST RIDING. Bicycle Wheels That Went Around Too Fast. Robert Cranston was in a hurry yester- day afternoon to reach his father’s store near the corner of 15th street and Penns: vania avenue. He was riding a bicycle and passed Policeman Duvall at such a high rate of speed that the officer of the law started in pursuit. Cranston was soon overhuuled and escorted to a police sta- tion. In the Police Court today he declared to Judge Kimball that he was moving just about as fast as were the cable cars. “Seventeen miles an ‘hour was his rec- ord,” stated the policeman, “Five follars fine,” ruled the court.
