BIG CROWDS GO TO CIRCUS.

Performance That Is Usually Seen
Under a Large Tent.

The show tent of the Sells-Floto circus was filled to its capacity at both afternoon and evening performances yesterday, and everyone seemed to enjoy the efforts of the regiment of performers to entertain. Every seat within the tent was occupied long before the time for starting and, with few exceptions, all remained in their places until the final spectacle, the driving of fifty horses by a single woman who stood on the back of one of the horses.

The fun section of the show was composed of fifty picked clowns, and during their occupation of the arena there was something doing all the time.

Aerialists in troupes gave the customary daredevil stunts at the top of the canvas.
