THE BURLINGTON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAYRIDING WONDERS WITH THEHAGENBECK-WALLACE SHOWexhibits were put on in the spacebetween the rings in the tiers ofseatr occupied by the spectators. Twelve or 15 elephants formed a procession which lined up in front of the reserved seats, facing theiroccupants and bowed, played “dead.** stood on their hind legs and exhibited numerous other phases of their company manners.”Beautiful horses ridden by pretty women, as much at home on the unsaddled backs of the black and white and sorrel steeds, as more sedentary damsels would be at a bridge table, danced, curtsied and humbled themselves graceously while the band played Song of Lover” and I Wonder What’s Become of Sally.”Ladders suspended outside of the rings enabled fairylike feminine acrobats to swing out over the heads of the crowd as they performed onthe ladders.Many Surprises.One of the surprises of the circus is the bursting forth into songof these women, each one in the steel frame of her ladder, swinging rhytbmatically as she smiled down upon the upturned faces. The chorus is an engaging one, and one was inclined to wonder if Mr. Hag-enbeck or Mr. Wallace hadn’t taken a leaf from the Follies of Ziegfleld.Another chorus was formed by equistriennes in red hunting jackets when their horses formed a procession preliminary to a thrilling Jumping contest. These young women sang a hunting song as they rode around the track. A pack of hunting dogs led the procession.Bars were erected and the horses trained to jump gave a splendid exhibition.Clowns were everywhere and theypresented some interesting and novel pantomine.Dog and monkey acts, boxing kangaroos, a seal act introducing several new stunts, trained ponies and numerous other features helpedto keep the vast audience Interested.The circus band was one of punch and ginger, as was noticed in the street parade before noon. After thebig show a wild west performance was put on, many remaining for this performance.The sideshows too, proved alluring to many who attended the main show as well as to many who visited the freak shows only. An appearance of order and efficiency, and a remarkable degree of cleanliness were aspects of the circus which helped to stamp it as first class this afternoon.RUSSIA WILL BE AMERICA'S RIVALPRODUCING MEATOmaha, Neb., Aug. 5.—(By the Associated Press.)—Russia will be America’s greatest competitor in the production of meat when a stablegovernment is established in that country, E.
