Oi The regular w Inter theatrical season was apened at Boyd's theater last night with 'Brown's in Town , " a three-act farce comedy , w the attraction. There waa a good sized ludlence present to witness this decidedly lumorous bit of play writing , which was done by Mark Swan , and which enjoyed such a prosperous run In Chicago last season. Although t-hough It was frowned down upon by the N'ew York critics and called a "conglomera tion of rot , " those who witnessed H last svenlng will certainly agree that it Is fully is bright If not more BO than the majority 3f farce comedies that are turned out now adays by aspiring young playwrights.

CIRCUS SUNDAYS IN OMAIU Ringling Brothers' ' Blp Show Gomes in i Day Ahead.

It la a world within Itself and Its sights and sounds are thoroughly characteristic. The mammoth cook house , with Its great ranges and corps of busy workers preparing the meals for the army of circus emplojcs , the harness shop , whore the hundreds of har nesses have to bo dally Inspected , and , when necessary , repaired or replaced ; the ahvnjs busy farrier and his staff of assistants , tha horde of canvasmen , seeming to bo never Idle , even on Sunday ; the circus barber hidden away In some cranny of the show lot , but alwa > s In demand these are all characteristics which never fall to leave a lasting Impression on the crowd , while the trumpeting of the elephants , the roar of the lions , the snarl of the hyenas and the other weird sounds that come from the sedulously guarded menagerlo are sufficiently parent to raise the expectations of the joungcr ele ment to the seventh heaven of anticipated delights on the morrow. The coming tl Ringling Bros. ' clrcua has been av.nlted with peculiar Interest thla year , and this ( act will help to swell the Sunday crowd on the show grounds. Reports of our success In other cities have multiplied , and there is no doubt that the public expects a ycat show , and one fully up to the high standard hitherto set by us. That there will bo any disappointments does not admit of doubt. The roster of performers and the remarkable number of big trained animal features offered Ithis jear should bo a sufficient evidence of the extraordinary char acter of the performance. "Circus day will , of course , bo Inaugurated with the usual street parade and not iho "usual" street parade , either , for reports from elsewhere confirm the announcement that Ringling Bros. ' street display this ( sea son surpasses not only anything of the kind ever seen in the United Stateo , but discounts nil of the previous notable parades organized by us. The parade Is largely military In character and has contributed in a consider able measure to the arousing of patriotic ardor among the people wherever It has been seen. The display Is divided Into thirty scc- tlcns , each complete in Itself , and each rep resenting Bomo particular era in the history of the world , and in conjunction comprising what is declared to bo the most beautiful and bewilderingly magnificent display of handsomely-caparisoned horses , gorgeously- attired men , women and children , exquis itely-carved and ornate -cages and massive tableaux ever seen In any city In the world. Wo give two performances , and each will bo equally complete and comprehensive. The Initial one Is at 2 o'clock and the final one at 8 p. m. "Tho performance will open with our now spectacular tournament , entitled 'The Light of Liberty. ' Although this Is simply Intended as a prelude to the performance. It Is strikingly effective in conception and remarkably complete In execution. Like the parade , It Is military in character. Hundreds of characters nnd horses are utilized In tbo display , and the exhibition of costly armors , brilliant uniforms and dazzling accoutrements Is said to be beauti ful in the extreme. The display Is in effect i glorious deification of 'Old Glory , ' and its effect upon an audience Is elevating and Irresistible. The performance that follows commands the services of fully 300 European and American specialists. "Tho trained animal features , of which much has been said nnd much Is expected , embrace O'Brien's wonderful1 sixty-one horse act , in which this unusual number 3f handsome equlncs perform together at sne time , In one ring , under the direction Df their famous trainer. Lockhnrt's comedy elephants are retained , and gratlfylngly so , but their performance Is reinforced by the ivondorful exhibitions of Bonder's elephant jrass band and Marchand's pugilistic pachyderms , both features of unlquo In terest. The two hours' performance will be brought to an exciting close by the hip podrome racea , which are run by blooded rfock and entirely on their merits. . "Tho circus has become an enterprise run > n business principles and we realize that , ho only way to secure and retain the public patronage Is by putting up ttio best show ind satisfying the people that they get their money's worth. In this respect we are not ifrald of suffering public displeasure. " PERSONAL PARAURAPHS , Mr. nnd Mrs. Ed R.
