Brunswick was enlivened by the
presence in the city, not only of the
show itself, but of the hundreds who
came in from the surrounding'country
to seo the show. The streets were

The parade which moved through
the prioc'pal streets about 10 o’c ock.
exceeded anything of the sort .that has
ever hceu seen in this section of the
state, . ...
At the crpund, tjefora- the doors of
tho big show wore opened, a number of
Vemtvrkitble free axhlhitidttS were given.
On every hand, there were, courteous
attendants ready apd wililhg indirect

in Bruns wick, and thoughts of the “me',
nagerio” attached to the little show
which visited this city last month pro
voked sarcastic smiles from those who
saw the Robinson animal exhibits yes
terday. Tho animals seen yesterday
were nl! of rare and peculiar species,
They were sea-llooa, spotted hyenas,
baby tigers, Asiatic cows, strange crea
tures of the simian world, ferocious leo-
TACfuiselephants of-all sizes, educated
to a degree Sii.i*cply conceivable, and
all manner of unusual specfiSAUf, gatbr* 1
orod by agents of Mr. Robinson from
all the out-of-way quarters of the
globe.
Under the great canopy of canvass
where the tine' riug performance oc
curs, one’s, first impression would be
that the whole population, of Bruns
wibk eould be accommodated in the
tier.; upon tiers ot seats, stretching
about the wide amphitheater.
The performance begins with the
speetaelc, “Solomon the Queen of
Sheba,” a blaze of "inagni fiuenc’r*wh Ich
dazzles the eyrs. The costumer worn in
this spectacle alone exceed in value
the entire property of moat traveling
shows. The scene is first without and
then within the grand temple of Solos
mon, the incident of the two mothers
who claim the same child is faithfully
enated in pantomime, the great King
mounts his gorgeoue throne} and dis
penses imperial justice and then aounds
the blast of trumpets In the distance,
announcing the approach of the mag
nificent cavalcade escorting Sheba’s
beauteous queen to the oourt of the
Wisest of Men. The conrt, its mailed
protectors, and ita long flies of resy
dancing girls go en masse to meet the
queenly visitor, and tho conjoined co
horts of SolonK>fi and Sheba present a
most impressive and Imposing ‘speo

great tent. This magnificent feature

Minister
Wavhiogtoo, Dec. 11—Her VO n Uol
l iben, the imperial German ambasea
dor, diseasing tha Chinese situation,
said,: .
'“The Ghitfesie questiou, so far as vi
ral ieeues are ooneerned, msy be treat
ed as solved. The work of the powers
in China is now one of detail. Contro
versial elements acd units must be
grouped, and administrative functions
must ba made secure. Granting the
postulate that Chinese integrity mu3t
be proserved, there is left of the Qhl
nese situation nothing but careful la
bor to ascertain tfew' relative righte of
all The vital ques
tiqa from this time will be the dispo
sition of the various treaty rights and
concessions. Germany stands for open
ports and free access to the Oriental
Uzde. If new treaties are negotiated—
individually by the powers with China
or oolleotively by the congress of min
isters now in session at Pekin-other
questions of detail and administration
may obtrude themselves.

Tho performance closes with an ex

It is not too much to say that tbe
people of Brunswick were mere than
pleased with tbe Robinson shows.
