THE CIRCUS PARADE.

The ; (Jollmar Brother circus parade took place at 10:30 this Monday morning and was witnessed b? an almost surprisingly large crowd of people; and these spectators were rewaided for the presence by a wholly surprisingly good parade. In fact, it was generally considered as good and large and showy a parade as any circus has made in Rensselaer, for a long time past, not excepting that of the better known and much more boastful Wallace aggregation. There were many grand and gorgeous wagons and oars in the parade, drawn by teams of six arid eight fine horses, animal cages in p’enty, some open and some closed, and in one of them a man and Jrtioirjwere riding peacefully to gether, and in another a man and two lions. L idy ’perforinbrs on horse baoa were aot wanting, nor racing Roman chariots, nor clowns in queer conveyances. The parade was headed by the big band wagon and ended by the big steam calliope.
