A SEW STEAMBOAT. Tbe new river steamer "The Reindeer," built by Robertson & Crusen, made its trial trip Tuesday, going up the river as far as Darkee's Ferry, the distance—ten miles—being made in about one and a half hours, including a twenty minute stop. The boat is 115 feet in length, 24 feet beam, with a depth of bold of 3 feet 4 inches in the center and four in the bow.

Bui I want to see your J^iba fold their tent." "Then, come with me at once, or we'll be too late,' said Mr. George O. Starr, guide, philosopher and press agent. This was Friday night.

Tbe six coal black Trakene stallions had already begun their evolutions in the ring, and the pageant ot P. T. Barnum's "new and only greatest show on earth" was in a few minutes to fade from the vision of 8,000 aesthetically contented and morally Instructed citizens of Patterson, V. J. Within the tent there had not been the slightest indication of preparation to take it down. Just without the entrance was a fringe of younger Patersonians whose faces were aglow with Interest and tbe glare of smoking naphtha torches, but there was not the sign of a tent folder. "Now, listen," s'tfd the guide, "for Charley McLean's whistle, and then keep your eyes about you. Charley is tbe boss Arab."

While tbe band inside was yet playing, and before the spectators had gone from their seats, a shrill whistle came out of the darkness. It lasted, perhaps, three or four seconds, and when it had ceased every yard of the canvas wall that had surrounded the great tent bad rustled to the ground. An empty ring and 3,000 persons struggling to emerge into the darkness were visible through the lattice work formed by the raised seats. The roof of the tent yet rested on its supporting poles. The army of slouch-hatted and blue-shirt-sleeved Arabs were now visible, but no order was issued and not a word was uttered. Some caught hold of the long pieces of canvas that lay on the ground, and ran back and forth In the process of folding them up. Some caught up in their arms four seat planks at a time, and delivered them to others who were waiting below to receive them. The lights from within them revealed the presence of scores of wagons backed up and standing in a great circle around the tent. In each one stood a man ready to receive and stow away canvas or other parts of the reat tent, as it should be brought to Jim. When all beneath the roof had been taken away, the roof itself was attacked. First, all of the supports were taken away except the two main ones near the middle—for it is a double peaked tent with the ring situated between the centre poles—and those at the edge. Then the' whistle sounded again. Instantly the whole spread of canvas fluttered silently to tbe earth, like a great white winged sea fowl softly covering her eggs. The centre poles, which pierce th6 canvas, yet stood. Lacings which bold the huge sections of the roof together were quickly drawn out, and the pieces were soon doubled and redoubled into great masses, each of which filled a wagon. Three other large tents had been taken down while the spectators were applauding the circus performance. One of these was for the museum of natural curiosities, one for the menagerie, and one, made of green canvas, served as a green room for the circus tent. 'And now for the Annex,' said the gn'de.

This had consisted of two tents, but one of them had been taken down, because the living curiosities had already gone to the depot. The Annex is aside show conducted with Barnum's circus, by the brothers John and Gee. Bunnell. It might well pretend the title of the new and only greatest side show on earth. It Is the new American Museum, lately of the Bowery, put on wheels. Tickets of admission to it are sold in the circus tent. Entrance to the gentlemen's dressing room from the outside was found under the canvas wall, that was politely lifted by one of tbe employes. A high, blue wagon had spread Its sideboards like wings to form a stage for variety performers. The spectators were shut out from view by canvas curtains. Every salient angle of the wagon was loaded with articles of stage make-up. Open trunks and boxes were all about. When the show stops for only one day, as it did at Paterson, tbe grass serves excellently as a carpet. Wok Sands sat on one corner of his trunk, smoking a clay pipe and ready to "go on" as an old Irish woman. Amy Tudor was doing a high pedestal dance, while her husband stood concealed from view behind the pedestal turning a crank which caused brilliant transformations in the appearance of the pedestal itself. Whiston, the humorist, who is stage manager, had put on a smock frock, in readinoss to go on In tbe character of a country bumpkin, and stood looking lugubriously at Dick Sands, who bad laid aside his pipe and was walking around on the grabs on his hands to exnaust some of his superfluous

*PAtt,the depot there was an exciting scene. It is a railroad show, and the circus, museum, menagerie, and annex employ eighty-two cars, which are all owned by Mr. Barnum and bis associates. Most of these are platform cars. Along train of them waa drawn up on a side track. By the light of flaring naphtha lamps wagon after wagon was drawn up an inclined plane upon tbe rear car, and then run by hand from car to car. This process was continued until the train was full of wagons. Then another train was loaded in the same manner. Heavy beams at the edges of the cars prevent the wagons from running oft The wheels of the wagons are blocked witb pieces of wood which are nailed to the llcor of tbe car. Sheets of thick Iron turning Vertically on hinges form bridges from car to car for the wheels to pass over. The horses are taken from the wagons when they have drawn them to tbe foot of the inclined plane. Then a pulley is attached to each wagon and the strength of one pair of horses la sufficient to send it rapidly up the itfcline, the pole being guided by two men. While all this work waa being done most of the performer* were asleep in tbelr berths.

Car No. 10 carrier tbe living curioaitlee. It Is divided into three sections. In the first sleeps tbe members of the band. In the second ia "Zip," otherwise known as Hiawanata, the Australian Bushman, and the Leonard Boy. Each sleeps in a comfortable oerth. An attendant stays in the compartment with them. Into this appartment is put the baggage of the performers. Sip la a good eater and tdocper, and la always quiet and harmless while on his travels. In the last section sleep Miss Annie Wood, the Mormon giant girl, who ia If yearn old, 5K feet higb. and weighs &16 pounds Zoe Mellke, the Cticassjan lady the Madagasoor family of Albinos, the German Midgets, Mr. George Bunnell, and the variety nerfoitnera. Ail the ladies retired early except Mrs. Tudor and Miss Brooks, who emmpSd themselves into a narrow reeess in front of the washstand, where they mended some arvidoor dress, and dran* *mertemonade brought them by Mr. Tndor. They were cheerful and contented, ap

parentlv, with the scanty acoommodatlona afforded them. Out on the platform congregated most of the male members of toe company. Whiston told humorous stories. Tudor explained how they conducted circuses in England. John Bunnell narrated bow, twentynine years ago, he came to New from Connecticut to buy fish, aid led to invest in oranges instead. \N .» a partner, he bought 3,500 oranges, and then followed Van Amburgh's circus in Connecticut until they went all sold. He then separated from his partner, but continued in the same business the next season. He had 12250 at tbe beginning of the season, and f22 at the end. That was the way he first came to a knowledge of the show business. Ea»h of tbe Bunnell brothers, it is said, made fortunes during tbe seasons of 1S72 and 1873. George subsequently lost $40,000 in the Hippodrome. Prof. Hutchiiigs, ex-lightning calculator, whose impressive manner of assuring his audiences that he wishes they oould be present some time when the Leopard Boy is changing his spots, makes him invaluar ble as a lecturer in the annex museum, listened to Whitson's stories with pensive melancholy. In the night somebody snored. S"That's the fat girl," said a variety perlormer, leaning out of his berth.

Tbe assertion remained uncontradicted until morning, when it was ascertained that tbe sounds had been hurtling through the partition whioh separated the rest of us from Hiawanata, and bad been produced by him or his attendant. Miss Wood does not snore. The same unhandsome suspicion has been broached once or twice before, and she is annoyed at it. The bertha are not very wide, and it has been found absolutely necessary to put two in a berth. Iror this reason, Eoe Melike, the Circassian lady, who is pleasantly slender, has been tbe berth mate of the Mormon giantess in oool weather. They are very close friends.

Yesterday morning tbe deepen found themselves in Jersey City, where the show was to exhibit. Charley McLean, just after daybreak, was on tbe ground selected. Then he marked tbe spots for center props. Measurements were taken, stakes were driven, and in a short time eleven tents lifted their white backs to the sun. Four of these were for tbe horses, and one of them was the cook tent for the employes. In the morning the street procession took place, and just after it had retired to the grounds Mr. George Bunnell performed his great act. The manner of it Is this: When tbe circus arrives in any town, Mr. Bunnell, inquires whether the President of the United States has ever been there. If be is answered in the negative, he glides gracefully but pluckily down the scale of great men until he finds one that has been in the town. Next he inqulree what livery stable furnished the carriage In which the great man rode. This carriage he hires. In the horses' headstall be puts particolored plumes. He himself habitually wears a black felt sombrero. By his side in tbe open carriage rides Eip, tbe Australian bushman. Zip is as proud as a king, and bows and smiles at the populace with all the gface of a Roman general leading up a triumph. Mr. Bunnell gravely givea precedence to his companion. They ride slowly through the principal streets, and whenever the crowa begins to gather at a corner, Mr. Bunnell rises, takes off bis sombrero and remarks that on the —day of 18—, President (or General) rode through the streets of tbe beautiful city in tnat identical carriage. He next informs tbe people that it is at the present time occupied by Hiawanata, tbe great Australian bushman, who Ac., &c.
