This morning the cavalcade of John Robinson's great show paraded the principal thoroughfares of the city. Large crowds congregated at various points on the streets to witness it, and were not disappointed. It was by far the largest and most superb display of the kind ever seen in Utah. The vehicles were not only numerous but fresh and beautiful, while the animals were all neat and trim, some being gaily caparisoned. The costumes of the riders were exceedingly fine, without any of the faded appearance common to ordinary shows. To sum it all up, the exterior exhibition indicates that the show is the best, most fully equipped and complete that has ever visited this Territory."
