The other performances are all equally good, p" J, upon the whole, the Hippodrome is the ■**Z& st popular place of resort in New York, I "takes" with the better class —in fact, V' audiences are composed of the best .ople of the city. Of course Barnum is """"""^making money very rapidly—not less than 5,000d015. pel day at a very moderate calcu lation. His expenses are said to be SOOdols. per day, and his receipts 9,000d015. I rather think he is bulling the market in expenses. His Arabs and Turks generally handle bricks and mortar during the day—are mostly on committees for adorning and beautifying the city; extensively engaged in the various callings of trade, and only play noble Romans and fierce Turks at night, and don't get Congressional pay, and Barnum makes a dollar feed several animals, bo they monkeys or elephants.
