Tlie show business now seems to run to consolidations, in which the aim is to include the old* 1 style circus,. menageries, museums uud an aggregation of shows exceeding the small affairs ' of a few years ago as much as can bo imagined. In carryingwfCtots plan Mr. Cole did not stop with merely one or two collections but gathered in at once the Great New-York t.'ircus, Trained Animals, &v.; that of the famous New Orleans Menagerie, Museum, &c., and colossal aggregation of the World's Wonder Exhibition, mussed in one grand city of tents of monster proportions.

Naturally, a street procession of an exhibition like this is sutlicient to attract i.o small attention of itself. The parade yesterday more than justified all that has been said of the shew. The chariots and splendifi^"fidKiuines, with all t ie paraphernalia of a circus, were of the most elaborate and costly description ; but the success of the affair is as much owing to the artistic taste of the proprietor as the lavish expense which he has entered into. The performance in the tents was fully worthy of the parade in public. The zoological departments were fully represented. > The rare wild beasts, birds and reptiles, the trained animals, magnificent specimens of oceanic lions in the sub-aquatic mansions, mado up a monster exhibition which would go far to i disprove the late A.
