(’orro.v.—Our streets have been

“ Not For .Toe.”—In our police re
ports last week, we were mistaken in a

difficulty with the woman, not Joe
Griffeth. Wo are glad to hear it, as
.Toe is very qniet and orderly.

ceremony between Mr. Green Blair
and Mias Mary Scagraves, of this dty.
The ceremony was performed by the

benign and eloquent manner. The

all parties looked remarkably well.

son. We wish the couple a happy
journey through life.
Fine Horses and Mules.—We

a large turn out, as it will be a grand
affair.
Daniel's Magic Oil.—Persons af
flicted with rheumatism would do well
to read the certificate, in our adver
tising columns, of the Rev. Britton
Sanders, of White county. We arc
glad to hear that this oil is meeting
with such success, as every one who has
ever used it pronounces it just what
it is represented.
To Our Farmers.—Don't leave
Athens without first calling on Messrs.
( hilds, Nicherson & Co. and examin
ing their Chicago Farm Pomp. It is
just what 3’ou have so long needed.
If you don’t want that you will besure
to find something else to save labor.
Dickson’s Compound.—We are
glad to see our farmers arc investing
♦*> heavily in this unsurpassed Fertil-
1 rcr. It has been tried for years, and
has proved to be just the thing so long
needed fey the Georgia planter. Eng
land k Orr are the agents in this city,
and keep a large stock constantly on
kind.
The Epizootic.—Wo learn that
there is one cose of ”this horse disease
in Athens.
A Shame.—Last Tuesday we no
ticed two men, with a small package
each, leave one of our stores, followed
by a delicate lady, who, upon enquiry,
we learned was their mother, shoulder
ing a large sack of flour. The bur
then appeared to weary her very much,
but neither of her grown sons relieved
1 her of it. Ku-Kl ux!
W. A. Weatherly, Esq.—We

J. P. Dorsey.—Our friend J. P.
Dorsey, came within eight votes of get
ting the nomination for Tax Receiver
for Clark county. Mr. Dorsey stated
to his friends that he did not think he
would lie a candidate, as the condition
of his family was such that it would
be very inconvenient for him to attend
to the office if elected. We learn that
he got a full vote of the city. The
Club have selected a very competent
and clever gentleman, a man who
fought nobly for his country, a dis
abled soldier, who deserves the votes
and sympathy * of the county. Wc
wish him success.
Another Death.—We learn that
Mrs. Dale died on Saturday last.
She was sick with pneumonia, and we
understand that her death was very
unexpected. Mrs. Dale had been
married about a year, and she left a
child. We had no acquaintance with
her, but she is spoken of in the high
est terms by her acquaintances. It is
a heavy calamity to Mr. Dale, who is
said to be a very industrious, clever
gentleman. We learn from their ac
quaintances that they lived very hap
pily and comfortable, each doing their
duty faithfully. Mr. Dale has our
sympathy in his troubles. May he
who “ tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb,” watch over and protect the
motherless infant.
Rose Glycerine Lotions.—It is
said by young ladies that the most
effectual cure for chaped lips is the
“ essence of two lips.” As a general
thing, young men agree with them, but
il they will only give the Rose Glyce
rine Lotion a fair trial, they will
acknowledge that it is far superior to
anything of the kind, particularly in
preparing the lips fbr the two-fip rem
edy. It is also a superior remedy for
chaped hands. It is prepared by R.
T. Brumby & Co. These gentlemen
are regular Druggists and Pharmacist®.
What they recommend can be relied
on, and found at their store on College
Avenue, Athens, Georgia. Ladies
will find it greatly to their advantage
to purchase some of it if their hands or
lips are apt to chap.
Mr. Sidney Barr.—We had the
pleasure, on Wednesday last, of a visit
from this gentleman, of Habersham
county. Mr. J&^rd is one of the old
est subscribers to the Southed Banner,
(now Northeast Georgian,) haring
taken it for forty-two years. Although
now in his seventy-third year, no one
would ever take him to be more than
fifty-five or sixty, so hale and vigorous
is his appearance. Mr. B. says he
has never taken a dose of medicine in
his life, and can now do as good a day’s
work as the next roan. We hope he
may continue to be thus blessed, and
live to take the Georgian a hundred
years longer. He is visiting Athens
for the purpose of witnessing the nup
tials of his grand-daughter, Miss Eng
land, which took place last night.
Marriage in Augusta.—Mr. Cal
houn, engineer on the Georgia Road,
and Miss Frances Seott, of Augusta,
were married in that city Tuesday eve
ning last, and immediately embarked
on the train and arrived in Athens the
next morning. We are a personal
friend to both parties, and can say,
with truth, that one might search the
Universe and not find a more agreea
ble, clever pair. We think, too, that
the}’ are well matched, for we know
Mr. C. will make a kind and tender
husband, and Miss “Frank” a most
noble wife. May peace and happiness
always dwell with them.
We tender our thanks to Mrs. Cal
houn for a very nice cake.

Fatal Accident.—Friday night
last, a lad about twelve or fourteen
years of age, the son of a widow, lady,
(Mrs. Craig) of Banks county, acci
dently shot himself. He died imam
diately from the wound. We have not
learned particulars.
Fatal Accident.—On Friday
last, several little children were play
ing on some cotton seed at the house
of Mr. Bonds, about eight miles from
Athens. During the play, a little
child of Mr. Bonds’ fell, when another
child fell upon her, which caused the
death of the former. We did not hear
the full particulars of the sad accident.
We tender to the bereaved parents
our deepest sympathy.
More Tobacco.—A few days
since, as we were passing the store of
E. S. England & Co. our young
friend, Mr. Mackie, who is staying
with them, presented us with a plug of
fine chewing tobacco. It is really fine.
No coperas or molasses about it, but
the pure tobacco. We take pleasure
inrecommendingit. This firm appears
to lie doing a good business, and we
like them very much. The other day
one of them handed us a very nice
comb, for which we return our thanks.
It is strange such good men put their
right under a bushel. They had bet
ter put it in the Northeast Geor
gian, where it can be seen from Maine
to Texas. But we think they intend
advertising. Judging from our friend
England’s countenance, his conscience
is smiting him for not having done so.
We believe Dick is a conscientous,
honest, man, and he can’t stand it
much longer. It is hard to kick
against the pricks. Come in early,
gentlemen, before the paper is too full.
We Can’t See It.—One Lewis
Wain Smith by name, and by title
thereunto appended “ Alternate
United States Commissioner for Geor
gia,” writes us to do a job of free ad
vertising. He sends us a copy of “ an
address by the United States Centen
nial Commission to the people of the
United States” and suggests that we
dead head the same. Tha thing is a
card for the big fair that the Philadel
phians propose to have in honor of the
one hundreth aniversary of American
Independence at Philadelphia, from
the 1st of May to the 1st of December,
1876.
We will not publish the article.
We are sorry we ever had a United
States, and, perhaps, the only error
that Gen. Washington ever committed
was when he desolved the connection
with gentleman to form an alliance
with Yankee clock-peddlers and
wooden nutmeg-venders. A greater
portion of the hundred years has been
passed by the South in making cotton
to build up Northern cities, railroads
and canals. If this man Lewis Wain
Smith wants the article published, we
will do so at our usual rates of adver
tising, cash in advance. We don’t
dead head anything of the sort We
don’t aid any people who have “ laugh
ed us to scorn in our calamity.”
Hon. Henry Beusse.—Thisgentle-
man’s name was put before the citizens
as a candidate for re-election to the
Mayorality. His friends are very
nnmerous and were anxious to sec him
again in office. Mr. Beusse, however,
declined running on the night of the
meeting, as he though it would interfere
with a new business he is about enter
ing into. Mr. Beusse has been a most
efficient, useful and energetic Mayor,
anu has done everything in his power
to builu up the city. We have often
attended his courts, and were pleased
with his dignified rn’inncr of presiding.
His discissions were rnCde promptly,
without fear, tavor or affection. It is
with regret we see him vacate the o3ce.
In our intercourse with him, both as
nu officer and as a citizen, he has al
ways shown what he is, an honorable
gentleman. We sincerely hope he will
be as successful and as popular in his
new vocation as he deserves. We can
say, with truth, that we have never
heard aught against him, either as a
man or as an officer. He will retire
from the Mayoralty with the respect of
the citizens, and the good will of alL
I. O. O. F.—The glorious time at
Oliver Emcampment on the first
Thursday in December. It is the duty
and will be to the pleasusure of every
Patriarch to attend.
A Curiosity.—We were shown, on
Tuesday last, a dead pig, which had
two perfectly formed mouths, two
tongues, and two sets of teeth. In ev
ery other respect it was perfect. The
gentlemen who showed it to us said its
mother was a very fine Chester sow, ;
that he had to kill on account of her
chicken-eating propensities. The pig
was fully developed, and had the form
of a very fine animal. It is a great
pity it could not have lived until Bar-
num made his appearance among ns,
as the great showman would have wel
comed its addition to his ranks as a
precious gem. One of our physicians
has taken it in charge, and is preserv
ing it in alcohol.

TIIE MAYOR’S COURT.
nOX. nENRY BEUSSE, PRESIDING.
The following persons were up before
his Hon. Henry Beusse, on Monday
last. We were absent at Jefferson
Court, and have to be again indebted
to our young friend, Mr. Mitchell, the
excellent and clever Clerk of Council,
which position we hope he will retain
as long as he wishes. We know the
city can’t find a better one, and we
doubt if they can get his equal. He
is just what a Clerk ought to be—fully
competent in every respect, kind and
accommodating in his office, always
ready and willing to oblige.

ATrial of Fifty Years.—The
New York Observer has passed through
the ordeal, and starts out anew on the
Becond fifty years with a larger list of
readers and more numerous friends
than ever. Such a steady course of
prosperity is exampled, and inspires
confidence. We heartily rejoice in the
great succcess of a paper which has
always advocated those sound princi
ples that underlie the foundations of
society and good government; Ortho
dox in the truest sense, both in
Church and State, its .influence is
always good. We see its publishers
propose to give to every subscriber for
1678 an appropriately embellished
Jubilee Year-Book. Those who sub
scribe will have no cause to regret the
step. $3 a year. Sidney E. Morse
& Co., 37 Park Row, New York.
Longs & Billups.—In our issue of
to-day, will be seen the advertisement
of Longs & Billups. We have been
several times in their Drug Store, and
lound it well supplied with everything
in their line. Their store is large and
roomy, handsomely and neatly fitted
up, in just the style that any person
acquainted with these gentlemen would
suppose it would be done. They have
a large and handsome assortment of
perfumery, soaps, combs, brushes and
everything else usually found in a first
class drug store. To the citizens of
Athens, it is useless to speak of this
firm. Here they are known and ap
preciated. To visitors to our dty, we
say call on them. You will find they
are thoroughly conversant with their
business, agrecble, high-toned gentle
men, who sell good bargains and first
rate articles. That is what those who
deal with them say—we can only speak
of their wares by reports, wearebutpoor
judges of drugs, paints or oils. We
profess to be judges of men, and can
say, without fear of contradiction, that
any person will do well in making
purchases of this firm. We believe
them to be gentlemen in every sense of
the word. Their derks are very at
tentive, pleasant yonng gentlemen.
Give thema call, and they will be found
just as we represent them.

federate Monumental Association of

Mr. Smythe exhibits his patriotic
sentiment in tendering the net pro

PROFESSOR L W. HALLAMS
ENTERTAINMENT.
On Wednesday evening last, incom
pliance with an invitation extended us
from Professor Hallam, we had the
pleasure of attending the Private
Musical Soiree, which was the second
one of the series, gotten up for the en
tertainment of a select circle of bis
personal friends. We' hfehrd it rumor
ed that the Professor had secured the
best musical talent in Athens to assist
to render his soiree a success, and we,
knowing the profioiency of Prof. H.
himself iA this accomplishment, went
prepared to feast our ears upon a rare
musical treat But our pleasure can
better be imagined than described when
we say, by waj of introduction, that
the entire affair, from first to last, was
far ahead of anything our most bril
liant ideas could conceive.
We arrived at the Hall at the hour
appointed, 7§ o’clock, .and found every
seat occupied. We l|*ve never seen
assembled together a more refined or
intelligent audience. We suspicioned
the Professor of confining his invita
tions, so for as the ladies were concern
ed, to the fairest of their sex, for we
do think, if he had secured, the selec
tion of the State, he could not have
gathered together a greater array of
beauty than that assembled in his
rooms on the occasion.
The hall was made comfortable in
every way, and nothing neglected that
added either to the comfort or pleas
ure of his guests.
At the hour appointed the Professor
appeared, and having arranged the
piano, announced that the perform-
ance would commence with an over
ture—“Poet and Peasant”—by himself
and Mrs. Burke.
Wc were very much pleased with
the appearance of Mrs. B., for her
every movement denoted the refined
and cultivated lady, and as soon we
witnessed the grace and ease with
which she advanced and took her seat,
and the artistic manner in which she
ran her fingers over the keys of the
instrument, we knew that there was a
musical treat in store for us of an ex
traordinary character. Our expecta
tions were more than realized, for never
did we listen to a more charming ren
dition of this lovely piece than that
given by this Indy and gentleman.
This piece concluded, a friend whis
pered us to now prepare ourselves
for something that lias not been sur
passed since the fair Swedish Nightin
gale threw the whole country in ecsta-
cies over her voice. He had hardly
ceased speaking when there advanced
from among the audience a most regal
looking young lady, who had not only
“ music in her soul,” but music in her
eyes, expression, and even walk. Miss
Wilde,- of Ban FnmciwOf fbr ouch was
this lady, now advanced and stood by
the piano, at which Professor Hallam
was seated, and commenced that beau
tiful song, by Suppe, “Apentano.”
We have listened to Nilsson, Patti and
hosts of other celebrites, but never in
our lives did so sweet, clear and finely-
cultivated a voice greet our ears. At
first we were charmed, then enraptured
and entranced, so angelic was her
voice. She sang frequently during
the evening, and each song appeared
to be an improvement, if possible,
upon the other. Among her songs
were “ Good-bye, Sweetheart,” “Kiss
Waltz,” and “Judith.” As to the lat
ter song, wo can only speak of the
tune, as the words were French, and
it being some time since we £kve visit
ed that nation, our French knowledge,
as well as dialect, has become rather
rusty. But we will take it for granted
that the words were beautiful, as the
tune was entrancing, and being deliv
ered in .that sylph-like voice of Miss W.
was charming. Words are inadequate
to form a comparison to the voice of
this young lady. It at times, as the
song permits, passes away into the faint
echoing, as of heavenly seraphs, and
then gradually swells into such a sweet,
yet thrilling rise, that the listener is
entranced, and, for the time, almost
imagines himself transported to the
realm? of the blessed. We understand
that Miss Wilde received her musical
instruction in .Europe, under tho same
instructor as Jenny Lind. By special
request, this lady repeated “Good-bye,
Sweetheart 1” ,
Tl»e next lady who appeared was
Miss Stanford, a pupil at the Lucy
Cobb, who is taking musical instruc
tion from Professor Hallam. The
piece she selected was that most diffi
cult solo by Welhij “Home, Swee
Home,” which was rendered in a style
that not only did great honor to her-
self, but reflected credit upon Professor
Hallam, her teacher. We congratu
late the Professor upon having such a
charming and proficient young lady
for a pupil, and assure him he could
not have a better advertisement than
the superior skill of Miss S.
The programe was interspersed with
some beantiful pieces on the flute, by
Professor Willcox, in which he was as
sisted by Mrs. Burke and Mr. Hallam
The entire affair was a grand success
throughout, and we return our sincere
thanks to Professor Hallam and the
ladies and gentlemen who assisted, for
one of the'most delightful entertain
ments it has ever been our pleasure to
witness.

A FIRST-CLASS ESTABLISHMENT
Some time since we promised to give
our readers an account of these cele
brated shops, which have gained such
a reputation for turning out good and
handsome work.
Upon our visit to this establishment
we found Mr. Nicherson, agent and
superintendent, at his post, as he al
ways is, and upon making known our
business, he readily complied with our
request to look through the various
departments, and placed us under the
charge of Mr. Schevenel, book-keeper,
to who we will now tender our thanks
for the great pains he took to expain
the workings of the difibrent branches
of the business. We have not a parti
cle of mechanism in our soul, but we
nevertheless take great pleasure in ex
amining everything connected with
the business.
In our tour through the building we
were surprised to see the amount of
work turned out, as well as the supe
rior manner in which it is finished.
None but first-class and experienced
workmen are employed by Mr. Nick
erson, which is the secret of every part
of the machine or article turned out
being just what it ought
It is a treat to visit the room in
which the patents are stored away. It
is a separate building from the shops,,
and is piled up to the top with every
kind of patent, from the minutest arti
cle to the most pondrous water wheel.
Here we find the -imprint of every
thing ever made in these works, which
has turned out so many different arti
cles. We think it would take just
about two ordinary life-times to give
all the patents proper attention.
Every branch of the business is car
ried on here, from the moulding of the
iron to finishing it off in the most ap
proved style. There is a large num
ber of workmen constantly employed
in each room, which enables these
works to complete large jobs in an in
credible short space of time. We were,
at first, astonished at the amount of
work that was done here, but when
we were reminded of the large section
of country that they supplied with
machinery and casting, the fact ceased
to excite our wonder.
Many of our farmers still cling to
the idea that they cannot buy a steam
engine, saw mill, sugar mill, cotton
seed crusher, thresher, corn shellcr, or
anything else without going to Atlan
ta, or Augusta, or to the North. To
such we will say, don’t for a moment
entertain any such idea. First come
to the Athens Foundry and Machine
Works, where you will find any kind
of machinery or castings you want,
manufactured in your own section, by
your own men, which you can buy at
the lowest prices. Everything sold by
Mr. Nickerson will be found to be just
: what he says it is, and if it does not
so prove, all you have to do is to carry
it back, and satisfaction is guaranteed.
No inferior work is ever permitted to
leave these shops. Every machine,
before it is placed upon the market, is
carried through a thorough examina
tion, and if the least flaw is tound in
any of the works it is condemned and
set aside.
Mortuary Report of Athens.—
We were informed that, during the
present year, there has been eighty-
one deaths in Athens, of which sixty-
three were black and eighteen whites.
This goes to prove very conclusively
that the negro race, since emancipa
tion, is passing away very rapidly.
The whites, in this city, are largely in
the majority, but still the number of
deaths among the blacks almost quad
ruples the superior race. The Yankees
need not shout “Ku-Klux” to this an
nouncement, for we have never, since
our sojourn in Athens, heard of the
first difficulty between the races. The
negroes behave themselves, as a gen
eral thing, very well, and our citizens
have no desire to impose upon or in
jure them. There great decrease is
owing to their present lewd way of
living, tlie want of proper food, and
the filthy condition of their persons.
We think we can safely predict that,
in the course of ten years, this race
in the South will be as few and far
between as the Indian.
JE;F1R O f COURT.
Last Monday morning we called at
Mr. Cooper’s Livery Stable, where we
obtained a buggy and a very fine little
bay horse, and started for Jefferson, to
attend the Coart for Jackson county.
We arrived in the town after dinner, in
company with a young triend, who
suggested that we stop at Mr. Ran
dolph’s Hotel. As it was our first visit,
we had no choice in the matter. We
found the Hotel all that we could ask.
Mr. Randolph is one man who knows
how to keep a hotel. He is vety at
tentive to his guests, the ; table well
supplied, and every dish well cooked.
The beds are neat and comfortable.—
As soon as you enter the house, you see,
at a glance, that the ladies who man
age in Scon are thoroughly domestic.
Everything looks dean and comforta-*
ble. They move through the house
neat in appearance as possible, no noise,
no bustle, no scolding servants—all
tilings moving on quietly. They are
very aggreeable, and a stranger feels at
home in a few minutes with this kind
family. After pitrtaklng of a well
prepared dinner, we walked to the
court room, and found Judge Davis
presiding, This is the first time we
had ever seen hVrti. Hi < countenance
is mild in the extreme, and we should
take him to be of a very kind an i
amiable temperment. The Bar wis
well represented. We’saw from Athens
Messrs. Cobb, Speer, Erwin, McCa’Iy
and Col. Thurmond. We think that
was all from this place. Mr. Reid
and Mr. Whit Johnson represented the
Oglethorpe bar, and she may well he
proud of them. There are but few, if
any, better lawyers. Wc have heard
Mr. Johnson explain questions of law-
before the Grand Jury, anil have never
known him to err in . his opinions.
Judge Rico, Col. Eites, Win. L.
Marler and Dunlap, of Gainesville
Glenn and Ilutc’.linr of Lawrcncoville.
and J. D. Turnbull, of Homer.
Oar old friend, Col. Nash, of Madi
son, was also there,. looking about as
well as he did eight years since. The
Col. is one of tho veterans of the
Georgia bar, he has been a successful
lawyer for many years, and is univer
sally popular.
We met with Mr. Redwine, editor
of the Gainesville Eagle. He was at
tending the court in a legal capacity
We were introduced to him personally
We had been acquainted with him
through his interesting paper for some
time. He is a pleasant gentleman,
and we were gratified a£ making his
acquaintance. There were several
lawyers there from other counties
whose acquaintance we did not form.
The Solicitor looks like one who can
“ do the State somq service,” ancl we
would take him to be a terror to evil
doers. During the session of the Court
bar. We did not hear him examined,
but understand, he answered evety
question knowingly and understaad-
ingly. Tho population of Jackson
county, are, as a general thing, fine
looking, well-to-do people, free and
open in their manners, and makes a
stranger feel perfectly easy among
them. There appears to be a genuine
hospitality and generosity among them
Many of them are very intelligent and
We were highly pleased
way do so When the entire repertoire
was of a character to enlist the most
unaffected praise. The animals are
really a fine stud ; they are sleek, and
do the parts assigned to them with a
seeming intelligent comprehension of
them. The horsemanship has scarcely
been excelled, if ever equalled in this
city. The feats of equipoise, vaulting,
double somersaulting on horseback;
the extraordinoiy leaping—it looked
like flying over seventeen animals, aid
indeed the whole of tho varied and
novel exhibition enables us to accord
to the entertainment, of a kind to suit
the most susceptible lady, the charac
teristics of first class shows.
The animals are very rare and woti*
derfully interesting. There are speci
mens, splendid ones, of the natural
kingdom that are worth a visit them
selves. We must concede to old
“John” the most complete and exten
sive amphitheatric combination that
has been in these parts for many a
/ear, before or since the war. The
parade through the principal Street'!
just before the matinee, was of a
georgeous kind, the splendid wagons,
chariots, &c., attracting general atten
tion.
’’So much pleased was the old hero of
the hippodrome with the greeting he
received last evening, that he requested
one of his attaches to return his t-bnnlr^
from the ring to the vast audience,
which accept d them with heavy ap
plause.”
Deufree Hall.—Yesterday after
noon, in company with Dr. Hunnicut
and a few others, we visited Deupree
Hall. The preparations are going on
finely to its completion for a Theatre.
The drop curtain is equal, if not supe
rior, to any thing of the kind we ever
seen. It represents the Lake of Como.
The artist who executed the work de
serves great credit for his taste, as well
a3 for the workmanship. We have
forgotten his name. He boarded at
the same hotel with us a short time
since. We were much pleased with
him and his interesting lady, and felt
there was a void in the bouse after
thev left.
England & Orr.—We see this
firm constantly have the greatest variety
of dry goods, for both ladiesf and gen
tlemen’s wear. It is quite a treat to
step into their store. The only objec
tion we have to going there is we see
so many beautiful goods that we are
too apt to break the commandment
which says, “ thou shalt not covet.”
We would advise our country friend
before going to the circus to call at
their store, then they will find any and
everything they can possibly want.

When we left Jefferson the
was trying a young man, whoapj
to be about eighteen years of age, for
murder. Several negroes were
tried for felonies, two of them fo
on the persons of white ladies,
to be hoped they will suffer the ox
penalty of the law.
JOHN ROBINSON’SCIRl US.
this evening and to-night. We see
large numbers on our streets to-day,
who have come to see it, and we assure
them they will not be disappointed in
their expectations when they look to
see a tremendous show. Old John Rob
inson is well known in this country,
and is most faborably known, too, as
being the originator and owner ;of by
far the best circus in the United States.
He has greatly enlarged his show, and
otherwise improved it, until he has
now made it equal to ten ordinary
ones. Let there be a large turn-out,
and give old John a warm reception.
We copy the following article from
the Charleston Courier, in reference to
this Circus when exhibiting in that city,
which speaks as follows i
“For a long time before the doors
were open-the streets leading to the
Green werte alive with people, male
and female, white and colored, wend
ing their way, in the most anxious
mood, to secure eligible seats. When
the inlets to the exhibition were open
ed, a stream of humanity poured in
that time, every seat on the rear and
front benches, and nearly every avail
able foot of standing room were occu
pied. The attendance of ladies, who
were out in large numbers, was a fea
ture of the gathering.
“ After the immense audience had
been regaled for some time with choice
music from a talented corps of per
formers, the initial act began, and,
from that to the last one presented,
everything was of the highest order of
the art and science of the arena, the
mountings of the actors and animals
being fully in keeping. Specific per
formances might be select’d because of
