WHEATLEY
YESfERDAY
ONE OF BUSTLE ANO MANY LAUGHA
BLE EVENTS.
The Crowd In the Cltj Immense, Good Nil*
fared aud Impecunious—The Police Head

Business Brisk*
AN8LEY.
Wholesaler* and Retailer* of hlgh-cl*«*
Dry Good* at popular price*.
On yesterday the crowd on the streets
was not os large as is usually seen on the
date of a circus performance, but every
one seemed in a good humor and some,
Indeed, bad absorbed of the fluid of fun
to such an extent that they lost their
good humor and became belligerent, and
that point the police took a hand and
succeeded in effectually curbing the
pugnacious demonstrations.
A number of complaints were lodged
at the police headquarters to the etfect
that the complainants had been robbed
by “fakirs” at the grounds of Iientz A
,t Co.’s circus, the amounts running all
the way from ten to one hundred dol
lars. Investigation, however, proved
that In every case those who had had
money taken from them deserved their
loss through their gullability.
In the wake of every large show there
follows a crowd of sharpers, for the
misdeeds of whom the show cannot be
held responsible.
To a great mary ignorant people the
occasion of a circus is one of supreme
moment, to whom the clown is a being
of excruciating fun, and the bespangled
equestriennes beings from another and
enchanted world, while the trapeze per
formers. and] acrobatic feats fill them
with breathless awe. These people
would lose tlieii very heads if nature had
not furnished for that anatomical mem
ber a secure fastening, and a slight les
son, such as was tadght them yesterday
when thoy undertook to boat the profes
sional crook.at Ids own game, will prove
moro beneficial than otherwise.
One young man bewailed the fact that
ho had been offered his choice between
two boxes, at the price of $05, one of
which held $75 cash and the other a gold
watch valued at $100. lie paid and
chose the box containing the watch.
The value of the timepieco was probably
intrinsically 25 cents, though as a sal
utary lesson it is invaluable to any one
who has so little gumptioa as to be taken
in by *o threadbare a trick.
Yet, as has been before said Rentz and
Company’s show is entirely apart from
these crooks and cannot possibly pre
vent their following.
Director's Meeting.

The Circus.
Messrs. Rentz A Co.’s show yesterday,
while possibly not In the aggregate as
large us Barnum’s or Forepaugh’s was
one ol.' much merit.
In the first place the two young obll-
drenwho gave a trapeze performance
whloh was well worthy ol old and tried
professionals, were in themselves and
their exhibition a good return for the
low price ol admission. The utter and
oomplete fearlessness which they, little
ten year old boy and girl tots, displayed
when suspended in mid air was mar
vellous when considering their Infancy.
The tumbling, horse and chariot
racing was also above the average, and
the usual concert embraces many pleas
Ing novelties.
The audience vu of a very good char
acter, many of the best people of the
elty In attendance and all going away
well pleased.

A Reply.
Last week The Times-Recobdkr pub
lished a notice of the appointment of a
committee relative to the proposed re
union of tbe 12th Georgia Regiment, and
yesterday received the following letter:
Cuthbebt, Ga., November 7.—Editor
Tdou-Rrcordeb—I see In your weekly
Issue of November 6th that Messrs. Da
venport, Felder, and Ansley hare been
appointed as a committee to assist in ef
fecting a re-unlon of the old 12th Geor
gia Regiment, and as I had the honor to
be a drummer hoy for that corps, please
state that I will surely be there with a
drum to march in front, os I did from
1861 to 1865.

An Example Worthy of Emulation.
The Chicago National Ilotel Reporter
publishes the following, in connection
with the Piney Woods Hotel of Tliomas-
ville:
“Mr. F. A. Budlong, principal clerk of
the celebrated Piney Woods notel at
Tbomasville, Ga., arrived in Chicago
Monday evening and has secured apart
ments at the Auditorium Hotel, where
he will remain throughout the month of
November. Mr. Budlong was here last
year and made numerous engagements
with Chicagoans, Thomasville aud tbe
Piney Woods Hotel being specially pop
ular with the people of this city. This
year the hotel will he opened Wednes
day, December 2."
The Piney Woods Hotel in Thomas
ville is a good house aud is proably run
in a modern hotel manner, but in point of
style, location and equipments it cannot
compare with our new Hotel Windsor,
and although the management of the
Piney Woods may be all that could he
desired, there can exist no doubt but
that the extensive and judicious adver
tising in which it indulges has had more
to do with its growth than any other in
fluence which can be named, and it is
tbe same way with the town in which it
Is loca^d. While the tone of the cli
mate thereabouts is undoubtedly healthy
there are many places in Georgia which
aro just as healthy, and which can show
probably even a lower record of
mortality. Amerlcus for instance, and
let the Ilotel Windsor tako a leaf out of
the Piney Woods Hotel book,and thero is
little question but that the Northern and
Western travel Southward will, in some
measure, mako of this a stopping place.
The following is from the Thomasville
Times-Entorprise and tells its own talo:
Mr. It, W. Giadlng of the Monon
Route has just returned from a trip
through Florida. Mr. Giadlng says that
Northern people aro going into Florida
with a rush. Fully twice as many aro
coming South now as at the same time
during any previous season. The hotel
keepers and everybody in Florida are
wearing smiling faces over tile splendid
prospects for tbe biggest season in the
history of the state.”

rooms and look at the circus procession.
They came, and after partaking of some
light confections given by the club a
morning german was held, with Mr. Ice

unusual the affair was immensely enjoy
ed by the participants.

performances of the circus yesterday.

the show was worth seeing or not.
There has been some adverse comment
concerning the increase in the price of
parquet seats for “Poor Jonathan” to
night, but when it is considered that the
Conried Opera Company has played in
Atlanta, Chattanooga, and all the large
towns at even more, and that tbe mana
gers of the opera bouse are bound by a
contract to play tbe troupe at prices
ranging from $1.50 down, It will be seen
that $1.25 la not exhorbltant, especially
as the opera as rendered by Conried Is
one of peculiar excellence.
