Cu..Us.-We notice by posters about the
street corners and an advertisement in the
RepuJiican that circus proposes to give an
exhibition in Ottawa some day next week.
The concern seems to be wishy- washy one
aiorsc affair. They offered us about one
half o; our lowest cash rates for advertising
and as we were not inclined to work for
nothing, we couldn't trade. We notice, also
their posters are the old cast-otf bills of the
Railroad Circus" that passed through OF
ia two or three years ago Doubtless
their jokes and performances will prove as
stale and second hand as their posters. No
respectable circus ever does business on any
such picayune principle, and folks that don t
want to be imposed upon had better save
their quarters.
