The STEREoscOME.-The rush to the Thea.
ter to see the great London Stereoscome ex-
hibition continues unabated. Last evening.
notwithstanding the Circus was in town, the
Theater was packed FULL and large number
were compelled to leave, being unable to find
standing room. Our readers will bear in mind
that the Stereoscome will be exhibited this eve.
ming for the last time in Nevada, and if there
are any in the community who have not vet
seen these splendid paintings, they should by
all means improve this opportunity. As an ad.
ditional inducement, large number of nre.
sents, many of them valuable, will be given out
10 the holders Of the lucky numbers, among the
audience. Morrison is the only man who can

fail to be interesting to a California audience.

Hughes, but an additional item, not stated in
the original specifications, brings up the cost to
within ten dollars of the bid of Kent & Mac
kay.
ADvERrIsING.-Thes slim attendance at the
"Great World Show last evening demon
strates the absurdity of attempting to run an

When the proprietor of this circus visits Neva-
da again he will doubtless pay those whose bus
