Ep1ToR STAR: see by THE STAR of yester-
day that circus company has been driven out
OF Blondsville, Kentucky, for insulting citizens,
and other reprehensble acts. 1 would ask by
whose permission is 1T that branch or offshoot
OF this same circus is allowed to sIuat down on
9Th street, within a stones throw of PENINSULA
mia avenue, to the annoyance of a respectable
neighborhood and occasioning the blocking up
OF the entire street, now a great thOroughf;lre
since the completion OF the 9Th street bridge?
1t was quite bad enough to be subjected to the
VISITATION OF show nuisances of this low charac-
yer before the street was opened, but now, when
city, II is simply intolerable. Is Gen Michlcr
or mayor Emery responsible for this injury to
the respectable people in this quarter? And I
soould be glad to know in the same connection
whose fault it Is that the same circus company
Is allowed to erect a hideous structure OF boards
ior their bills along the most conspicuous por-
convenience Of the public, and especially those
have business at the market?
