The great European Circus, which Ia said to be
The hes, now travelling. The Jacksonville SIN
'in,i speaks Of this circus as follows -. The
Great European Circus, which has excite. the
iondest aniiepations OF the juvenile portion Of
our community for days past. has come aud gone.
The day unusually tiuc one. and hum
drcds of the rural population came nocking Ia
from early morn until high noon. The process
sion 'hroug., the streets was really grand, much
superior to anything Of the kind heretofore wit
messed In this city. During the afternoon the |
large pavilion was filled to its utmost capacity,
and the performance seemed 10 give universal I
satisfaction. In fact the unanimous verdict uf I
those present SEEMED TO hc that II was . thc best [
circus they ever saw" The entire equipment /
pavilion, wagons, costumes &r.,--arc bran new, /
aud The performers all selected from the high
est rank Of The profession in the United States |
aud Europe. A prominent feature Of this circus /
and that others would do we'll 10 initiate, is /
that they perform every Thing 10 the letter that
they advertise, omi,ting nothing, The crowd al
the evening performance was even larger thhn In
tile afternoon, and the company must have gone
away with their cschcquer pretty well lined.
onr OF the most coumeniablc features about this
circus i that there Is not n rough connected
with IT, and every employee. from the hostlcrs up,
seemed 10 lie temperate ard civil. -
