O,Brien,s Four shows.

We wish to again call attention to
John O,Rrien's four shows consolidated,
which exhibits in Rutland on Saturday,
June 9Th. That this is no ordinary at
traction, we feel positive, and in thus
strongly recommending it to the public,
we act with no hesitancy in the matter,
feeling assured that they are all as repre-
sented. Their procession reaches nearly
a mile, headed by Prof. Welker's fine
silver cornet band, is fine sight. Al
most countless numbers of dens, wagons,
vans, chariots, etc, etc, succeed each
other in such rapid succession that one
is fairly dazzled, and imagine for the
moment transportation to the fairy
realms has been accomplished. Where
ever they have been the public have cor
daily welcomed them, and testified by
their presence, and by their immense
numbers, to the respect in which such
enterprise and progressiyeness in amuse-
ment is held 1t should also be under
stood that the four shows advertised,
viz. the menagerie, museum, caravan
and circus, are each first-class and pre-
cisely what is advertised To these -four
shows one price of admission suffices to
carry you all over the grounds at your
leisure. Two performances are given
daily in the circus department, to which
you can attend or not, as you may
choose, your ticket still giving you the
privileges of the menagerie, museum
and caravan They exhibit in Rutland
on Saturday, June 8th. See the process
sion, sure.

PHILADELPHIA, June D.
The New York delegation has con-
ferred upon Hon. Martin l. Townsend
the honor of the Craftsmanship of the
delegation, which carries with it the
duty of speaking for it on the floor of
the Convention.
Ex-Gov. Gregory Smith is the chair
man of the Vermont delegation. But
the delegates have not yet designated
the member for the National Executive
Committee.
The vote of the New York delegation
is regarded as almost decisive of the re-
suit Maine votes 10 to 4 in favor of
Colfax. Vermont and Rhode Island are
both unanimous for Colfax. Illinois
and Ohio will cast fifty votes for Viii
son. 1t is manifestly choice between
these two men.
The chances of Henry Wilson, of Mas
sachusetts, for the Vice Presidential
nomination seem to be improving. 1t is
now conceded that the Pennsylvania
delegation will vote solid for him, and
his nomination is claimed as certain by
his friends. The friends of Colfax still
press his name vigorously, though they
show no irritation at the increasing
probability of his defeat.

JUNE TRAINING. -Although yesterday
was the day set apart for the annual
''June Training" it bore no resemblance
to that time honored day, in any of its
observances. The three military COM
panies, having headquarters in Rutland
being Cos. GA, /" "B" and ''C'' of the
Third Regiment Vermont Volunteer
Militia, were ordered out at 7.30 a. M,
for drill and parade, and made their APP
pearance soon thereafter with depleted
ranks and solitary fife and drum. Be
ing holiday soldiers, their drill and
parade" at least the open air part OF 1t,
was brief and the sprinkling, which
foretold rain, drove them indoors,
from which they emerged for a moment
or two in the afternoon, between show
ers, after which they were discharged
and returned to their respective homes
or such sheltered hooks and corners as
could be found about the street.
