Hugh Issue, new general order every week
or two, and for the coming week the order is,
that special bargains are to be given in dress
goods, of which the stock is by far the largest
and most complete ever opened in the city-a
stock worth at least 100000, of well assorted
goods, and must be sold before the season is too
far advanced. These goods are open to daily in
spection and sale, and having been bought dur
ing remarkable decline in goods at the east are
selling al bargains that would have been impos
sible a month ago. The stock having been
bought under such favorable circumstances, il is
not believed that the prices at which it is being
sold can be met by any other house in the city.
Mr.. Gillen is also offering
Bargains in Lace Curtains;
Bargains in Lama Lace Shav's;
Bargains in Parasos and Hoop Skirts--good
hoop skirts for 80 cents.
In groceries, Gillcn is selling cheaper than the
dealers VINO make them speciality; as he is also
doing in Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps and
similar articles, which he keeps more to accom-
modate his customers than to make money on.
He also pays CASH for butter and eggs.

Soullers Great lIippOdrome, Bucklcy's Mons
ter Show and Wombold's Mcnageric, together
with Bunnell's Museum and sundry other sedc
performances, attracted big crowd at the fair
grounds on Tuesday, and although all was not
exhibited that was down in the bills, the half
day was fully occupied add we believe the crowd
: generally well satisfied with the show. The
main attraction, Of course, was the racing, an
on this part of the show there was no discount
The races in Roman chariots, drawn by two or
four horses each and driven by ladies', were all
well contested and exciting in the extreme, cs-
peclaliy that in which four horses were hitChcd
abreast 10 each chariot, and where, on heavy
track, the two came in abreast and the Lalf mile
was made in less than l.: 10, There is no qucs-
ton as 10 the blood of the horses. Of which we
had never before seem so large and fire q collcc.

The Indians, though not as numerous rs the
bills had lead one TO expect, were ene looking
fellows and certainly genuine, whether Iroquois
or Choctaws and performed well enough in their
way. The man that walked mile in seven min
uteS was also very much beyond what one sees
in any common show, and he did it honestly; and
tiC hldH tuil Nclt up ooO Icel III INC alr hanging
to a rope suspended from huge balloon, going
the while through thrilling trapc2c pcrfor-
nance also did all that was promised for him.
The prizes that were promised were honestly
distributed. The boy that won the sack race got
his Elgin watch; the pretticst baby got 4 beau.
tiful baby carriage; and the prcticst Girl on the
ground that dared to show herself got the $40
bonnet.
We saw littl" of Bunne.rs Museum, but be
licyc all the curiosities he advertised were there
including the Internal regions, which, however,
few seemed anxious to visit no. knowing how
soon, yJ4 know, y.
There is no doubt that the feature Of this show
which, instead of the stale, old, worn out hum
drum Of the circus, gives lively series of races
and athletic sports in the open air, in vast am.
phithcatre instead of the little cooped up circus
tent, is destined to become immensely popular,
and will yet lay the circus to ths land. Yankee
Robinson, in this business has struck new vein,
which, though yet in its beginnings, is capable of
vast achievements. He has also shown his adj
dress in the choice Of first.cass men to manage
his show. His marshal was faithful and prompt;
Mr.. Banks, as Superintendent, was model in
his way, and Mr.. Field, his press agent, is thor
Ough gentleman, whom dozens of our citizens
will ever gratefully remember for many courtc-
sizes. In such hands, and with such management,
Yankee Robinson can laugh at the absurd oppo-
sition of Forcpaugh.

THEATRlcAL.-Thc show business has been
slightly overdonc in Ottawa during the last
month or two, which is the only way we have to
account for the moderate houses that greeted
the Wallach combination, that occupied the
Opera House on Monday and Tuesday evenings,
for it was really about the best company We had
ever had in Ottawa. Mr.. c. B. Bishop, as Il com.
edian, is every inch the equal of Billy Burton in
his best days, while the support was excellent
throughout Mr.. Giddens is young comedian
who will yet shine as leading star, and Mr..
Nate Salisbury, one Of our former townsmen, Mr.
Collins and McHalc will pass as irot-cass actors
on any sta-" and the same is true of the ladies
Miss Ma? Wallack, Miss Long, Miss Stone and
Miss Cowel. While the houses were such as to
enable Mr.. Wallack to get away with a trifc
more than his expenses, we hope he has not left
with tie impression that Ottawa, under more
favorable circums tances cannot do vastly better,
especially should he ever favor US with another
visit with such a very superior and meritorious
company.
