One Who has done our circnsian re-
porter, historian and bard the honor to
read and study Ii. ,",scietious efforts
at duly heralding the progress hither-
ward OF the Great Entsrtainment-U Under
Canvas with which our small but appre-
ciative and critical city was favored yes
tertlay, was somewhat premature with
hislwell-meant remark, to the effect that
with the arrival of Mr.. Queens artists
and animals orr occupations gone
meaning thereby that now We might rest
from our severe and eXhausting efforts
to do that Monster Exhibition full and
exact justice. The prematurity of that
plea5ant observation lies in the fact that
it Is still left to rs to attempt an ade-
nIate description Of the Circus AMI
Ienagerie as they We're presented to
his public at the Matinee yesterday
afternoon and the grand performance
last night. And this leads II, to remark
that we are at loss for an explanation
of the use of the term matinee for an
afternoon performance. Htt,H is the
French for morning. and the doubl" is
added to indicate something that takes
place III that early part Of the day. So.
then. why matinee, in its usually accept
81 sense: This question is relevant
here and nov, for now and here are
the footprints in the sands Of time Of
many yeoman and buXom lass who
came in, with JOY and anticipation in
their hearts from the valleys round
about, even from Mottvile and Sheridan
and from Empire and the valleys Of
Wash and Tahoe. to partake Of the
treat provided for them by Mr.. Queen:
and these should know If il be improper
to put matinee to an uuiustitiahe
employment. This remark indicates,
We trust, our Solicitudt Ter the using ii
pure language and the cause of correct
education. In the meantime il behooves
Us to mention the subordinate fact that
the afternoon performance was very
largely attended aud gave profound sa-
tisfactiOn tn a very great multitude If

to clever but innotOrious artists whose

say. That the procession was a success;
the music was all that the most exacting
