GREAT LONDON SHow.-This superb estab-
lishment will perform here Friday snd Satur-
day of next week, twice each day. The Boston
press without exception pronounce it the best
entertainment of the kind ever in that CITY,
The Boston Daily Advertiser says:
To say that the show is good, as circuses go,
is hardly sufficient praise, for nothing is badly
done, many acts are surprisingly well per-
formed and-the management will thank us
Tor giving this Misunderstanding that is
promised is omitted. Ellington, exhibited by
X. III. Dockrill, is the most finely trained horse
that has ever been exhibited here, and Mr..
Dockrills riding and vaulting is remarkable, if
not wonderful. Mile. Dockrill is also grace
ful and daring rider. Five performing ele-
phants are brought into the ring and exhibit
their intelligence in many ways, and actually
form the pyramid as represented on the bills
There are three or four clowns, but chief
among them is Johnny Patterson, an Irish
man, who makes no effort to conceal his natiy-
lty, and his drollery is rich and delicious. The
concluding feature of the performance is the
introduction of den of Bengal tigers, which
is entered by. Professor Still, who seems to
have perfect control of the savage beasts, but
the exhibition IS nerve-shaking to sensitive
people. The gymnasts, tumblers, slack-wire
and trapeze performers, and other speciality
artists, are all deserving Of praise for tbe!l
proficiency. In connection with the equestrian
acts act one thing should be noted, and that is
mat all the riding Is upon the bare backs OF
the horses; not pad is seen during the enter.
talnment The meEagerie is unusually large
and interesting, and the animals are all in fine
condition. The band is remarkably fine one
ana us music forms very agreeable part Of
the entertainment. The show is well managed

SHORE LINE RAILROAD The Bangor and
Calais Shore Line Company held their annua
meeting Wednesday, June g. John G. Talbot,
president of the company, in the chair. Nearly
all of the towns, Ellsworth to Pembroke,
inclusive, that are stockholders we're present
The following were chosen for board of
directors John G. Talbot, S. N. Campbell,
Robert Gerry, Monroe Young, Nelson S. Allan.
j. ii. Crandon, L, A. Emery, j. n Whitman
Il. FL. Greeley. Subsequently John c. Talbot
was elected President, and Monroe Young
Vice President. l. Sargent is Secretary and
Treasurer.
A vote was passed to have bills of expense
already incurred, which amount to a little over
$4,000, assessed and paid by the (towns) stock
holders. 1t was also assenteG to that if Els
worth chose to build the road between that city
and Bucksport under the charter, without
calling on towns east of Ellsworth, she could
do SO.
Colonel Green, who is building the Grand
Southern road, between st. Stephen and st.
John, was present: He submitted an offer, to
be backed by satisfactory bonds, to build and
equip the entire line, Bucksport to Calais, for
$4,000 per mile, the work to be done satisfae-
factorily to Engineer auckland or any other
responsible, competent engineer.
A vote was passed directing that no attempt
be made by the directors to contract for build
ing the road until $4,000 per mile bona tide cash
subscription is made for the entire distance,
BuCksport to Calais. The vote as passed con-
tanned some other restrictions.
1t seems probable that Ellsworth, Surry.
Orland and Bucksport will make an effort at
once to have the road built from Ellsworth to
Bucksport this year.
