What a Great Newspaper. Says Of the
Coming Great Show.

Unquestionably, by far the greatest Me-
nagerie and Circus that has ever visited this
place will reach here by its special trains, on
Monday, Sept. Both, and that is the Great
European Seven Elephant Railroad Expo
sition OF the Sells Bros. Its proportion are
simply enormous, and its educational and
amusement resources almost beyond compu-
tation. tits also as superior in refnementand
elegance OF presentation as it is overshadow-
ing in vastness, and comes recommended
a nd endorsed In the highest and most I'M
qualified terms by the entire press wherever
it has pitched its mammoth tents. Such in
disputable authority as the Louisville Cour-
ier.Jomnal, which in its issue of July 2lst
emphatically praises it as follows:
ssThis world is but a fieeting show-like-
wise the circus. Sells Seven Elephant Or
eanization has come and gone. Its tents
have been struck. The music has ceased.
The 'sring' that but yesterday was the
scene Of so much that entertained and as
tonished the eager spectator is desOlate and
bare. The side-show organ has ground its
last refrain and the weary ticket-taker Is at
rest-until the next halt. The entire Sag
gregation' with its immense retinue of peo-
Pile, its chariots, its canvass and all tine in
finite army of animal phenomena, is now
slowed away in the train of thirty-two cars,
awaiting convoy in Indiana. 1t was big
show, really. There were many things that
entitle it to pre-eminence. There was the
leaping of Rhinehart, who wears beauti-
full gold badge as the champion. There was
the extraordinary collection of animals Of
the rarest sort, and Cobb's wonderful per-
forming dogs land it may be said that Cobb
is the only dog trainer who has succeeded
in developing the humorous in the canine
nature.) But 10 cite all the good points Of
the show would be to give what Hamlet
calls "a whole history"
During this, its first visit to Louisville,
'sSells' Great European Seven Elephant
Railroad Show as il is called, created
decidedly favorable impression. 1t was
largely patronized by ladies and gentlemen,
the very elite as well as the sinew of the
city, and the unanimous verdict was that it
was one of the best equipped and most COM
plete and perfect circuses and menageries
ever seen in Louisville. The discipline was
perfect, the order was excellent, the per-
formances were very superior, and the an
imals rare and very fine. The seating ar
engagements were the best and most COM
Portable we have ever seen.

NEW YORK TIMES, one of the ablest, il
not the ablest paper published in the United
States, is offered at the very low price Of
Der till the LIST of January, 1879. The Times

we know of no source where suunder and
more healthy views can be obtained, than in
the columns of the Weekly Times. See the
