John A. Kennedy of this city, who is match
ed to row George Lee of New York at Green
wood Lake, next Friday for $500 SIDE ar
rived there last Wednesday morning, accom-
panied by his friend and adviser, M F. Davis.
They brought with them two boats, both of
wood, and left New York without delay for
the scene of the first great race of the season.
Kennedy is in good condition and hopeful, not
withstanding the heavy odds against him in
betting and Lees renown for valor in English
waters. The boating men in New York, with
few exceptions, look upon the race as a
walk-over for Lee, and declare that Kennedy IS
hacker must have lost his head. A few there
are who think Kennedy has never been seen
at his best, and that he will make the pace hot
for the newly-fedged professional of Newark.

Barnum is turning away thousands from his
great show every night in Boston for want of
room. That has been his experience in nearly
every town visited since he left New York.
Those who attend in the afternoon find the
show so vastly superior to any exhibited, their
representations induce their friends to 90 in
such throngs at night as to overflow the tents,
and as he says he never sells more tickets than
he has good seats, many persons are unable to
get in at all. This disappointment can only be
avoided by all going to the afternoon exhibit
ton as can conveniently do So At that time
the performers and animals are fresh and pre-
cisely the same exhibitions are given as those
in the evening.
Last year complaint was made here that
more tickets were sold for reserved seats than
there were seats. If true Mr. Barnum must
have been ignorant of the fact, and will see
that it does not occur this year.
