TWO CIRCUSES THREATENING
JACKSON.

Coup's Great Circus, Menagerie etc,
is billed for the 9Th proximo; and from
II circular from General Agent Charles
STOW, we are assured that the "Sells
Brothers. Millionaire Confederation OF
StupendOuS Railroad Shows" will be
here during the circus season, though
the date is not yet fixed. Below is Il
description of this entertainment as it
paraded and exhibited in Louisville
last week.
From the Courier Journal Louisvi Ny,
THE CIRCUS.
Yesterday Sells Bros great consoli-
dated shows began their engagement
at Sixth and York. The announce
ment of 50 many combined wonders
and cXcellences of course fired the
youthful, themidde aged and vcner-
able heart. The advertisement told
of almost inconceivable feats. The
result was that the enormous tent was
circus presented the livelest kind of Il
|
in the audience. The negro and the
white man met upon a level and part
ed on svuare. Bevies Of pretty girls
were present and fell easily into the
spirit of the scene. About sund0Wn
Sixth street was alive with excited
people, and long ears filled with men
women and children, hurried rapidly
out to the great show. There is some-
thing exhilerating about circus
something that makes the man boy
again - something that makes the
boy proud that he is boy. The long
procession that trailed its glittering
beauty through the city yesterday
conuinced everybody that the show
was a good one. The audience last
night numbered ten thousand. The
advertisement of the circus put forth
big claims, and claims that We're fully
justified. The show stands for itself
1T is the best beyond question, on the
road. II is doubtful whether Louis
vile ever saw such circus before.
Living shades of Bob Stickney and
Jim Melville! How James Robinson
does ride! Stickncy himself must
acknowledge that Robinson is his
odanrb lin, tho honnr Of Helm" his
