"a very worthy and deserving young lady
of Baltimore. The BdhtmOrton says: The

Col. VIM. G.. Coup dropped in to chat
with US on Friday, as the cavalcade was
filing past: He is an atfable, well-manner-
ed, quick witted man, with a wonderful
faculty for catching names and faces. In
PRODUCED to a dozen persons on the street,
be will next day know each and every one
of them. For many years, he was =. I. Bar
NUNS partner and right hand man. Later
he built the New York Aquarium and ex-
pected to give up the circus business, to
which his wife is greatly opposed. But the
Bronchos, the Devil Fish, and the Baby
Sea Lion drew such crowds that he was in
duced to put them on the road. Col. Coup
gave us some interesting details of the bust
ness, which requires more care and fore
f thought than the handling of an army, as
a few accidents. a few mistakes, a few
weeks of poor patronage, will sink a for
tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars
Coup's daily pay roll runs above 81 900 and
only the large places pay more than that.
