JoHN RoBfxsoNs MAnmorH SHOW
Our readers, far and near, will be elal
to learn TINT this renowned trayeling
exposition will shortly be here and
give two exhibitions, afternoon and
evening, The extent Of the show may
be inferred from the fact that it re-
quires a special train Of lily cars, built
expressly for the purpose, to convey it
from place to place. A glance at the
descriptive bills will satisfy the reader
of the magnitude Of the exhibition.
There is large and admirably APP
pointed Circus, the largest collection of
animals in the country, Museum,
Aquarium, Aviary, Gallery Of art, and,
in short, half q. dozen average shows
rolled into one. Among the phenome-
nal acts seen in the arena is a woman
shot from cannon; an individual who
swallows swords, bayonets and mus
kets, and veritable Hercules who
pulls against an elephant. The name
OF sold John Robinson has become.a
household word with the amusement
seeking people, for they know that
which he promises 10 sure to come. He
is the most legitimate and reliable as
well as the oldest Snowman living. 4 \

we learn that the colt IL. D. Prescott"
from this parish, entered by Professor
Mcdaniel, against "Gold Mine, entered
by Chas. Wells, won the mile race at

was for five hundred dollars, but We
understand that Professor Mcdaniel
had made outside bets to the amount Of
one Thousand dollars. We congratulate
the Professor, who is one of the, wide

has done more to promote tie interest
of the turf in st. Landry than any man

The weather has been horrible since
last Sunday, but cleared up on Thursday
cold and bright. The norther which
has reached Texas coasts has probably
reached us and we may look for more
settled weather. All signs fail however
this season. When it ought to be cold
it has been as warm as summer, and
for the first time we have real wintry
feeling in the air. The cotton which
was in the field of course has suffered
from the continuous rains.

THE SEVENTH COMET OF THE YEAR.
Director Swift, Of the Warner Astrono

THE SEVENTH COMET OF THE YEAR.
Director Swift, Of the Warner Astrono
mical Observatory Rochester, N. Y, at
ii o'clock P. NJ. of the 10th inst, dis
covered a faint, round, tailless comet in
the constellation Cassiopeia, which has
Right Ascension of 1 hour so minutes
and Defamation north Of II degrees
with motion slowly westward. This
is the seventh comet which has been
discovered since the first Of May last,
four of which meeting the conditions OF
the fund, have received the Warner
Prize of 5000, Prof. Swift procuring the
first and last award. Inasmuch as the
comet of 1919 is expected in the quarter
in which this one appeared, Prof. Swift
is not sure at present that the stranger
may not be the familiar comet which
was discovered by Pons. In 1878 Di-
rector Swift, at Denver, claimed to
have discovered an intra Mercurlal
planet. In May, 1882 he will visit
Egypt, under the muniticent provision
of Mr.. H. H. Warner, to observe the
Total Eclipse, at which time he hopes
to verify his intra Mercurial planet dis
covery, Mr.. H. H. Warmers generous
patronage of science has given astrono-
mical study wonderful impulse during
the past twelve months, and the coun-
try is to be congratulated on having SC
broad minded a man so Substantially
devoted to the upbuilding Of her in
tellectual as we'll as physical interests
