What the Great Southern Editor Says
OF Sell BrotherS' Showa.

OF Sell Brothers Shows. :
We are not accustomed to look to the
editoEs-in-chief of great newspapers, or
upon the grave and weighty political
page which they exclusively edit, for
amusement criticism and certainly the
widest aspirations of the boldest mana
ger never would have betrayed him into
seeking for much recognition from
such q source in the Louisville Courier
Journal, and, least Of all, from the in
fluential pen of its great editor. But
when it comes to q really good circus,
Hon. Henry Watterson, like the rest of
US, is very human, and we like him
the better and respect him the more
that he is so, and is not ashamed to &C
knowledge it in q hearty and manly
way, while, moreover, generous enough
to extend the encouragement of his
influential personal recognition to genu-
inc melt in the arena, a. elsewhere. He
visited Sells Brothers show at Louis
Vile, last fall. when it was not near SO
grand, novel and elegant as now, and
here is, word for word, what he was
editOrially delighted into saying of it,
after his city editor had devoted a COL
umn 70 Praising it in another page of
the paper:
"The attendance at the two afternoon
and two night exhibitions of Sells
Brothers shows was 80 remarkable IS
to be entitled TO a special mention. Not
less than from five to eight thousand
persons were present at each perform
ance. The perfectness of the arrange
ments and the admirable order pre-
served were also quite as remarkable as
the attendance. The show 10 Q first
class one, and, although the managers
make large promises, they abundantly
fulfill them. The entertainments gave
thorough satisfaction. The circus starts
tomorrow on Its tour through Kentucky
and Tennessee, and the readers of the
Courier-Journal in the places it visits
will have an opportunity Of seeing the
best and most complete show in the
world"
This great amusement enterprise,
which, since the above was written, has
been consolidated with fiYe other exhi-
billions. owned by the Sells Brothers,
and to which has been added . number
OF rare and costly attractions imported
during the winter of 1872, will exhibit
at Emporia, Saturday, July 10.

Which makes the number twenty-one.
