was decided success, both as regards
the number of delegates and visitors
present, as we'll as the spirit that pre-
vailed.
We had hoped to be furnished by the
secretaries on official account Of the
proceedings, but nothing of that kind
has reached us up to the time of going
to press.

Nature In all the m Ost majestic illustrations OF
her living lessons, directly to your doors, and
added thereto far greater and purer circus
than you were ever decoyed into visiting at

and circus way, and the only way In which a
really great sho OF the kind can be successfully
moved and managed. IT pn rposely marches so

that reputation Is, Is sufficiently indicated by
the enthusiastic voice OF the press and the pub
lie all along the line, and by the patronage and
hearty approval OF the leaders OF thought and
morality. Remember the date OF exhibition,

John u. Keen (the d. stan ds for
Deininger) is as big man for his size
aud as old for his age as any man we
know. Moreover he is sober, indus |
trious, kind, social, and one of the best
farmers that ever followed the plow.
His speciality is rye, and his crop this
year was so heavy chat he was obliged
to occupy the adjoining field with the
shocks. Strange as it may seem we
know that il is a mackerel fact.
