FIRST CIRCUS THIS SEASON.
Advent of Maybury, Pullman s. Hamilton
Great Show,

Advent of Maybury, Pullman & Hamilton's
Great Show.
The circus season in Knoxville will be
opened on Wednesday. August End, by the
advent of Maybury, Pullman and Hamil-
toms Grand United Mastadon Shows. A
portion of the advance advertising
brigade, No. 1, of this monster
show, consisting of eight men, arrived in
the city Thursday night and are at Schu-
bert's European Hotel. They are in charge
of Claude Williams, general agent, and E.
H. Davis, special agent. The windows
about town are profusely and attractively
illustrated with their Autograph work, and
they are arranging to put their paper on the
boards here and throughout the country,
thoroughly.
As to the character of the show,
read the following from the
Louisville Commercial, April s, '82: The
Maybury, Pullman and Hamilton Circus
opened in Louisville yesterday under adj
verse circumstances. The afternoon house
was rather small on account of the hard
rain, but at night the great canvass was
crowded to OVERLOOKING. The principal at
traction of the consolidation is unquestion-
ably the circus.
The menagerie is good in every detail.
The performance in the arena, however, is
certainly of a very superior character. 1t
is compact and neat throughout. Not a
single specially is unattractive. The tum-
! bling of the Karls and Baldwin and the
Zeigler Brothers is by all odds the best and
newest that has been seen here in a circus
ring. Miss Salie Marks is a charming lit
tie equestrienne and wonderfully skillful,
although " sterday, owing to the fact that her
horse was inexperienced, she failed to do
herself justice. Miss Pauline Lee is an
equestrienne of note and merit. She was
loudly applauded last night, as was also
Mons. W. FL. German, whose hurdle race is
fairly thrilling. A speciality worthy of ex
ira mention is the dog circus presented by
Prof Neil Smiths troupe of talented Ca
Mines Prof Smith has the best party o.
trained dogs on the road. There are many
other attractions in the circus performance
and each of them is meritoricus. Tht
tumbling and leaping was also of more thai
ordinary worth. Maybury, Pullman !
Hamilton cannot be surpassed.

fered very little inconvenience.

Wells yesterday morning, and
found him quite sick. He has been placed
under strick quarantine, and is closely
guarded, and DIR. Campbell will give the
matter all the attention necessary. Precau
tionary measures will be taken to prevent
