been greeted kindly. In some places it has be.
come permanent feature, with drills by the
brigade ut least once fortnight. The Young

giving Ottawa an idea OF this new rage, and with
the assistance of Capt. Blanchard now have their
brigade ready for an entertainment. They call
it the "Boston Drill" from its birthplace, we
believe. The brigade consists Of q number OF

What the Great southern Editor Says of sells

What the Great Southern Editor Says of sells
Brothers Shows.
We are not accustomed to look to the editors
in-chief Of great newspapers. or upon the grave
and weighty political page which they exclusive
IL edit, for amusement criticisms, and certainly
the widest aspirations OF the boldest manager
never would have betrayed him into seeking for
such recognition from such source in the Louis
vile Courier.Jouy7,a' and, least Of all, from the
Influential pen Of its great editor. But when Il
comes TO a really good circus, Hon. Henry Wat.
terson, like the rest OF u.s. Is very human, and we
like him the better and respect him the more that
he is so, and not ashamed TO acknowledge it IN
q hearty and manly way while, moreover, gen
erous enough TO extend the encouragement OF
! his influential personal recognition to genuine
merit in the arena, Us elsewhere. He visited
Sells Brothers shows at Louisville, last fall,
when 1t was not near so grand, novel and ele-
CANT as now, and here is, word for word, what he
his city editor had devoted column to praising
it in another page of the paper:
"The attendance at the two afternoon and two
night exhibitions OF Sells Brothers shows was 50
remarkable as to be entitled toaspecial mention.
Not less than from five TO eight thousand persons
were present at each performance. The perfect
ness OF the arrangements and the admirable or
der preserved were also quite as remarkable as
the attendance. The show is a trsLclass one,
and, although the managers make large promis-
es, they abundantly fulfill them. The entertain
ments gave thorough satisfaction. The circus
starts 10. morrow on its tour through Kentucky
and Tennessee, and the readers Of the Courier
Journal in the places it visits will have an oppor
tunlty OF seeing the best and most compile show
in the world"
This great amusement enterprise, which, since
the above was written, has been consolidated
with five other exhibitions, owned by the Sells
Brothers, and to which has been added num-
