NONE CAN DISPUTE IT! NONE CAN
DENY IT!!
The Very Oldest! The Very Biggest! !!
The Very Best!!!

Old John Robinsons show is fiffy-nine
years of agei nearly sixty. Can any one
beat it? All know it is the largest and
best. 1t never has been bankrupt, never
changed its name or title, always has been
the John Robinson Big Show, and to-day
it is the same old John Robinson, with Ten
Big Brand New Shows Combined, and it
has attained to such immensity of size and
grandeur that it requires a million yards
of canvass to accommodate the niyriads OF
anxious sightseers, who daily gather in vast
throngs, from hundreds of miles around to
witness the monster scenes in the greatest
of all menageries, museums, caravans,
avairies, and only Monster Giant Three
Ring Circus and amphitheatrical arenas the
world ever knew.

SELECT KNIGHTS.
A Uniform DriII-RoynI Entertain
ment ut MI. John Gravcstock's.

The uniform drill of the lodge of Select
Knights, Ancient Order of United Workmen,
of this city, held on the grounds of Mr..
John Grayestock, on Friday evening of
last week, deserves a more extended notice
than we were permitted to give it in our
last issue.
As early as 6 so the knights, some ae-
companied by their wives and families, be-
gan to assemble, and an hour was passed
in strolling among the fragrant flowers,
witnessing the play of the sparkling foun-
tain, and scaling the adjacent heights, from
which grand view OF this city Is to be
obtained.
About 8 O'clock the knights repaired to a
room prepared for that purpose,a donned
their handsome uniforms. Drill Master
A. Walter soon appeared, arranged the
squad in line, and gave the members a
comprehensive lecture of instruction, as
well rs putting them through the rudi-
mentary exercises of drill, following the
Upton tactics. Mr.. Walter evinced thor
ough knowledge of military evolutions, and
will soon have corps of most excellently
drilled men. ra-..f -
H4- r THE SUPPER. r.
Mrs. Gravestock and daughters had pre-
pared repast for the knights which would
have done honor to a regal occasion. The
dining hall was beautifully hung with
flowers the windows held vases and pots
of choice eXotics, filling the room with the
ravishing fragrance of n fairy bower. The
table was laid for twenty, and was taste
fully arranged. The central figure was a
huge pot of growing geraniums, bordered
with number of smaller ones, containing
various varieties of color, the beautiful
blossoms mingling in labyrinth of charm
ing loveliness, while from the branches
hung tempting clusters of delicious straw
berries. AT either end of the table were
large vases, filed with the rarest blooms
from Mr.. Gravestock's incompatible con-
servatory Beside these sat huge straw
berry cakes, fairly dripping temptation
from their richly fringed edges. Frosted
cakes, of snowy whiteness, pies, oranges,
apples and strawberries, dd Hbitum, took up
the remainder of the spacious board, the
whole presenting picture of epicurean
taste seldom witnessed. AT 9:15 the
knights filed into this room, and for an
hour discussed the prodigal hospitality OF
host and hostess. Speeches We're made,
expressing the thanks of the knights to
Mr.. and Mrs. Gravestock, for this exhibit
tion of loyalty to, and esteem of, the an
cient order; regret that the Coal Creek
delegation was not larger; and hopes for
the recurrence of such festive scenes.

The occasion was one long to be remem-
bered with pleasure.
The uniforms of the knights are very
beautiful and richly ornamented with gold
and silver trappings.
The lodge of select knights numbers
about forty members and is receiving ac-
cessions at every meeting.
The knights expect to visit Denver on
the occasion of the Grand Army encamp-
ment, and appear in the parade.
