pronounced the performance one OF the
best iiia, has ever visited Anderson. The
horseback riding Of Miss Rivers, Messrs
Hollis and Sells won hearty applause
Prof White and his trained dogs did some
'ery clever tricks. They are the best train
ID dogs We have ever seen. Herr Drayton
handled cannon balls like they were mar.
,les. The Donaldson Brothers, contortion-
sts, seemed as if they did not have bone
n their bodies, and the Stirk family, four
IN number, performed some remarkable
Fcats on bycicles. Throughout the circus
performance was first class. The selection
Of animals was extensive and good. The |

tention, though there we're other rare spec
linens of the animal kingdom. There was
excellont order throughout the day, and
passed off pleasantly.
