THE DAY APPROACHES.
Meaning the Appointed Date for the
Exhibition Of Sells Brothers
Monster Fihy.oago and FOurRing
Railroad Shows,

Anticipation has now not long to
wait, for this largest among the travel
ing exhibitions will spread its myriad
yards Of canvas nc Fort Worth on
Tuesday, October 81.
The management proves its pledges
and sustains Its promises by editorial
guarantees, whose weight and value
none can fail TO appreciate and re-
spect. The great journals OF the
Union testify with the most unani-
nous accord TO Its integrity In strictly
keeping every advertised promise, aud
even during last season, when the con-
solldation was only partially effected,
the press was loud In It's praises, ~ be-
Ing the most attractive and creditable
exhibition on the road. Exhibiting
both In 1T. Louis aud Chicago for a
week, the press OF those clties had ann
pie time TO pass on It's merits, and we
append literal and convincing extracts
from their notices:
Chicago Daily Times
The circus--everybody is at the cir
Gus, Sells Brothers keep their pledges
with their patrons. They advertise
nothing unfairly--a phenomenon OF
professional" integrity. Their tents
are "ohject lessonsn for the young in
natural history. They have many
genuine ourlositles, and their artists
are az astonishing as genius ever is
when animated by sawdust.
Chicago Evening Journal.
The Sells Brothers, who have had
the good fortune 10 be first on the lake
front this season, are to be congratu-
lated in presenting show that cor
responds with the announcements.
They don't beguile the people with
pretentious advertisements of wonders
that have never materialized, and they
really produc, what they claim.
This Is almost too much to
say Of circus, and IL will
hardly be credited, but candid eS-
animation Of this menRgerie and ring
brings the truth-lovlng reporter TO the
confession that sobrlety of statement In
mighty and Is prevailing over all OF
BarRum's adjectives. The immense
canvAses that pSrasoled the Lake
Front ground yesterday afternoon and
evening covered countless multitude
of happy faces, all bright with enthu-
siasm over the sights and perform
ances.
Chicago Daily Tribune.
The geological collection Is one OF
rare interest. The two hippopotami,
which are far more docile than the
corn-fed pig which pursues his devious
way from the stocl-yards to the lmmo-
latlon ON the altar of commerce, are
magnificent specimens, whether In
the ring, into which they are intro
duced by their keeper, or In their tank,
In which they disport with IA much
negligence as In the muddy waters of
the Nile The two woolly ele-
plants, which are multum in parvo
as far IA names and species are
concerned, proved to be the
Irresistible "masheTsn of the collec-
ton. They were by all odds the pets
Of the women and children. The delft
cate giraffe, with IA yard of throat sub
jet to diphtheria, and with decidedly
weak lungs, was also an object of at
tentlon on the part OF many visitors,
who admired his graceful poise and
agility Of movement. The three
horned rhinoceros, with his Shake
pearean brow, pig eyes and forbidding
jaws, also proved an attraction, and
the vast majority OF those who watch
cd him muhohing his fodder wondered
If he were really as fierce an animal as
Is usually represented on the thrilling
