rlettor, Mr.. }. 7. Gilmore, and now an r,
ears IN enlarged form-eight pages, cut f,
na pasted-under the name of S,sgu,-Boarl II
na Fa,m Journal. The new heading is f,
cry attractive and artistic, and the general D,
ppearance OF the paper greatly improved. b,
MS change has been made in pursuance r;
scheme that Brother Gilmore has cher y,

ent for the New Orleans Exposition, in
1ding among its numerous features
neurological representations, gladito-
u sports and Roman pastimes." If I'm
, Dan had made such an announcement {
ars ago, nobody would have doubted his ]
llity to carry out the project, but we fear :
isn't the man he was before he made j
famous leap from the ring to the nos i
