| Anticipation has now not long to wait
for this largest among the travelling ex-
hibitions viii spread its myriad yards Of
canvass at Kenosha, on Friday, May 60
The management proves its pledges
and sustains lis promises by editorial
guarantees, whose weight and value none
can fail to appreciate and respect. The
great journals of the Union testify with
the most unanimous accord to its integ-
rity in strictly keeping every advertised
promise, and even during last season,
when the consolidation was only part
tally effected, the press was loud in its
praises, as being the most attractive and
creditable exhibition on the road. Ex-
hibiting both in Milwaukee and Chicago
for week, the press of those cities had
ample time to pass on its merits, and we
append literal and convincing extracts
from their notices
From the Chicago Daily Times
The circus-everybody is at the cir
Gus. Sells Brothers keep their pledges
with their patrons. They advertise
nothing unfairly phenomenon Of
professional integrity. Their tents
are "ohject lessons" for the young in
natural history. They have many gen.
uine curiosities and their artists" are
as astonishing as genius ever is when
animated by sawdust.
From the Milloaukee Journal
The Sells Brothers who have had the
good fortune to be the first on the Big
Lot this season, are to be congratulated
in presenting a show that corresponds
with the announcements. They don't
beguile the peoele with pretentious adj
vertisements of wonders that have never
materialized, and they really produce
what they claim. This is almost too
much to say of a circus, and it will hard
ly be credited, but a candid examination
of this menagerie and ring brings the
truth-loving reporter to the confession
that sobriety of statement is mighty and
is prevailing over all of Barnum's adj
jectives. The immense canvases that
parasoled the circus grounds yesterday
afternoon and evening covered count
less multitude of happy faces, all bright
with enthusiasm over the sights and per-
formances.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune

The two hippopotami, which |
are far more docile than the corn-fed pig
which pursues his devious ways from the |
Stock Yards to the immolation on the |
altar of commerce, are magnificent |
specimens, whether in the ring, into
which they are introduced by their keep
or, or in their tank, in which they dis
port with as much negligence as in the
muddy waters of the Nile. The two

The delicate giraffe, with a
Yard of throat subject to diphtheria, and
With decidedly weak lungs, was also an
object of attention on the part of many
visitors, who admired his graceful poise
