lemonade peddlers appeared at daylight

leaving the circus tent this afternoon, a
number of ladies were discussing the
merits of the riders, when one of them,
carried away by her admiration, re-
marked: "Oh, it was nice-I wish could
stand on my head that way" SAM
son." the tall elephant of Coles Show is
an immense fellow as to hight, but poor,
and not nearly so large as has been seen
in Jackson in past'years. Old Hannibal"
brought here by Van Amburgh, before
the war, was great deal larger, heavier
elephant than Coles THE young men
had great deal of fun to-day pitching
rings at the heads of canes, near the show
ground. A number of canes were stick

could stand some ten feet away and pitch
5 rings, and every time he pitched ring
around cane he got the cane. Some got
canes, but great many more got expert
ence. -. There was considerable drunk
