1t Was 81 GOOD show.
fNashville Aracrican.}


Did you go to the circus? Well, if you
did not you missed it, rs ii was 81 good
all round show. Mr. Ren:z doesn't pro-
fess to conduct the greatest show on
earth, but just The same it is good old
fashioned affair The riding, tumhling
and trapeze work was far above the aver
age, while the menagcrie is not TO be
sneezed at And there is one thing about
Rentz Co.'S show which the biggest in
stitutous might well emulate. All the
attaches arc courteous obliging and gen
tlemanly and seem to realize it is their
duty to look after the comfort of the au-
dience. Mr.. Rcntz is.a polished gentle
man, and will retain no one in his employ
who does not aim to come up to the stand
ard of excellence. There is an entire
absence of the element sharpers, so that
the smallest child is safe under Rcntz
Co.'S tents. A good sized audience was
present in the afternoon, and in the even
ing the seats were all occupied. We can
consciontiously Recommend Mr.. RENT
to the brethren of the Press, and assure
them that they will meet Il gentleman
from the ground up.

NEW Yo.K, March 2.-In the stock market
today the passage OF the postal subsidy bill de-
veloped a marked activity in Pacific Mail for a

notwithstanding the weakness in Burlington
failed to lower, but toward noon developed
strength with Pacific, and the whole list ad-
vanced slight fractions. In the afternoon the
bears attacked the market and the early gains
were wiped out, and the market closed steady,
