The Big CIRCUS Day of An the Ysnr.

AS old Trough and Ready" would
have put it, "all the world and all the
rest of mankind" hearabouts are pic
torially and editorially advised of the
HILARIOUS fact that Sells Brothers Big
Show of the World will visit this city
on June 18th preceded by a grand free
morning street parade of unusual
liberality and attractiveness. The
various interesting and amusing exhibit.
tons massed under 10 huge tents need
not be recommended, but it is pertinent
to say that one and all will be forth
coming, as Sells Brothers are honest
ard impartial managers, who wisely re.
gard one mans money as good as
another's, and everywhere, and at every
performance, return precisely the same
abundant and satisfactory equivalent
for the price Of admission. This is not
the custom with ono or more shows OF
boosted metropolitan reputation, which
give much better exhibitions in New
York City and Philadelphia than else
where; and having thus scored favor
able and misleading notices, foist upon
what they arc pleased to torn us
"ruralites" cut.down performance, in
fcrior performers and cheap, tawdry
displays. 1t, furthermore, is fact that
the really great artists which only appear
with them for few days in the cities
named arc always engaged by Sells
Brothers. for the entire season, making
their big circus salary list far the most
expensive of any on tho road. We
need not comment upon the radical
difference in policy and presentation.
1t shows for itself and should be con-
demned in the one case aud encouraged
in the other by all who dospise cheat
and believe in square deal. Sells
Brothers wish it distinctly and finally
understood that their mammoth show
is not divided, never was and never will
be, but is always and everywhere fully
fairly and squarely presented in its vast
entirety. Sells Brothers arc truly the
pioneer showmen of America. A glimpse
at the magnificent street parade vii
convince anyone that it is the larges
show on earth. Twenty five cents ad
mits to all combined shows, including
seat without extra charge. Specia
holiday excursions will be run on al
lines Of travel at reduced rates.

PARADING WHEELMEN.

A Very Pretty Street spectacle Furnished
by Members of the Wilmington Bicycle
Club and Unattached Riders Tuesday
Evspi1g.
A very pretty street parade was given
Tuesday evening by the Wilmington
Bicycle Club, which was participated in
by about 200 riders, most of whom are
members of the club. Nearly all the
improved streets about the city were
traversed and a route about five miles
in length was gone over. The parade
formed at the Washington bridge and
moved shortly after 8 O'Clock. All
along the line the pretty decorations OF
the wheels and the unique appearance
Of some of the riders furnished pleasure
and amusement for the thousands OF
friends of the club who gathered along
the streets and in porches and windows
to witness the spectacle.
The spectators were highly enter
tanned, judging from the interest they
manifested. Some of the business place:
and residences along the route Were
profusely illuminated and decorated
and at some places fireworks and rec
fire were put off. The wheelmen wert
| extremely gratitied with their reception
along the route and were pleased t
think that they could entertain thei
friends at so little expense.
| The ornanentations on some of tn
wheels were unique. Nearly every on
was illuminated with Japanese lanterns
and some had lights suspended from
frames high in the air. One Of tn
riders had sails on his wheel and as
sumed The appearance Of gliding alon
In a trim little yacht. The riders il
some instances were as nuch of an at
traction as the bicycles One felloN
WIS rugged up us mounted policeman
some looked like Cinnamon, others mad
up to initiate indians and other ludi
crous persouages. The club colors-
orange and black--ceuld be seen in a
parts of the procession. There wer
flags and streamers and the wheels wer
trimmed in materials of these color
In fact, 1t was great night for Tn
orange and black,
1t is the purpose of the club to maxi
these parades semi-annual events, an
in all probability tho next one will |
held in the fall, when invitations wi
be extended to several out.of.town clui
to participate.
