Two Circuses and the Minstreis-
Several Brilliant Entertainments.
sTAUNTON, VA, August 26.-(Special)
This has been a gala week i'm Staunton,
and what with a minstrel show, followed
by two circuses. there has been an album
dance of hilarity and the eyer-consequent
headaches. You can find hundreds who
vehemently declare they are done with
circuscs but these declarations last no
longer than the frst-of-January resOlu-
lions, and il Is one Of the happy charac-
teristics of the human mind that the dis
agreeable Is forgotten. and the pleasure
bic is better remembered so that the
anti-circus resolutions count for little,
and the next circus will catch 'em as
usual.
All the watering places in this section
are crowded-its been many year since
they were so full Of guests Many OF
these visitors come down 10 spend the
day in Stanton which adds much TO the
throngs crowdiug this city.
