A SPLENDID SHOW.
Mains Circus Has Neither a Dull
Feature Nor an Inferior Act, Says
the Newport News Herald,

The Walter l.. Main New Fashion
Plate Show, which will exhibit in
Henderson next Monday. Oct. 2sth,
is said to be the best exhibition of
the kind that ever left winter quar-
tiers. The old circus and mensgerie
which was disposed of at auction al
ways drew immense crowds, but-Mr
Mains new departure has so far
broken all records, being greeted by
throngs that test the capacity Of the
immense canvas at every perform
ance. The most f1attering encomiums
are rendered by the press and public
wherever the show has exhibited.
The Newport News Herald of the
goth, says this:
Walter l.. Mains New Fashion Plate
Shows gave two performances here yes
terday, with the usual parade at noon
The parade in itself was probably the
best ever seen here and it contained many
novel features.
AT both the afternoon and evening per
formaDces the big tent was packed with
spectators. At night the crowd was
estimated at 5000 There was not a
dull feature nor an inferior act from be-
ginning to end, and never was a more
satisfied crowd gathered together in
Newport News. The show was not cut,
as is usually done at the night perform
ance, and the concert which wound up
the performance was frst-class, some
thing unusual with q circus.
The aerial acts, the high wire-walkine,
the riding were all good, and Prof Dock
rel's splendid trained horses drew much
applause. The ladder act. the hurdle
jumping OF Madame DOckrell and the
riding of the veterans of the Sixth
United States Cavalry were star fea-
lures.
The clowns were funny and kept the
tent in an uprOar and there were lots of
them-no end to clowns. Exciting hip
podrome races wound up the perform
ance.
A marked feature of the circus was the
smoOthness with which the various acts
on the program were pulled off, the neat
uniforms of the employees and the gener-
ally wel[kept appearance of the entire
outfit. Mr.. Main has the best show on
the road-bar none, and if he comes to
Newport News next season he is sure of a
royal welcome.

Meeting of Synod in Charlotte.

Charlotte Observer.
The Observer welcomes within it's
gates this morning the Synod of the
Presby terian Church Of North Caro-
lima. This is a distinguished and
able body of men, being almost as
large in numbers as General
Assembly of the entire Presbyterian
church in the South ordinarily is.
The Synod comes to a city where the
Presbyterian faith has always had a
strong following and exercised great
influence for good. We trust that
the delegates. ere their stay has end
ed, will find that the lines have fallen
to them in pleasant places. The
Observer is confident that it speaks
for the city at large in extending a
most cordial greeting to the visitors
and in saying that we are glad it was
foreordained and predestinated that
the Synod should hold it's session of
1901 in Charlotte.
