Gentrys' famous show did not stop
here yesterday. After a most liberal
advertisement Of the date, and the max

will make good all their contracts and
see that none suffer loss, as they have
the reputation Of being honorable men.
But it will be long time before the dis
appointed ones will forgot being left in
