a degree of grace and refinement
above the ordinary circus.
Ihe rain to-day kept the country
people from coming to the city, and
after the management of the great
show had completed the unloading
from the cars, the rain was 50 con-
tinuous and the ground so wet that
it was found not only imp.acticable
but impossible to raise the commod-
1ous tents. The ground. was too
soggy for the poles and stakes to
hold, and, consequently, it was de-
cIded, with much regret by Mr.. Sau-
telle-nots SO much on account of his
financial loss, which is heavy, but
because he really has the best show
