After the nig Show. The Proof of the Pudding U hi tht Eating. As our readers are no doubt awn, the Sails Brothers' Enormous Kailrond Shows, now all united into one vast mmuement enterprise, the largest show in the world, will exhibit, without fail, at Uloomington, on Thursday, August 27. "While it is true that all the praise we might bestow upon the big show would be superfluous, still wc cannot refrain from saying that it is by all odds the best show in creation, and supplementing the remark with a notice clipped from the Kansas CUy Journal of recent date. Hera it is : SELL' CIRCUS. In the equestrian ring every act was of the best. The fearless barebtick riding of Don Jerrenimo Bell was admirod and applauded; no more, however, than the dashing and intrepid lady burcback rider, M'lle Cordona, who carried the audience by storm. Her baloor jumping act certainly stamps her as ft leader nnd ut the head as a female bareback rider. M ile Marelta, on the aerial rings, displayed both nerve and skill, an:! tho applause she received was well merited. The brother acts were well executed, and the bicyling by the Stirk family was well worth the price of admission. The dog circus was the best over exhibited, and tho tumbling was far above the ordina ry. Tho only unsatisfactory feature to what might otherwise have boon laudable exhibition was that of giving all tho best acts in the ring to tho left of the dressing room entrance. There being 14,800 persons present, 7,000 of them were at the wrong end all the time and a large number of the audience manifested their dissatisfaction by retiring before the conclusion of the performance. It is to bo hoped that Messrs. Sells will, to some extent, at least, remedy this, the only defect of tho show. Upon tho whole the Sell Brothers may well congratulate themselves upon presenting to the publie one of tbf very best circuses now on the road, and the public may bo assured that they will never be defrauded of a csnt or ever regret having patronized this meritorious entertainment.
