Ringling Bros , nhow , Monday ,
iroved a daawing card for Broken
Ijow. When they were hero in ' 92
they attracted the laruost crowd
that had over congregated in the
city. It was not thought they
would bo able to draw as largo a
crowd ibis time , as it is a very
busy 'imo with thu fanners. But
in that we were mistaken , Tha
crowd was not only as largo but
larger than the ono HOVOII years ago.
The managers informed UK that in
the afternoon there wore eleven
thousand peopln in the lorgo pavil
ion. When wo asked if they did
not have more than that in ' 92 they
answered that the pavilion was not
as largo , by ono third , in ' 92 as il is
now , an 1 the crowd Monday could
not have been crowded into it. It
was a big show and every ono who
attended the afternoon exhibition
wore well ploaiod. It was much
larger than seven years ago. It
took twenty more oars to carry
t IIP in , there being quite an increase
in the number animals , The man
agers of the show were highly
pleased with the reception given
them hero by Ouster county people ,
and assured us that it would not bo
as long before they come again as
it ban been since tboy wcro last
here.

in the M E. Church , was a very
successful affair. They bad a class
of about sixty members which they
taught the rudiments of music and
vocal culture. The term closed
Saturday with a concert. This was
quite a SUCCOHS , and gave Messrs
Bridges an opportunity to demon ,
strate to the public tbo ellicionoy of
their work. Tbo class sung a num
ber of uoncg with excellent precis
ion. Fully two thirds of the class
bad never studied music before ,
but had learned in tbo fifteen les
sons given to read music raa < iily ,
and answered promptly about two
hundred questions on the funda
mental principles of music. In
addition to tl e exercises of the
class Mr. and Mrs , Bridges rendered -
de-rod some very line vocal and in
strumental pieces using the < juitar
and mandolin. Mimdamos Haddon
and llubbard sang a duett and Mrs.
Uaddon rendered a solo. The en
tertainment was first class m every
respect.
