No otlner amusement event ever cre.atel isueh general interest tand causeo suieh wide-spread commeat, as did the trip Do Australila oí Sells Brotliens' Big Show oí the World, begira last October, and trimmphantly eompleted by a aíe return to San Francisco, ir June, after a six month's tour of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, and a Most hazardo'us and costly journey af twenty thousand miles. As thO great and íamous exhibition, or rather, milliíanaire alliance oí them, is boofeed for Ann Arbor on Thursday September 22d. it Is pertinent to say that the high tndoirsement -vith which H me preceded by the American press mere than etlitorially aecepted by our trans-Patific contemporaries; which are able papers, not easy to please and impossible to unduly int'lueiu'e. We learn, for instance, froim an extended criticism in the Melbourne Daily Argus tbat the wonderful BÜow "must.be pronounced a brilliant success, for ft may be safely ííaid tlnat no mich panorama of wonders lva erer befo re been unfolded to a Jíelbourne audienee." That "all ie eo goöd it would be hard to piek out any particular atem as being the nvost worthy of praise," and that "it would take too mucli space to ment ion in detail all the wonderful performances on horseback and foot that were giren." That the "races were splendidly contested and furni.shed bri'lllant spectacles." The Daily Standard admifingly rein a rked: "We have had a few bis things in Melbourne, and have rather flattered ourselves upon them, and have grown knowing enough to 'wink our other eye' wlien diisoounttng the tall tales of our American cousins. "We thought ive knew what a circus was, too, until Sells Brothers strayed our way. But they have ehattered our ld beliets. Twenty shows in one, and Oacto show a, circus in itself, is too mucfa of a revelation." And mfcre tluan the wealth of ente-rtalnmient thue lionized abroad will bO present-ed here, as a big, and for ■tilw first time seeu, exhibit of rarest and niost beautiful Australian living eurios-ities has been added. A one-sMed view- The profi'.e.
