Roanoke has tlio appearance of a
deserted city on Sunday afternoon
The people either take .-trulls in the
environ.- or an after dinner siesta,and
it is not until tin? shades of evening
come, that the streets are at all ani
j in rted. The most orthodox Ohris
Itians could not wish the day more
strictly observed here than it at pre?
ent is. The churches have noj seat?
ing capacity tolaccommodate^the
j throngs that attend, and a number of
I the audience have to stand every
Sunday. It would be money well in?
vested if s?uic of the houses of wor?
ship were enlarged.
There are any number of charming
wallas in the suburbs, ? >111 none is
mom attractive than that which runs
along til- river. This is a favorite
with a greal many people. The path?
way curve- ai:<I circles over the hills
: hat line the river and the glimpses,
through the green branches, of the
raining water beneath, are very
pleasant to the eye. Then, too. there
are any number of rustic sears where
one can rest and catch a little sleep it
so inelined? I he wild flowers are at
their best now, and the way is made
fragrant with the breath of the
honeysuckle and the beauty of the
dogwood bloom.
The reservoir and Mill mountain are
also favorite resorts. But it take-a
bold and active man to get up the
rugged and precipitous sides of the
big hill which looks over Roanoke.
The easiest,though the longest climb,
is upon the other side when? a road
rcies up. On thi- side there is noth?
ing of the kind, and one has to make
the ascent with the help of a stall.
The view from the summit is grand,
line can seethe Peaks of Otter quite
plainly and the country all about fo ?
ndles around. It i- well worrh the
exertion of a climb, and if there was
only a place where a little refresh
Dient might be had the pleasure of
the trip would be much more.
There is as much enthusiasm about
baseball in Roanoke as will be found
in any elty in the land, and on Sun?
day it finds expression by various
games on the commons about the
city. There is a good deal of home
talent here and the town has turned
our not n few good players who have
made their mark in the profession.
Brodie i- an excellent pitcher and
wiil, it is to be hoped, be seen here
during the season; Sanders, now
with the Philadelphias, is an old
Roanoke boy, and Goetz, who made
a sensation in Baltimore last season,
once live l here. There are a number
of other- making names for th eui
SClveS in the sporting world. The
management of the club here are
finding no difficulty in getting plenty
of good material.

by Lit:!" May Brown, the young and

give their grand light teance, which
for Btraugeness and originality, will
far exceed anything of the kind ever
before offered a Roanoke audience
scientific investigation.
lie is today the most wonderful
phenomenon of the age, am1 wherever
lie appears he is sure to attract large
auaiences. He has recently been in
Richmond am! Norfolk, where he
drew very large and select audiences.
Mr. Henry W. Grady, of the Atlanta
('"listit ution, was a warm personal
friend of Mr. Brown, and entertained
him at his house, as well as to write of
his marvelous demonstrations in the
most enthusiastic manner during Mr.
Brown's st -y in Atlanta.
One among the many experiments
to be presented at the opera house to?
morrow night will be that of having
a wire extended from the stage tonne
of the hotels, and the audience will
-elect some prominent gentleman who
will go the hotel, and while he hold
one end of the wire to his forehead
and thinks of any number or sen?
tence, Mr. Brown, while holding the
other end of the wire on the stage at
tl e opera house, will read the gentle?
man's mind and write what, he may
be thinking of upon a blackboard
in full view of the audience. The
programme will be of more than two
hours duration, and will, no doubt,
be regarded by ail who witness it as
the most weird and startling, as well
as refined and intellectual, ever wit?
nessed in this city.

300 BALLET OAXCERS.
A Spectacle Requiring: Over * Thons?
and Performers.
Without one single exception.every
newspaper in the great city of Lon?
don extravagantly indorsed Barnum
& Bailey's show and actually de?
clared that never, in the history of
the world, was such a tremendous
and beautiful entertainment seen be?
fore. It will all be here just as it as?
tonished and delighted Europe, on
Tuesday, 20th, and the big, free street
parade be shown in the morning.
Here is what the London Advertiser
says of the show in its editorial col?
umns:
"The Prince of Wales and his fam?
ily and few, if- any, of thousands of
visitors who have already been to see
this gigantic entertainment" have
come away without being impreseed
with the magnitude of Barnum <fc
Bailey's enterprise, and. that it is
really what is claimed for it?the
greatest show to be found in the civ?
ilized world. The hour and a half
spent in walking round the exterior
of the arena is well spent and is well
worth the money charged for the en?
tire entertainment. Here is to be
found what one may term a conglom?
eration of all the best and costliest
features to be found in the world.
They constitute a fascinating study
and include- the menageries, horse
fair, elephant paviUon, nippodrome,
Circus Maadmus, lNero, or the De?
struction of Rome,' a grand spectacle
which alone requires 1,200 people
and many other amgMar departures
fr?m the usual typte.
