AL, PEARCE. ,Our run from Pueblo, Colo., Kan., was the longest mage so far this season apd as there was plenty of time to make it, the fact was taken advantage of. and we did mot arrive at the Sunday town till after 1 p. m. However, as the town itself was very small and exceedingly dujl and uninteresting, mo ope Was sorry, and to add to the unpleasantmess, the day wax far from being pleasant, being cold and dreary. Monday we gave but ome, show, as our next run was rather long and there was nothing in the town to warrant remaining over for a night show, though busi to Garden City, mess was very satisfactory at the one performance we gave there.--Some of our people seemed to be infatuated with the town, for they failed to take advantage of the show —_ their own fare on the regular trains. ‘Tuesday, Angust 29, Great very early, unloaded on the lot, sleepers located fianhdy, a pleasdnt feature.
