ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, LIVERPOOL.
Lessees—THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS COMPANY (Li)Imo),
Licensed pursuant to Act of Parliament, 6.h and ith Victoria.

GALA DAYS.—MONDAYS, TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS,
THURSDAYS, AND FRIDAYS.
THIS DAY (TUESDAY), THE 22ND INSTANT.
The new Proprietors of this highly-popular and fashionable
resort are gratified in being able to announce to the patrons
and frequenters of the Gardens that extensive alterations,
regardless of expense, have already been effected during the
short period of their lessee-ship, which they trust will be
appreciated, ns'an earnest of the spirit and enterprise which
they purpose shall characterise their management throughout
every department.
The early extension of the Gardens forming a prominent
. feature of their plans, they submit the present Programme of
ImproVements and additions already effected, which they trust
will considerably enhance the usual attractions of this well-
favoured spot.
AN ENTIRELY NEW ORCHESTRA,
of colossal .dimensions and elaborate decorations, has been
erected from the design of one of our most eminent local
architects, corresponding with which, in splendour and unity
of style, will be found a Refreshment-room, and Arbours of
graceful simplicity will be interspersed throughout the grounds,
brilliantly illuminated with gas, to add to the convenience and
comfort of visitors.
The magnitude of the orchestra has necessarily led to the
augmentation of the Band, which will comprise chosen per-
formers of acknowledged talent and reputation, who will
instrumentalise the. most favoured operatic and other popular
music, including the newest compositions of the day.
AN ENTIRELY NEW AND EXTENSIVE
PLATFORM,

constructed upon improved principles, replace the former
one, which was found to be wholly inadequate to the require-
ments of the numerous frequenters of the Gardens ; and the
Present Stage tor Dancing will leave nothing to be desired by
the votaries of Terpsichore, as no Gardens in the United King-
dom can boast of a Platform more admirably constructed or
More efficiently illuminated.

THE PICTORIAL SUBJECT FOR THIS SEASON
WILL RIPRESCsiT

THE DESTRUCTION OF. POMPEII ;
Introducing. Views of the Ancient City, including the great
Volcanic Mountain : the varied Scenery of Classic Italy. which
the pencil of Cannaletti and the pen of Byron have immor-
talised, afford the most desirable objects for Colossal al Fresco
Pictures. The subject, and the consummate talent bestowed
upon it by Mr. CRAWFORD and his numerous assistants, will
render this Painting the highest class production which has
ever been exhibited in these Gardens.

The FIREWORK DISPLAY will exhibit unusual novelty
and brilliancy ; the overwhelming of Pompeii by the devas-
tating Mountain forming an admirable subject for effect and
splendour.

ADDITIONAL PYROTECHNIC EFFECTS will also 1:e
produced, comprising the new FLOATING TEMPLE OF
FIRE on the Lake, and concluding with the Representation Gf
the PATRON SAINT OF ENGLAND, THE RENOWNED
ST. GEORGE.
