COMMENCEMENT OF THE SEASON.
ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS,
GRAND warrsuN FETES.
ON WHIT-MONDAY, TUETHURSDAY.SDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND
Strong as have been the claims of this favoured place of public
resort at the beginning of each season, the Proprietor feels justified
in asserting, that never before did it offer a tithe of the attractions
it now present,. The Gardens have been completely renovated,
Statues and Fountana-bitroduced, new and extensive Promenades
forioed, and the moat lavish expenditure in every department,
will evince the Proprietor's anxiety to insure a continuance of public
Patronage.
TIM NEW GRAND PICTORIAL MODEL OF
LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIMEI
fainted by Vanson and Telbin,
Is the most gigantiC,;chievement ever yet produced, and flsr grandeur
of composition, fideliV of design, and beauty of execution, it far
exceeds any previous titpduction. It accurately represents ancient
London—Old St. Pa.ul's--Old London Bridge—Baynard's Castle, and
all the principal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may
with truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo-
dern times.
THE MENAGERIE. ALWAYS UNRIVALLED,
HAS RECEIVED MANY VALUABLE ADDITIONS.
To defy all competition, the Proprietor has engaged the celebrated
AMERICAN DWARF TJM THUMB!
now exhibiting at tne Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly.
The PROMENADE CONCERTS—the splendid Band of Fifty
Performers, conducted by Mr. Godfrey—will perform a selection of
the newest and most popular music.
The far-famed HIGHLAND DANCERS AND PIPERS are
also engaged, and will go through two gets of their National Dances,
which procured for them the distinguished approbation of her
Majesty and Prince Albert at Taymouth Castle
And at Dusk will take place the most astounding exhibition ever
attempted, viz., a Representation of
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.
Mr. Southby (to whom in justice belongs the appellation of " Fire
Kings') has exhausted the resources of his art, to give effect to this
exhihitio.,. Lon-lon Bridge, Old St. Paul's Cathedral, and other
Buildings will appear devoured by the devastating element, and
present a heap of blackened ruins, in accordance with the best
oelineations taken at the period, and the coup d'ceil will give a vivid
representation of a Great City destroyed by fire.
Doors ope sat Twelve. Admission, One Shilling.
