tion.aud ire unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-
bibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle tor the terrific

The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mon,ays. Tues.

Art, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that tioutbby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless
triumph.
The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far
