COMMENCEMENT OF THE SEASON,
. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS,
GRAND WHITSUN FETES.
ON WHIT.MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND
THURSDAY.
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 presents. The Gardens have been completely renovated,
'tattles and Fountains introduced, new and extensive Promenades
termed, and the most lavish expenditure in every department,
11l evince the troprietor's anxiety to insure a continuance ol public
''atronage.
THE NEW GRAND PICTORIAL MODEL OF
LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIME:
Painted by Denson and Telbin,
the most gigantic achievement ever yet produced, and for grandeur
~f composition, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it far
exceeds any previous production. It accurately represents ancient
oudon—Old St. Paul's—Oid Lindon Bridge—Baynard's Castle, and
II the principal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may
Keith truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo-
e.t.rn times.
THE MENAGEBIE, ALWAYS UNRIVALLED,
HAS RECELVED MANY VALUABLE ADDITIONS.
To defy all competition, the Propriet, r has engaged the celebrated
AMERICA'S DWARF 'l' ”1 THUMB!
ow exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, l'iccadilly.
The PROMENADE CONCERTS—the splendid Band of Fifty
Performers, conducted by Mr. Godfrey—will perform a selection of
the newest and most `copular music.
The far-famed HIGHLAND DANCERS AND PIPERS are
also engaged, and will go through two acts 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 whim in justice belongs the appellation of" Fire
King") has exhausted the resources of his art, to give effect to this
exhibition. London 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
~elineations taken at the period, and the coup d'ceil will give a vivid
representation of a Great City destroyed by fire.
