DOWAGER, his Boyal Highness PRINCE ALBERT, &c.
ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS,
MONDAY and TUESDAY, AUGUST 4 and 5, 1845.

The Proprietor, flattered by the Success which has attended his ex-
ertions, has determined to give TWO DAYS' FETE on a more ex-
ended Scale than has ever before been witnessed. In announcing a
SYLVAN FETE,
The Proprietor's aim will be directed to enable the Subscribers,
Nobility, Gentry and the Public, to witness those RUSTIC SPORTs
which are nearly obsolete, but the observance of which procured for
this country the title of" Merrie England," and which, in the Olden
Time, constituted the principal Amusements of a country fair !
The pecullary English sports of the May-pole with its Morris dan-
cers, Friar Tuck, 3laid Marian, Pipe and Tabor, &e., will be ex-
hibited.

" The May-pole is up, now give me the oup,
I'll drink to the garlands around it."—HEaracx.
A display of the noble science of ARCHERY! will take place by
the Members of the Toxopholite Clubs, in their Forest Costume.
The science of Archery, but for the manly and spirit-stirring efforts
of the Archery Clubs, would soon become a " Tale of by-gone Days,"
co-existent with Robin Hood and His Merry Men, when in Sherwood
Forest they drew " The cloth-yard shaft," and the welkin rang with
" the shouts of the foresters bold."
" Hail to our leader, brays Robin Hood,
For a noble marksman and forester good."
A decorated ravilion will be erected for the use of the competitors.
The magnificent modelled representation of EDINBURGH, the
chef d'ceuvre of the scenic art, and the Unequalled Menagerie will be
exhibited.
