ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
THE Public are respectfully informed, that, in honour of
the Great Agricultural Meeting, the Proprietor intends
giving a GRAND GALA, on the most splendid 9ale ever
attempted, TO-MORROW (Wednesday), the 21st instant.
In order to insure the greatest possible novelty an arrange-
ment has been made with the celebrated Pyr echnist, Signor
SEMONI, Artist to the Court of Naples Milan, who will
introduce the most brilliant display o REWORKS, con-
sisting of the Grand Colossal and N el Pieces fired by him
on the Continent. The whole of tl Pyrotechnical Display
will on this occasion be entirely changed, and form a com-
pletely new order of firing. The Gardens will be SPLEN-
DIDLY ILLUMINATED, exhibiting many elegant em-
blematical devices ; thousands of Variegated Lamps will be
tastefully and ingeniously interspersed among the Trees and
Shrubs, exhibiting a perfect Fairy Scene, while the Upper
Grounds will display one gorgeous blaze of light ! To con-
clude with the STORMING of ST. JEAN b'ACRE, ar-
ranged by DAI!'ION, 011 this occasion, with great additional
effect, finisln.,„: 7.'!.rrific Explosion of the Magazine,
and Grand Allegorical Tableau of Victory.
The Proprietor begs leave to draw the attention of Visitors
and Strangers to the great variety of Specimens of all de-
scriptions which will be found in this Collection. The Aqua-
tic Birds may be seen floating on the lake and ornamental
waters, in all their beauty and fine plumage. The accommo-
dation afforded to the animals of a larger description permits
them to be seen in a state as nearly approaching nature as
possible. The immense Rhinoceros has his spacious pad-
dock for exercise, and the Elephant his bath, in which he
frequently luxuriates, exhibiting a buoyancy truly surprising.
This noble animal is extremely docile, and performs many
amusing tricks. The Gardens are. in the most luxuriant
state, and afford to the Botanist and Naturalist many oppor-
tunities for contemplation. To those in search of amuse-
ment there is not a more delightful place of public resort.
An excellent Brass and famous Military Band will be in
attendance. Firing to commence at Half-past Nine.

Feeding time commences at Five O'Clock
