POSITIVELY THE LAST GRAND GALA OF THE
SEASON
TO-MORROW, (WEDNESDAY,) the 3lst instant.:
EXTRAORDINARY NOVELTIES!
IUrR. ATKINS, anxious to merit a continuance of the
/111 patronage so liberally bestowed, respectfully announces
that he has entered into an expensive arrangement with the
eminent Artist

MONSIEUR GOUFFE,

Whose distinction of character between the wild and domes-

Naturalists and thousands of delighted spectators the most
correct representation in the capacities of man.
The extraordinary performances of Mons. GOUFFE has
been witnessed by crowded audiences, not only in England,
but in every Theatre on the vast Continent of America for
the last four years. The spirit and confidence with which
this Phenomenon performs his evolutions keeps the specta-
tors in constant wonder ; his feats are performed with that
decided ease which characterises the Animal of whose eccen-
tricities Mons. Gouffe is so happy in his illustration.
In addition to the above, an arrangement has been entered
into with the celebrated

London.) whose recent performances here have been wit-
nessed with intense anxiety and breathless awe by assembled
