and throughout the world, as the ACROBAT BRorr-
Frs, or Holland Family. whose services have
been procured nj an enormous expense, will up.
pear IN each performance.
LuCLl.N and JULIAN HOLLAND will
appear in their unparalleled and truly elegant:
icats. The extraordinary ilexibIity OF limb cx-
hlbicd by these artstes cannot fail Of giving the
greatest satisfaction. No accurate cpt,on
can be formed without witnessing them. The
splendid attitudes, and easy graceful bearing
which characterize their performance, appear nj
once sonatural and unaffected, tina, they a, once
rvet the undivided attention OF the beholdcrs.
Their ieats comprise extraordinary muscular ev-
oluiions of strength and incredible acts Of agi-
~, rendering them unequallcd by any ar,istcs
in the world.
LUCLaE HOLLAND the celebrated anti
podean equilibrist, will appear on the Magic
Ladder. The extraordinary manner in which
this performer reverscs the laws Of graviiation
and attraction, has been the surprise Of phlIoso-
pher. and the wonder Of the public. Elevated
ut fearful height, his feet perform the different
functions OF his hands; and while balanced on an
almost incredible space, executes rotary mo-
ton with no other assistance than thar which the
muscles OF the head and shoulders afford.

a barrel around the arena while carving his
brother in varict, OF the most difficult positions.
IL is impossible To describe this wonderful act

Holland, child of six years, will perform the
great icni Of propclling the barrel by himself
This novel act is OF itself worth the price Of ad-
mission.
