1.-THE manager. ofthe Mammoth establishment,
through their gentlemanly agent, Mr.. H. l.. Steb-
bins, have made arrangements with nis honor,
Mayor Lowry, and others, in which they profer
half their receipts Of the circus for one week. for
the benefit Of the Pittsburg Sanitary Fair, the
Treasurer, Door Keepers, Ticket Agents, &c, 10
be Of the Mayors appointment, he to have COM
plete control Of the establishment during the
time specified. This Is q most liberal offer on the
part OF the managers, and as the show is the best
now travelling, presenting the latest novelties we
feel assured Of this fact in connection with the
laudabls object for which the exhibition is given
will secure crowded houses. All Of the perform
ers are Of first class character--snd especially
may this be said Of Mile. Louise Tonnaire, the
most accomplished female equestrienne Of the
