HAIGHT 4 CHAMBERS CIRCUS AND
Observation-Disclosures of novel,
instructive, and moral character, prop
erly presented and judiciously managed,
were ever attractive and pleasing to
the the intelligent and discriminating,
until unprincipled charlatens and
mountebanks, without character or
standing, SO deceived them, by glowing
announcements and flaming posters,
that they begin to look with suspicion
upon the advertisements of all travel
ing exhibitions, dreading other imposi-
tons, and fearing the day was past for
the production and presentation
or genuine and praiseworthy entertain
ments. We are glad to learn, from the
numerous and highly creditable enconi-
ums passed on the company by our ex-
changes, that the proprietors of the gi-
gantic notwithstanding had years of
experience, in which they acquainted
themselves thoroughly with the tastes
and wants of the amusement-loving
pnblic, and, in catering to them, gain
ed a reputation and celebrity Of which
they are justly proud, and ample means
to accomplish the long wishedfor-ob.
iect of presenting to their patrons
The most worthy and elegant
Exhibition it has ever been
their good fortune to witness-have
succeeded, beyond their most sanguine
expectations, in organizing one that
meets with the hearty approval Of the
most critical and reflects credit upon
the proprietors. To this end, Messrs.
Haight & Chambers have bestowed time
and labor without stint, and freely eX-
pended an immense outlay; the very
best artists Of this and other countries
were engaged, in order that all the
novelties and specialities of Equestrian
ism, Gymnastics, Acrobats, Athletics,
&c, might be procured in style of
unparalleled splendor and effect. That
they have succeeded in this endeavor, a
q single visit to the Colossal Circus will
satisfy the most skeptical.
To complete the Animal Department
was herculean task, from which men
of less energy would have involuntarily
shrank. But, nothing daunted, they
have nobly performed their task, and,
we are pleased to learn, have also sue
ceeded beyond their most cherished
hopes, and are now prepared tc present
the fruits of their labor as one of the
leading attractions of this imposing
combination, and as pleasing subjects
of study to the lover of natural history.
Their equipments are new, complete
and elegant; their wardrobe is superb;
their trappings gorgeous; their deco
rations rich and elegant and their ac-
commodations for visitors neat, COM
Portable and convenient. The Musical
Department is under the leadership of
the skilled and well-known Professor
Story, with his champion Silver Cornet
Band, and Prof. Pearsons Reed and
String Band, both of which are ac-
knowledged to be without superiors in
the beautiful and artistic rendition of
popular and fashionable music. a.
Last, though not least, we will no.
tice their character abroad, which is
truly recommendation to them. 1t
is said of them, "as only first-class ar
fists have been engaged, every act is
executed in mastery manner, aud no
word or scene will-under any circum-
stances-be allowed that will bring the
faintest blush to the most sensitive
cheek. To this the proprietors have
pledged their reputation, and they have
kept their faith, and we confidently as
sure the ladies the respect due them, in
word or demeanor, will be carefully
observed BY every attache of the cem-
pany."
They exhibit here on Friday and Sat-
urday, May 18th and 18th, and We
would say to our readers, try them, and
We really think you will not find them
wanting in any respect.
