TIE HAN1oN TRoupE.-Ihis unrivaled troupe,
with their European combination had q large au-
dience LIST evening, notwithstanding the inoleta-
ency Of the weather. The The Flying Men OF the
Air alternately sstonished Al. leighted Their au-
dieaee by their de1terous feats Of strength, and
although not quite India rubber they are certainly
more flexible than most ,nortals Their command
over their muscles is great, and the nicely with
which they calculate the distances and in mo-
ment launch themselves either forward or bank-
ward is extraordinary.
The flying leap in tho air must be ssen to be aI'-
preciated, as it is almos indescribable. During
it's performance the audience remain spel-bound,
momentarily expecting to see the daring gymnasts
dashed in pieces; but their confidence in their
powers is sure, and they leap into the air and are
caught with the greatest precision. 1t requires
the incest calculation to perfect this fact and we
opine that none but three such inVncibles as the
HAf1oNs would undertake it.
Their performances have elected universal ap-
plause and the Charleston public have shown
their appreciation Of their. acting by the crowded
houses that have nightly attended this exhibition
or the two fair ddnseuses too much cannot ha
said. The ease and grace with which the tight
rope dancing is performed, and the perfect conf
dence they have in their own ability, is remark"
able, ~
Professor TANNER and his trained dogs and mon
keys form an important feature in the entertain
ment and their acting is worthy Of all praise. The
,Juggler is marvel Of slil and the dexterity with
which be handles china would commend him to
any housskeepers heart. His familiarity with
bottles is astonishing, and the confidence he places
in their stability must have been gained only BY .
long study. He is certainly the wonder Of the ago,
and far surpasses any who have ever visited this
city.
The Pantomime, which closes the entertain
ment, is in keeping with the whole performance,
and the attention is rivstted until the close. As
This troupe will remain in the city only two nights
longer, the opportunity should be embraced by MI
to pay them visit. II will never be regretted,
but will be fruitful theme of conversation in
future years.

Of a popular establishment, well known TO King
