Yankee Robinson's Consolidated
Shows, according to the advertisement in
another column, wlllvisit this city on satur7
day, May % "A simple announcement Of
this popular establishment, with the nu-
merous attractions recently added, is suf-
ficient to create a furore at any time or
place, and especially any point where it
has visited the second time. We believe it
to be generally conceded by those who saw
the exhibition during its stay here last
season, that Yankee Robinson's was deci-
dedly the best that ever put in an appear
auce in Fremont. Judging from the un-
aniuous sentiment Of the Dayton press,
where it wintered, we are led to believe
that in addition to last years features, which
have been measurably retained, many new
and sensational attracti DDS have been adde / ,
which are calqulated to place it far in ad-
vance Of anything of the kind ever before
attempted in the way ofpublic amusemeDts,
We opine that any person visiting Yankee
Robinson's great consolidation of "nine
shows in one, - will be amply repaid by the
Instructions and amusements therein gained
A Dayton correspondent Of a Detroit paper
says: 1--WE visited yesterday, by special
invitations of tie genLemanly management,
Yankee Rebinson's great ideal show-for
Yankee is chock full of ideality and were
both amused and astouished at the variety
and extent of this inimitable and unique de-
moDstrstiOn of what appeared to me to be the
maximum of greatness in a live shOwman's
day-dream, while in the zenith of prosperity,
and grasping after the almost supernatural
in the physical or geological world. We

kee," and many years ago heard him play the
comedy of "True Love, &" in his perapatetic
Atheneum, under canvas, wherein the mem-
ory of 'stand down the Hail." runneth not
to the contrary, but never before have we
realized the magnitude of the vast consoli-
dation which bears his name, till we actually
saw, with our own eyes, many of the nu
nerous and ATTRACTIVE features which are al
ways to be seen beneath his colossal pavil-
lion.
Six or eight months ago, through the en-
terprise of the management, an experienced
agent was dispatched TO India, Asia and
Africa, 10 secure the choicest excerpts of
zoology to be found in those far-0ff lands,
and among the many acquisitions was herd
Of pure white Bactrian Camels, which are
really the finest and largest specimens ever
imported. About four weeks after they ar
rived Ia this city, one OF them gave birth to
a beautiful little white double bumped baby
Camel. Although fears we're at first enter
tanned of being able to preserve it alive
being the first Of this rare species ever born
in America-yet TO our great delight, we
found it alive and well, HWaxiug fat and
kicking" and bids fair to be one ofthe most
interesting features of the menagerie. Time
and space will not admit of an extended no.
tice Of the merits of this concern. 1t is truly
grand in proportion, and contains more no.
Velties than any exhibition travelling.
In the way of sensation, Madame SeDyeah,
the beautiful Cretan female gymnast, in her
great transept fight upon the trapeze, and
her graceful pirOuette de cOrde slspeHdl,
has been added, and we prophecy great de-
monstrations of enthusiasm at each and every
appearance of this charming athlete in the
gymnastic department of Yankee Robinson's
Consolidated Show"
