COL. AMrs, CIRCUS.
Tho Next Grand southern Tour this
n rtI HfaN spring.

1
We learn that Col c. T. Ames will
soon start forth from New Orleans witt
his great menagerie and circus on an
other Southern tour. He has, perhaps
the finest collection of living wild ami
mails ever brought together One OF the
most startling and thrilling features OF
the exhibition will be the daring per
formances Of Herr Lengel, the lion-tamer,
who enters their cages, and controls his
ferocious and untamed pets by the power
of his will as though they were mere kit
tens. The wonderful MIC, an oriental
beast, seventeen feet high and somewhat
resembling camel, is in the collection;
also, magnificent herd of camels, supe-
rior to any heretofore exhibited in the
United States
Some of the principal animals that will
be seen under Colonel Ames' immense
pavilion are the peri rming elephant
+" Bismarck, intr reduced by his trainer,
Mr.. johnson, the great elephant hunter;
baby elephant, she smallest one ever
seen in this count ~; Her Lingells dens
of trained tigers, eopards and cougars;
a Russian elk of immense proportions;
a royal Bengal tig ar; a vicious gorilla, or
man monkey; white bear; pair OF
cub lions; a gris ely bear that weighs
sixteen hundred pounds in his stockings;
and an endless variety of monkeys, apes
and other animals, too numerous to men
ton The circus is one of the largest in
the country. Mile Lucille Watson and
Mr.. Fred Watson are the leading eques-
trian stars. The latter performs forty
backward somersaults on horseback,
while running at terrific speed.
Harry Tibbs and his talented children;
Thomas H. Hodge and his horse Pearl;
Johnny Lawton, the capital clown;
Charles Seeley, another droii, comicai
clown; J. A. Ball, the leading gymnast
star; Millsen Brothers, accomplished |
gymnasts and acrobats; and many others
of American and European celebrity |
have been engaged for the tour, and will !
be conspicuous in the performances.
Altogether it will be one of the most
complete shows ever put under canvas,
and will not fail to attract immense
crowds wherever the mammoth combina-
ton may go. This is but faint sketch
of one of the best disciplined and most
worthy entertainments of the kind ever
brought before the Southern people, and
wherever it may travel it is worthy of
the patronage and success that has here
tofore attended Colonel Ames efforts to
please the public.
