ACTING ANIMALS.
In addition to all these, we have trick and
trained horses, ponies and other animals in
great variety, besides tpo performing Ele-
plants.
The band is under the leadership of Prof.
Joseph Withers, late director of the orchestra
at the New York and Broadway Theatres, and
ton in this country, and greatly adds to the
attractivcness of the entertainment.
The Pavilion is not only water proof,
bu, it is the largest and coolest ever manu-
featured.
Two EXHIBITIONS FOR ONE ADHESION.
The Circus and Menagerie constitute distinct
entertainments, "Menagerie Levecs" being
held one hour before the Circus begins, and
for just what you are charged to sec
Circus only, you can, by attending Bailey S
Menagerie and Circus. behold most COM
plete Menagerie land if you choose lcmain and
witness a Circus entertainment, where you
will see performers who never before appear
ed in this section of the country, and whose
acts are all new and original; and where
nothing is said or done that would bring a
blush to the face of the most modest maiden.
Admission to ALL both Menagerie and Circus,
is only so cents for adults, and % cents for
children under 10 years of age.
THE GRAND Procession
will enter town between and 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning, and if you don't attend the
exhibition, it will most certainly afford you
pleasure to see this splendid street parade
The ponderous and unique chariot is not
drawn by horses, but by a par, ofmishty Ele-
plants, equal to one hundred and .ffty horse
poner.
This chariot will contain the band; then
all the principal actors will appear, elegantly
costumed, and mounted upon their perform
ing horses; following will come the massive
animal dens, beautifully ornamented, the
horses plumed and drivers uniformed; the
entire cortege extending in length one mile.
The PROOF.
A believer in the principle OF ''proving all
things and holding fast that which is good"
we subjoin few brief extracts from the press
of several cities in other States, in order to
prove the truth of any statement made or re-
peated by us in this article. During the week
ending June 18th, this establishment was ex-
hibitng at Boston, and below will be found
the expressions of the daily press OF that city
concerning the Grand Caravan and the
great Circus"
The Transcript says: ''Baieys Menagerie
and Circus Continuation is the best exhibition
of the kind ever brought to this city"
The Traveller says: .'More pleasurable and
instructive entertainment has been afforded,
both to old and young, from Bailey's exhibi-
ton, than ever before was derived from a
similar entertainment"
The Boston Journal alludcs to it as follows
The general moral tone of the entertainment
is good
The Post says: Everything advertised was
exhibited, and all present voted it the best en-
tertainment seen in Boston for years"
Last week the company appeared in Port
land, and the Argus says
"Bailey's Menagerie and Circus is ahead of
anything we have had in Portland for years.
There is nothing coarse or insipid about it,"
Says the Press ''Baieys Circus is far
above the generality of circus performances.
The Advertiser says: "Baley's Menagerie
and Circus combines amusement with instruc-
ton. We take special pleasure in commend.
ing it to the people of our city and State"
The crowds that fill the pavilion attest the
satisfaction, and demonstrate the popularity
of our entertainment with the people. Come
and judge for yourselves. ..-...-. ... -...
