THY JOHN RoBINsoN Shown regard to
this mammoth combination which exhibits here
on the 9Th and 9TH September the Brooklyn
Eagle says:
This circus-certainly the best thing that
ever visited this city opened yesterday at the
old circus grounds, Fulton avenue, near Hoyt
street. This Is not only circus, but men
ag6Tle, Circus and aquarium combined. The
menagerie is well worth visiting, for il contains
not only the animals which are the attractions
in other menageries, but rare animals that have
never before been exhibited in this country.
The largest elephant, rhinocerOus and sea lions
ever seen here are to be seen in this show.
The aquarium, too, Is another excellent and iu-
strucuye feature Of this mammonth entertain
meIt, and the splendid artists, riders, gymuasts
and acrobatS who take part Ia the circus, are all
OF them in the front rank of their professions,
and their performances are Absolutely marvel
Gus. a visit to either of these entertainments
would amply repay the visitor in his outlay, but
all a.e TO be witnessed in one; and while
one Will amuse the children, the other part will
instruct. The opportunity should be seized to
see this meritoriOUs show before it departs"
We may add That, in order to accommodate the
public, tickets will be placed on sale at COS
Pennsy lyaIia avenue.
