THERE is BUT ONE JOHN ROBINSON,
4 LAST WORD-TO ALL WHOM 1T MAY
CONCERN:

4 LAST WORD-TO ALL WHOM II MAY
CONCERN:
come among YOU with the last great browning
triump,, of nv managerial ifc AIy greatest desire
H. to nlease and astonSh YOU with an exhibition
never seen before, AMI containing more than any
other travelling exhibition. | have expended over
ONE MILLION DOLLARS In this immense enter
prIse. The public and public press throughout The
United States wherever my great exhibition ms ira
YELLED all agree in declaring that my great Colossal
Combination Is greater and better than lrefrc-
sent IT, aud that 1t 10 far superior to any Show ever
set H. and that to miss seeing would be the rseret Ola
lifetime and In all human probability you VIII never
look upon the like again. Immense us have been my
exhibitions of past years, the present one Is three
times larger than any ever before sceI The great
number of novelties which my agents shipped me
last winter have caused my great show to ougrow
itself and to exceed my own expectations. III could
NOT t prescnt be transported without the aid of 1000
men and horses; hence i am unexpectedly coul-
PEELED to transport my entire show-ilihals, ilorscs,
chariots, wagons and All army OF performers ana
assIstauts-by railroad, requiring cglty-v freight
cars five passenger coaches, three distinct trains ana
three locomotives. AS my dIily expenses reach
900, we can only stop At the large towns; but cS-
cursion trains can he easily made mp by the public at
reduced rates 1t frequently happens, notwithstad-
ming visitors are unable to gain admission for want
of room shnll therefore, often rs possible, give
n morning performance. AT each of these day ex-
hibtions everything will be seen the same as IN the
evening, including the Museum, Menagcrie, Aqua
rum and the entire performance In the HippoTpme
and Circus. Ny last word Ia therefore, to advise
| ladies' children, families, and all who can couve-
piently do so, 10 attend these day exhibitions, rs
they will thus have time and room TO examine The
r1,n
doors are open one hour before the Circus begins. TO
afford an opportunity to all to examine the myrits
of marvels which my tents contain. The magnii-
cent street pageant and procession of elephants,
camels golden chariots, horses, end forty ponies,
and brilliant display of slded and mirrored equip
ages. usually takes place before O'Clock in the
morning, and Is worth going one hundred miles 10
see.
It Is advisable that planters and others from the
country. as well as those who get up railroad excur-
sion trains arrive In town by or "a O'Clock In the
morning. III this way they can witness the grand
proccsslon attend the early exhibitions and be at
home again before night All through the West and
South last year school commissioners and teachers
decided that the object-less0ns taught children by
our Museum OF Natural History, rs well AZ of
Science and Art, were too valuable to lose; hence
almost invariably the schools were closed, the chill
dren the grand street procession, and attended
the early exhibitions. When schoolswcrc not thus
closed they deserted, for parents would not fail
TO crafty their little aud give them great les
SON In Understanding which could not he learned
elsewhere.
