! GREAT EASTERN MENAGERIE AND CIRUCs. I'm
will be made glad by the news that this gigan-
tic consolidation Of all that is worth seeing III
the geological, wonder and arenic aggregationf
will be here on Monday, September 22-Court,
| day-the most noted and convenient of all days
| or country friends to come to town we
re especially happy in stoutly endorsing this
| great show since it combines more useful, IN
struetive and genuine excellence than any exhl-
bition we have noticed on the road this season.
Many who have seen it pronouncing it superior to
the great Barnum show. That it has merit and
felicitous attraction beyond all of its competi-
tors is evidenced by the warm and hearty COM
mendation bestowed upon it by the universal
press wherever it has exhibited thi s season. -
Still another and more incontrovertible reason
why we thus heartily endorse the Great Eastern,
is because its general agent is Major W. W. Du-
rand, southern man. and the best known
agent that ever travelled the entire Southern
country. He has been here and throughout vir-
ginia nearly every year since the war, and he has
always advertised the strongest and largest

the Great Eastern is emphatically the grandest
triumph with which he has ever been connected.
But where the use to elaborate since ell are sat
isfed of its magnitude We add q single extract
to this notice from reliable exchange:
"GRrAr EAsTERN.-This great entertainment
was crowded last night to overlooking, and hum
dreds were turned from the doors, unable to gain
admission. There is no doubt but this magnih-
cent geological and arenic exhibition is on the
tide of popular favor, and that.is performances
give the most unbounded and universal satisfac-
ton. The Menagerie is not only extensive ana
we'll selected, but embraces many rare and here
tofore unseen specimens from the ANIMAL KING
dom. The Hama, zebra, sacred cow and calf
tiger, African lions, gorilla. jaguar, leopard
California grizzly bear, puma and monkeys and
birds, are particularly fine. This part of the
show is attractive, and affords lessons of useful
instruction to students of natural history, and,
in fact everybody. s--ssvssgge
The Circus part Of the programme is given by
double corps of performers in two rings at the
same time, and embraces many old and we'll
known celebrities. Among them will be found
the menage queen, Emma Lake. Marie Elise, the
splendid horsewoman the great equestrian Cor
roll family c. H. Lowry, bareback hurdle rid
er the popular gymnasts, Miaco brothers; Wm
Watson, Charles Spencer, the Davenport broth
ers, jerome futile, Adolpn barraDo, rreuefish
Sylvester, and many others known to fame
The clowns, O. Lee Fowler and Sam McFlynn,
are particularly funny, and say many new and 1
original things.
This establishment presents more and better
horses than any we have seen for years They
are beautifully marked; sleek and clean, and are
excellently we'll trained.
The management is assduous and polite in at
tentions to the public, and we can not only
heartily indorse, but stoutly recommend the i'm
mense Great Eastern. 1t is truly big show
grand exhibition.-Bufa1o, (N. ~ Express,
