THE GREAT EAsrERN CIRCUS,

THE GREAT EASTERN CIRCUS.
Every one will bear in mind that Tues
day, July 9TH, is the day this show makes
its appearance here. The tents viii be
pitched on the premises of L. S. Sherman,
on Lake St From the st. Louis Daily
Journal we clip the following:
The Great Eastern Circus and Menag-
erie, now on exhibition at the Four Courts
lot. is one of the best institutions OF the
kind that has ever exhibited here, and. un-
| favorable as the weather has been, there
has been crowded tents at every exhibi-
ton. The Circus is especially excellent,
and is not surpassed in the Union for the
perfection of its details. As has been
stated, Mr.. James Robinson, the worlds
| champion bareback rider, and his two
sons, are of the troupe, the announcement
of which is of itself enough to fill the tent.
Mr.. Robinson's challenge of $4,000 to
any other equestrian claiming rivalry with
him, stands at the head of a column OF
the leading show paper of America, and
that will be placed alongside a similar
amount to substantiate the fact that he
is the best rider in the world.
WAIT FOR THE great event of the CEN
tury, Thursday. July 9th. The closing
years of the nineteenth century NAV
properly be termed a prodigous age. Men
move now as though they were giants
with each separate nerve driven with a
powerful steam engine. Particularly is
this true in relation to the show business.
Trackless deserts, dense and tangled for
esfs and jungles, the caves of the noun
tains and recesses of the great deep, the
whole arena of nature are penetrated and
dragged and searched in order to produce
the rarest animals, the mightiest mon
sters, the most beautifully plumaged
birds, the largest and most deadly ser
pents to place on exhibition for mans de-
light and amusement. Vast pavillions
have been constructed, the genius of man
has been subsidized and even beauty has
been placed under tribute to add to the
attrachveness and amusement in the way
of Menagerie, Mus cum, Aquarium, Avi-
airy, &C., such one as we are promised
upon the appearance.of The Great New
York and New Orleans Geological and
Equestrian Exhibition which will arrive
in this city on Thursday, July 9th-in
speaking OF which we can do no better
than quote the following from the Spring
field, H., Journal:
W. W. COLES GREAT NEW YORK AND NEW
ORLEANS EXPOSITION
yesterday forenoon appeared on our thor
oughfares with one of the most extensive
pageants that was ever shown In our city.
1t was great perambulatIng panorama of
wealth and splendor. the result of the
lavish outlay of great fortune. Taken
all in all it was one of the finest displays
ever seen in our city, and the exhibition
was patronized by the largest audience
ever congregated under any circus payil-
lion here. The animal kingdom was well
represented, and was filed with rare spec
linens: The performance in the hippo
drome was OF the highest order of art
and science in the arena, and ELECTED un-
affected praise. Prof Conklin with his
den OF ferocious lions, inspired the amaze
ment and awe of everybody. We can
safely say that this great show fills the
advertisement more closely than any 9TH
er we have ever seen, and we highly re-
commend it.
Do not be mislead, but judge for your
selves, from outside appearances, which is
the largest and the best An excursion

the close of the afternoon performance.
