UNCLE JOHN RoBINsoN's mammoth
pos ters are appearing all over the city
and informing the public that his i'm
mense Circus and Menagerie will favor
Cincinnati with its presence during the
week commencing June l4th. 1t is to
cover five acres OF the Union Baseball
grounds, and furnish seating accommo-
dations for nearly ten thousand people.
Mr.. Robinson takes especial pride in
giving his neighbors of Cincinnati the
very best shO " he can produce, and the
entertainment this season bids fair TO
outrival anything ever seen here. He
has recently expended $4,000 in pur-
chasing additional attractions to his al
ready extensive Menagerie, and his
thousands of friends in the city will not
fail to attest their appreciation of his
effort is and their regard for him during
the presence of his show IN the city.
THE many friends of Mr.. r. E. j. Miles,
of this city, will regret to learn that the
great circus and menagerie, known as
@Americas Racing Association and
Congress of Nations," of which he
was Treasurer, is suffering seriously
from financial embarrassment. we
learn from Albany papers that
attachments for some $4,000 from par
ties in this city and Of $4,000 from other
parties have been issued against 1t, and
that probably it has given its last per-
formance. The show was organized here,
and being under the management of
some of our most popular amusement
caterers, its failure will be much re-
gretted in this CITY. The cause
seems to have been combination
of unfortunare circumstances which can
in no way be attributed to the manage
ment furnished by Cincinnati. Mr..
Miles has been one of our most success
full amusement men, and any failure to
continue so on his part has only resulted
from an attempt to preside over too
many institutions of this kind at once,
and Of trusting the details to subordi-
mates who have proven incompetent. 1t
| Is to be hoped he will return to his first
love. and by giving his personal super
vision to matters here give his Clnoin-
natl establishment its former tone and
eucceSS.
