IHE GREAT Snow FROM OVER THE
ocEAN,-Our advertising columns to-day
promise our readers, something unusually and
desirably novel aud varied in the way of
amusement, in Gharlestown Friday July Both,
in visit from a. b Rothchild s. Royal Vic
toria Meuagerie, sAsio>African Caravan and
Continental Circus, which comes all the way
across the stormy Atlantic TO test the liberaIity
aud appreciation of the American public,
previous to locating itself at Philadelphia as
one of the features of the forthcoming Gem
tenuial Celebration.
We bespesk for our foreign visitor golden
welcome, not only on account of respect for
the nerve involved in making such singular
and risky venture and the unduubtcd mag
nitude. elegance aud propriety of the exhi>
bition, but because rara good faith is demon>
strated in the emphatic describing of the
museum trash. largely employed by other
shows to swinile the people and give pre-
posterously false idea of their size and attracs
tons. Oar new candidate for arenic recog>
milton sticks bravely and squarely in its an
nouncement text to the legitimate features of
tent enterta;nments; the ones we really go to
see and enjoy, and beyond which lie the realms
of fraud
We need not specify the special animals ard
noted artists conf ined to at once instruct and
delight, but the feature of the gigantic per-
forming rhinoceros, "Himalaya," ia one at
once unusual and extraordinary as to de-
serve special prominence as the hills say, he
is "a whole show alone, ~ and will add greatly
the general desire perccptib'e to seek the
great double payilions of the distinguished
uomadic stranger.
