1t is probable that p. T. Barnum has reaped
SUFFICIENT fame and fortune to satisfy even his
'vauIting ambition" but his spirit Of enterprise,
az a collector and exhibitor Of every animate and
insnimate novelty upon which he can lay his far
reaching hand, seems as uncomfortable as the
restlessness Of the Wandering Jew, and keeps
him in "the tented field, where ne towers the
chosen Knight Of Marvel Land-sSRS pTsr ct sans
reProehe. Hence the announcement that his
great travelling worlds fair and colossal eomblna-
ton OF twenty superior shows In one will exhibit
at Sixth street lot all the week, afternoon and
evening.
1t Is not our purpose 10 moralize over the
idiosyncrasies Of this Wo nderful mAnager-indI-
vidually greater marvel than his entire vast
collectiOn-and We need bat remark that he Is q
modern, peaceful Alexander, signing for moro
worlds OF wonder to conquer The immense as
vast canvas Metropolis are the biggest kind Of q
show in themselves, and the mere unparalleled
magnitude OF this worlds amusement exposition
is because its novelty Is even superior to its sze
and people will not be denied glimpse at what
human nature-or at least ofits wonder loving and
mountaineering chsracteristics-has adopted

collection of rare wild beasts since Noah went into

thousands Of curiosities and the most ingenious
automation figures Of men, birds and animals

greatest equestrienne OF the age; Tony, the child
hero: Luke Rivers Nathalie LoWande, and the
famous Leslie brothers THESE, together with
many others, are speeialties among thousands OF
attractions superior to anything to be found in
any other travelling exhibition. What wonder,
then, that the great object teachers Growing
achievement creates Il turore wherever its vast
city Of tents is pitched?
