riety show OH Jefferson street. Den
Thompson and his troupe of female
bathers twenty in number) will present
an attractive entertainment never before

doubt crowd the house to excess.
RoBIYsoNs CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE.-
This mammoth establishment will camp
on the bluff on Tuesday next and will
give two exhibitions each day, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. The Courier
journal, of Louisville, refers to the show
in the following style:
Although Robinson's Great World
Exposition has come to town at a time
when it would seem that the city was
surfeited with arenic amusements, never
theless, judging from the heavy business
done yesterday, it is probable that it will
effect a more successful engagement
here than any of its rivals. While there
was a we'll filed auditorium 10 the alter
noon, at night every available seat was
taken, and the canvas bounds taxed to
contain the multitude. The entertain
ment "a altogether of a superior order.
The ~menagerie, besides being well
stocked with the staple animal curiosi-
ties, contains in addition a ~rhinoceros, a
giraffe, an ostrich, the largest Gland on
the continent, a half dozen elephants,
and as many camels, and two sea lions
that form the connecting link in the
chain OF Development between the fish
and the beast.
First, and the Apollo of the arena par
excellence, was Robt. Stickney, who lead
the leapers to their act, who, after some
preliminary aerial evolutions, threw a
double somersault over twenty-five
horses. Elnino Eddy, the rope-walker,
made quite a hit. His backward move
meDt on the rope, alighting erect upon
his feet, was an extraordinary feat, and
deserved the applause it received. Very
daring trapezists are Messrs. Whitney
and Davenport. Whitney, in one in
stance, stands erect on the trapez bar,
while Davenport hangs beneath, his only
support being the interlocking Of his feet
about the formers ankles. Whitney
then lets 20 his hold on the rope, and in
that position they remain until the ap-
plause subsidies. Romeo Sebastion pro-
yes himself a capable equestrian, while
Miss Tournour does some juggling on
horseback, and some trapez swimming
that entities her to the rank of a star
performer. Miss Rosalind Stickney is a
very graceful horse-woman, making
among other things a leap through e
hoop about the size Of a dollar, more or
less. Miss Emma Lake and her trained
ponies form an interesting incident OF
the programme. She also rides over
hurdles in a very dashing manner lifting
her horse with conspmmate skill. The
performance must, however, be seen to
be properly appreciated. The pro-
gramme is to lengthy to be detailed, with
the complimentary mention appropriate.
That all is enjoyable will be evident
when it is known that Lowlow is the
clown, aud a very prince Of this motley
he is.
