/ GIGANTIC EXHIBITION SOON TO BE- HERE.
As will be seen by the immense advertise.
ments, which appear in our columns this
morning, We are 10 have one Of the largest
and most complete shows that is at present
on the road We have been disappointed
and deceived until II is a real source Of graft
fcation to feel assured that at last we will
have an exhibition worthy Of patronage The
Great New York and New Orleans Geological
and Equestrian Exposition, will appear on
orr principal streets on kwddy, aptambv 9.
In speaking Of this great show, weeAn do no
better than quote the following from the Buf-
falo IN. ~ Courier:
'sThe Great New York and New Orleans
Geological and Equestrian Exposition made
its appearance in the city yesterday morning,
and its procession commanded universal ad-
miration. The dromedaries, the music car,
the numerous dens of wild animals, the brill
liant cavalcade, and the now famous Partisan
calliope, these and the other features which
make mp the cortege, presented highly at
tractive appearance, and made our streets
take on gala appearance.
Although the weather was threatening in
the afternoon, the attendance was very large,
but it remained to the evening to put the
monster circus pavilion to the test. Such an
assemblage We have not seen together since
Barnum paid US a visit last summer, and
hundreds had to content themselves with an
occasional glimpse of the performance in the
ring. So great was the crowd, and so close
the pressure upon the ring, that the perform
auce did not commence until some time after
the appointed time. In order to relieve the
canvass as far as possible, the manager
authorized his representatives to state that
those who wished, could have their tickets
returned to them, which would be good this
afternoon or evening. About nine hundred
availed themselves Of the opportunity, but
the great mass seemed disposed to take their
chance. As II is probable that the attend
ance this evening viii be very largo, We ad-
wise families to 70 in the afternoon. Bsa
Everybody seems bound to see all that is
to be seen in this great establishment, and
those Who take time by the foreIock and give
up part Of the afternoon to the great show,
will find It to their advantage. OF the men,
agerie, IL enough to say that the claims of.
this great concern have been before the pub
lic for several weeks; that it is in all respects
wnet II neS Oeen represented to be. The col
lection of animals and birds Is unusually
good the Alaska Sea Lion is q veritable
wonder. He can be seen at San Francisco in
all his glory, but everybody has not the time
to 60 so far, or to the further Alaska to see
the Sea; Lion Of tho Pacific, and 20 the pro-
prietors have bought them one, and show the
public bow be conducts himself in his native
haunts.
s'But. the most interesting feature of this
Great Show, and that excited the curiosity of
the vast throng, was that marvel Of mechani-
cal ingenuity, Tn WoSpERrUL STEAM NAN
The most intricate and marvellous piece of
mechanism in the world.
sThe aGenic department is simply complete,
and mediocre talent is conscientiously barred
out Of the rings.
This great show has fully met its obliga-
tions TO the public and crowded pavilions
will be the order this Afternoon and evening"
