ADJUSTMENTS.


The fifth performance of this great
drama, which took place at the Theater last
night, was witnessed by another crowded
house, every seat being occupied. The num-
Der of ladies present was an Improvement on
the previous audiences, but the in
terest was not any closer as the per-
they could not well be. The verdict as to the
merits of play and players was, as on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, one of hearty
approval. The Furbish people have deePened
the respect and esteem in which they have
been hitherto held, and will long be
remembered in connection with the
The Too Orphans. This being fashion
able night, there will, OF course, be literal
Jam. AT dark last night nearly every seat
was engaged for this evenings performance,
but Manager Brooks has arranged so that the
orchestra shall occupy position on the stage,
and their space will be filed with comfortable
chairs; he has also provided that q
great number of extra chairs will be fitted
up in the aisles and orchestra, so that every
body will be provided with comfortable seats.
The I1Oo Orph6nS will appear at the matinee
to- morrow afternoon, and for the last time to-
morrow night, so that those who have not
witnessed the Kurdish combination in this
great production have but three more oppor-
tun1J1eS left them.
John RObinsOn's Circus.
Yesterday and last night thousands Of
persons, old and young, attended John Robin
sons great circus and menagerie. Last night
there was very large attendance and most
brilliant performance. John Iowlow, the
inimitable clown, seemed to be Inspired with
unusual mirth and Jollity, and kept the peo-
pie almost continually laughing. such an en-
tertainment as that OF last night is not often
witnessed in a circus The attendance was
composed of the representatives of the elite
of the city, a compliment all the more no.
ticeable when it is known that the Memphis
Theater, with the TtOo Orphans, was also
crowded. Old John Robinson, in accordance
with his time-honored custom, invited the
orphans of Memphis TO attend his big show.
Such liberality will be appreciated and CRATE
since have learned to esteem John Robinson
for his many excellent qualities, and to value
the worth Of the magnificent shows which he
offers the public. The present show is superior
to any he has yet given, and in its every
feature will not fail to excite interest and
pleasure. The equestrians are unsurpassed III
grace, deXterity and precision. The vaulters
are of the very best to be seen anywhere, while
the trained dog. tght-rope performance,
trapeze acting and acrobatism are brilliant,
graceful and fearless. Miss Jennie Tournour
in her equestrianship and featS Of balancing
elected the admiration of every spectator
Miss emma Lakes trsined horse Alexis was
not less interesting than her riding. Every
feature of this show is of such an order as to
satisfy public expectation. 1t is second to
none IN Ine % sn vs lat fbs sdntS the
a show which'does credit to the genius OF John
Robinson, and gives him additional claim to
the reputation accorded him OF being the best
and most popular and clever Snowman in
America. His menagerte is perhaps The most
varied in its character and excellent in its
CO1l6CIlOQS InaI memphis mas ever seen.
The old as well as the young, the scholar and
the student, will each find in Old John Rob-
inson's menagerie instructive pleas
ure and profitable interest. Old John
Robinson goes from here to fernando, Sar-
dis, Grenada, and elsewhere in Mississippi.
The citizens Of our sister State will be afforded
an entertainment of unbounded merit, and
should not fail to give old John a call. He
took his departure this morning vtd the Mis-
where he exhibits to-day and tonight. The
children of the Church Home Or
phan asylum yesterday attended the
ass NaneT Scott te and Mra w. s. Pickett
OF the asylum. Owing to the
disagreeable weather the attendance yester
ceeds amounted TO only eighty-one dollars,
Old John Robinson with characteristic liber-
atty donated one hundred dollars to the or
phans. Moreover, he will donate the amount
of the taxes If the same be allowed by the city
council. Again do we commend Old John
Robinson aud his show TO the people. 1t is
excellent in every respect, and during its
three days performance in Memphis has af-
forded unbounded joy, pleasure and mirth to
Of people.
