Our advertising columns to-day promise
our readers something unusually and desir-
ably moved and, varied in the way OF amuse-
m.nt, in Middletown, on Tuesday, April 9th,
IN visit from A. B. Roihchild's Royal Vic
toria Menagerie, Aso-African Caravan and
Continental Circus, which comes all the way
across the stormy Atlantic to test the liberal
ity and appreciation Of the American public,
previous to locating itself at Philadelphia, as
one Of the features of the forthcoming Cen
teRnial Celebration
We bespeak for our foreign visitor golden
welcome, not only OH account of respect for
the nerve involved in making such singular
and risky venture and the undcubted mag
nitude, elegance and propriety Of the exhibi-
ton, but because rare good faith is demon
strated in the emphatic discarding of the
museum trash, largely employed by other
shows to swindle the people and give pre-
posterously false idea Of their size and attrac-
tions3 Our new candidate for arenic recog-
milton sticks bravely and squarely in its an
nouncement text to the legitimate features Of
tent entertainments; the ones we really 60 to
see and enjoy, and beyond which lie the
realms of fraud.
We need not specify the special animals and
noted artists combined TO at once instruct and
delight, but the feature Of the gigantic per-
forming rhinoceros, Himalaya," is one at
once SO unusual and extraordinary as to de-
serve special prominence IS the bills say, he
is IA whole show alone" and will add
greatly to the general desire perceptible to
seek the great double pavilions Of the distin-
guished nomadie stranger. -
