love- Great LONDON.

In view of the fact that Howe's Cir
Gus and Menagerie, will exhibit here
the 2Sth inst, the appended article will
prove of interest to the public. 1t is
from the Courier-Journal of the ID inst,
and establishes beyond question the
high character of the Great London,
and that it is what it claims to be, first
class.
'For the second time this season
HOwe's' Great London Hippodrome, cir
Gus and Menagerie has appeared in
Louisville. The show travels by rail-
road only, and it requires forty cars,
| built expressly for its use, to convey its
| people, features and effects. At the
Ohio Falls Car Works, in geffersOnville,
the gauge of the trucks has been chang
ed to that of the Southern roads so that
it can now proceed to the Gulf without
| difficulty. The exhibition yesterday
afternoon and on the Kean property,
sixth and Kentucky streets, was largely
attended, despite the oppressive temper
allure. In the morning the street parade
| took place, which attracted dense mas
ses all along the route, The pageant
was fine. There were six golden char
| lots, each of which was Respondent
with mirrors, grOtesque carvings, clas-
sic and allegOrical Representations in
elaborate stucco. The horses forming
the cavalcade were in excellent eOndi-
/ ton, all showing that their grooming
and stabling had received careful attep-
ton. The glittering and varied cos
tunes of the riders, and the cleaning
caparisOns of the horses, shOne in the
/ sunlight with fine effect. The cages
are highly orpAmented, and altogether
the procession as it wendell its slow way
\ through the crowded thOrOughfares,
stretching along nearly dozen squares,
was a sight to be remembered. The
/ performances were superior in every
/ respect to the usual run. The pro-
| gTamme embraced variety of arenic
/ features, including vaulting, trapeze
acts, bareback riding, the remarkable
movements and feats executed by the
| five elephants, the trained dogs, and the
Indian scenes, all of which evoked the
hearty applause of the spectators. In
the menagerie department. were ranged
the cages anu stalls of some of the rar-
est and strangest creatures of the ami
NAL kingdom. Among them were the
African Gland, Bless Book; the potO-
quaine, or sable antelope; the zebu ich-
neumon, the black tiger of India, the
only one in America, and the South
American tapir. In addition to these
were five elephants, camels, zebras, kan
garOos, an aviary of beautiful tropical
/ birds, nine hyenas, five Bengal tigers,
| leOpards, lions from Asia and Africa,
drove of mustangs, and, in fine, repreS-
entatiyes of almost every department Of
natural history. One Interesting feat
ure was the litter of tiger Whelps, three
| in number and only four months old.
/ All in all, HOwes' "Great London" is
an unequivocal success. The reserved
seats are an appreciated accommodation.
/ The police regulations are strict and
/ vigorously enforced"
We could ill our pages entirely with
flattering notices, and, it seems to us,
almost fabulous statements, concerning
this great ombination, but our space
compels us to desist. For particulars
we refer everybody to the mammoth
advertisement to which we have surren-
dered so much space, and for which we
think our readers win hardly require an
/ apology.
