2. r. Barnum's Worlds of Wonder
at Dubuque

If there is any limit to Mr.. Barnum's ambi-
ton and enterprise, he does not yet seem to
have reached it, far as he has already distanced
many, and triumphed over all imitators and
competitors. His restless energy grows young
er with advancing years, and his scent for
curiosites keener. He is constantly adding
to his vast moving collection of museum, mes
chanical, automatic and animal marvels, living
phenomena and arenic novelties, until this
year we are told his representative exhibition
has expanded a hundred per cent, requires
three monster special trains of his own steel
cars to transport it, and presents in its vast
separate museum, menagerie and circus can
vass, multitude of enormously expensive
foreign features, thousands of the rarest cur
iosities, animals, BIRDS reptiles, and amphibious
marine monsters, and 1000 per day assem-
blage of circus sensations. No one but Barr
mum could give so much show for so small a
price, and he does even more, by Throwing
in" as the auctioneers say, most costly and
novel free show besides, in the shape of a
splendid and varied street parade, presenting
huge elephants in harness, drawing titanic
chariots; great open lairs and crystal dens of
lions and serpents, performing in public /;
jeweled and hammered army moving in maJes
tic splendor, and numerous other illustr atoms
of pomp and power. Such notable new at
fractions must attract everybody to Dubuque
on Wednesday, September 9th, so go early
in order to get a good place to see.
