GRESS OF LINING WoNpERS.-At
Mineral Point, June It'll. Amusement
seekers will be glad to learn that the
proprietors Of this famous establish
ment have announced their intention
of exhibiting here. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say much about an enter
tainmcnt which for variety and
magnilcence has no equal ON the con-
tinent. On this occasion, however
the attraction will he enhanced by Il
very important addition. Mr. Cole
with his accustomed enterprise, has
secured for exhibition two Of the
greatest curiosities of the day 1.-THE
largest man and woman i'll the world
Mr.. Bates, the male giant, is eight
feet high, lacking = inch, and his bet
ter half, who appears along with him,
boasts exactly the same number OF
feet of womanhood. The couple have
appeared before her Majesty, who was
so much impressed by their appear
ance that she presented his giantship
with 4 magnificent gold watch, valued
at 81 ,000. This gift, it need hardly be
said, is cherished by Mr.. Bates as his
most valuable possession.
Half Il ton represents the joint
weight Of this remarkable pair. But
the giants, wonderful us they are and
well able to exhibit as separate
show, are only IN item Of the enter
tainment. There is the Circus, for
which the services of the most daring
bare backed riders and funniest clowns
in America have been secured. There
is the man who catches the cannon
ball shot from Il cannon. The per-
forming Stations. The man of Fire,
who stands in a furnace the heat of
which bakes fowl by his side. The
performing Alligaaors, etc. There is
the Menagerie, comprising thirty-live
cages. where most magnificent speci-
mems OF the Wild animals from all
parts of the world are seen. And
there is the Museum, filled with Gu
riosities and monstrosities of every
description. The whole establishment,
\ which, it may be mentioned, always
travels by rail, is conducted on 81
gantic scale; no less than three hun.
bred horses and some two hundred
men being engaged From first to
last the performance is pure, healthy
and entertaining.
