 GRAND CONSOLIDATION FOR 1851.
 This monstrous institution, the most exten-
 slve combined circus and menagerie now
 travelling in this country, gives two perform
 ances daily; the first at p. m., and the
 second at D. m The doors will open one
 hour before the performance commences. As menagerie it contains more, and rarer ani
 mals than any like institution. Large and attractive as it always has been, the menage- rie has been lar 5ely increased in the number of rare wild aniinals-many of which will be on exhibition for tlio first time in this coun, try In addition to the 26 cages of wild
 beasts, birds and reptiles, there will be
 found the great and only living Nondescribt from the river Nile, believed to be the only specimen ever captured alive; the monster living Behemoth of Holy Writ; the largest Elephant living; the North Pole Walrus; Sea Lions from Alaska; the Ant Eating Bear and an African Giraffe. Tue whole con- prising collection of curiosities unequalled by any like institution in Europe or America, the whole numbering over 500.
 In Frost's Roman Circus department will be intropuced the most extensive troupe of equestrans, gymnasts, acfobats and athletes that has ever entered the magic ring of cir GUS at one time; prominent among those now with this gigantic show IS the world. d.renown ed bare back trick equestrian, Sig Sebastian who, without any exception, is the peer of all bareback riders in the world. Another, and of almost equal fame, will be found in the daring and intrepid William Showles; and third, but not last or less attractive than either of the other two, is the magnificent, beautiful and accomplished Mile Viola, ac- knowledged by the profession to be not only the handsonest lady ip the arena, but the equal, as an artste, of the most celebrated in her specially equestrian acts.
 The manager of this great consolidated show has declared in all of his advertisements that this is the 'crowning glory of his 36 years of managerial experience" That the great show will be literally patronized, is be- yond doubt It is immense in all it's de- partments. Remember the show will exhib. it in Falls Village next Thursday.
