Coup OuGdOcS Himself.

Great as the previous show enter
prises of the famous Snowman, w.
G. Coup, have been, he has out
stripped them all and taken IA long
stride in advance of himself and all
contemporaries by his magnificent
and immense organization for the
season of 1882. 1t win exhibit in
CIarksville, on Tuesday, April IS,
giving two performances, at 2 and
NJ, when all the attractions of
his vast and varied establishment
will be seen.
MIR Coup has secured many new
features and extraordinary attrac-
tionS in addition TO three full lead
ing companies, the members of
which will appear in their various
specialtieS in an immense ring, it
having been found that three rings
distract the attention of the specta-
tors and that their enjoyment is
lpsSened in consequence. In these
companies will be found the most
distinguished and beautiful lady
riders, the best male bareback III
darS. six clowns. including the ;ee-
thelic clown Oscar" and a whole
army of general performers, who
will contribute to make lively pro-
gramme
A grand menagerie of most of the
animals known to naturalists is
made a special feature, as is II large
Automatic Museum, with hundreds
of moving figures, musical chariOts,
etc, moved by six steam engines.
Probably the most interesting
novelty will be found in the Grand
Historical TableauX, representing
GuitCau, in which there are said to
be no less than five hundred figures,
appropriately cOstuIned with correct
likeness of all the persOns connected
with the trial, such as Judge Cox,
Judge Porter, the jury, counsel,
etc.
The figure of Guiteau will be
dressed in the Identical suit of
clothes worn by him at the time of
the assassination, and the clothes in
which he was tried will also be eX-
hibited. The TableauX are six in
number, and represent all the i'm
pOrtant incidents from the asSasSina-
ton to the death sentence.
Mr.. Coup has also secured the
latest London and Paris sensation
in engaging Be BE the beautiful
young girl, who performs the re-
markablc feat of leaping to the top
of the pavilion and iiuttering down
like Il bird. She also, it is said,
actually flies the entire length Of the
pavilion, alighting here and there,
like butterfly, upon flower. Mr..
Coup also brings the main features
Of his wonderful New York Aquar-
ium and Okenawaka's Indian
Show, with Il whole tribe of braves,
including wives, papoOSes, horses,
cooking utensils and native wig
VAIN tents, Prof. Amos Band of
Original Jubilee Singers. Ccte-
WayO'S AmaZulu Princessand Suite,
Palestine Arabs, japanese, Exqui-
mauX, and Egyptian Mamelukes.
To advertise this immense estab-
lishment three palace advertising
cars, and n hundred agents and bill
posters are required. TO transport
the show, three massive trains of
cars. Besides the bands of music i'm
the great procession, there are also
four colossal steam power musical
chariOtS twenty-five feet high, and
whose laundering Symphonies are
equal to the combined melodies of
twelve hundred musicians. Surely
such vast exhibition was never
before known, as it utterly dwarfs
into the realms of midgetdom the
feeble attempts of all opposition
shows. There will be Il free balloon
race every day with trapcze per-
iormanceS by Madame st. Clair and
Sig. MOntiilOri in mid-air.
