The Great VanAmburgh Show

No amusement organization on Tho
continent can produce better RECORD
than tins institution, and no better en-
tertainment has ever been presented I'm
der canvass than this show gave us las
night. The menageric department con
tains many rare specimens never before
on exhibition, and is school of instruc
ton for old and young alike. Thu
arenic perform ancc under the immcdi
ate direction of Mr.. Den Stone are pres
ented in rapid succession. Music, mlrth
novelty, instruction, acrobatic, gymnas
tic and equestrian tcats are so artistical-
ly combined in one grand constellation
that the audience never tire of the
changing Kaleidoscope. No promise
ever made to the public has ever been
broken and the great show for the sea
son OF 1888 is the most complete or
ganization on the road this season. One
theme deserves special mcntion-tht
company never divide their entertain
ments, but use the same number OF ar
fists IN one ring which some other com
panies use in three, and it is impossible
to look at three rings ut the same umt
