FRANK A. ROBBINS SHOW AT BLOOMSBURY
THURSDAY, SEPT. 0, 1885,

THURSDAY, SEPT. D, 1856.
Human ingenuity has we'll nigh exhaus-
ted itself in preparing feats of amusement
for the multitude, but il has remained for
Frank A. Robbins to cap the climax Of cir
Gus enterprise with the monster exhibition
he has organized for the season of 1886.
MIR. Robbins never deceives the public; his
promises go at par every time, and are al
ways duly honored. What he promises on
paper will be found beneath the canvas.
1t is veritablc wonder world everything
is novel and interesting. Every act is
startling in its originality; every curiosity
interesting from its rarity; every animal
challenges admiration for its beauty and
perfect keeping, and every portion of the
vast concern excites the warmest COM
mcndation by its cleanliness, neatness, per.
feet order and system, and the entire alb
sence of all Objectionable features. In
the rings and on the elevated stage con-
tinual of interesting acts are presented,
among them being leapnG, tumbling, bare
back riding, ceiling walking by the human
fly, aerial bicycling, roller skating, trapeze
performances, acrobatic evolutions, per-
forming Arabs, Turks, Moors, Egyptian
and Mexican exhibitions, besides dozens of
other festivities of more than ordinary
merit In the menagerie, with its many
cages of wild animals, aye also to be seen
numerous trained animals in the exhibition
arena, including the wonderful tanned Ba.
by Clown Elephant who does more clever
things than was ever performed by an ele-
phant before. The most novel and inter-
esting feature of the exhibition is the Ele
phant Band, composed of seven of the
huge beasts who have been taught to per-
form on all sorts of different musical in
struments, with the precision of skilled
musicians. This great novelty cost Mr..
Robbins $125,OOO and can be seen in no
other show

Sir. Henry Thompson thinks that more
than half the diseases which embitter, life
are due to errors in diet, and that the mis-
chief done in the form of shortened life is
greater from indiscriminate eating than
from the use of alcoholic drink. All over
supply of nutrition which must go some-
where produces liver disease, gout, rhou-
matsm and various other disorders. To
eat too much is a blunder, and to wash
down nutritious food with nutritious drink
is one of the greatest dietary indiscretions
that can be INDUCED in, especially for per.
sons OF sedentary habits.
