I1lB slCM l1lk new Shows
at every performance the huge cam
vas tents of John Robinson S great
Three Ring Circuses were literally
damned, packed and crammed with
happy, laughing people, in many
instances the employees of large bus
mess houses being sent by their en-
ployers, who purchased the tickets
in bodies of hundred and more.
John Robinson desires the outside
world to know that just as his mann
moth show is exhibited In the largest
cities, so it will be exhibited in the
smallest villages and towns, and
that every one of his Ten Big Shows
united and combined, and every
single member of his gigantic troupe
and every one ofhis great new novel
tiles, and marvellous features will
surely accompany him over his en-
tire route into the smallest of towns
There are tenthonsand new attract
ions to amuse and instruct the
young and old, previous to the COM
mencement of the circus perform
ances proper. The principal. inter
est seems to center around the huge
herd of elephants ranging in size
from the colossal EMPIRES" to the
little twin baby elephants, the es-.
.pecial delight of the chill lren. Thu
circus performance is tile best by a
long ways that ever visited Chicago,
and is of such a pleasing and varied
character, as to make it difficult to
single out any act of particular mer-
it, for they are all of the very best.
For two and three-fourths hours
there is a succession of acts of dar-
ing Workmanship, tumbling, per-
formance of trained animals, wire
walking, acrobatic feats, bicycle
riding and host of other novelties.
The laughable antics and tricks of
the Twin Baby Elephant never fail
to create the greatest fun and amuse
ment. The marvellous troupe of
gymnastics bicyclers, the startling
fight of the human cannon ball
through the air, the wonderful and.
thrilling life leap of the winged lady
of the clouds, the terrific fight of a
human being from the great Roman
Catapult, driven through space at
tho terrible momentum of three
miles in one minute, make up a con-
stellation of starting and astonishing
wonders and amazing novelties new
er before seen on earth Chicago.
