Accompanied by the contracting adj
vance agent, Mr.. Christiana, Mr.. Emilio
Levy, the energetic and enterprising gem
tlemon TO whom is due the praise for thi4
promised rare treat, visited Jackson Mound

was 10 study the situation down
there, learn lis capacity and
instruct for improving changes ut tho
premises. These changes will at once Id
undertaken and carried through by the as-
ISOLATION owning the park, which will
render II attractive and otherwise favorable
for the events The pavilion has seating
capacity Of 1900, while the inclosed
grounds will contain upward OF 10000.
There Is ample room on the stage for the
entire band and chorus, and with changes
determined upon will show both TO the
highest advantage. In this pavilion COM
Portable chairs will he placed and reserved
at the moderate price Of 81. General adj
mission has been fixed at 30 cents.
The.bringing OF this superb combination
10 Memphis under circumstances and ar
angements favorable for both rich and
poor, Is another fact emitting Mr.. Levy 10
the warmcst encomiums from an appre-
ciatiye public. While the attraction Is, in
point oil merit, deserving Of increased adj
mission fees, yet the manager has only the
broad desire 10 entertain and instruct the
masses, and fixed the scale at n popular
standard. lie has not laid himself liable
TO the charge Of grasping, and placing the
performances within the reach OF only
those rolling in wealth Then, too, the
arrangements for Transporting home peo-
pie and visitors 10 the park are entirely
adequate, street cars, railway trains and
steamboats, being enlisted. All the rail-
ways have also pledged excursion rates
from points along their line distant enough
10 accommodate all who may desire 10 at
tend. Thus has the success OF Mr.. Leyy's
enterprise been fully assured even at this
early date, contingent alone upon proyi-
DENTAL interference, against which no
provision can be made.
Mr.. Gilmore's fame throughout The
country II already established, through
numerous brilliant achievements In the
past many Of which have been delighted
In by Memphians No wonder, then, that
