Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-09

Arabian horse Embongpong, and killed
they will get good view of the calamity.
We cordially invite the press to come
early and converse with the woman who has
the iron jaw. Her Tantivy stage name
will be Mile. Leblanc Ely Blanc. She
will hold conversaziones with the press
from a. m.-the forenoon, to p m,-the
afternoon. During the street pageant she
Will ride an open chariot with large, wilt
ed boa constructor in her bosom. The bedaz-
zled and bedizened street pageant will sue
cessfully knock large rectangular chunks
from the fame of other shows. We do not
commit the folly of running three or four
rings and case-knife-swallowing contest
at the same time. One good performance
on all the time, is good enough Tor ordinary
people and we cannot pander to the oblique
tastes of a cross-eyed minority.
PLEASE RECIPRoCATE
The press will please make copious notes
and call the attention of the people to our
refined show. Nothing out of character
will be permitted, and even our wild beasts
will have to conform to the rules of etiquette
or quit and go home.
We shall introduce the only living zebra
that has ever had his tail banged in captiv-
ity. The widow of the man who did it will
travel with us.
There will be choice minstrel perform
ance in the ring, after the regular perform
ance is over, and highly cultivated young
men will step on the audience and refer to
it occasionally, standing in front of the
falls of, in order to obscure the vision and
hide the embarrassment of the management.
The highly accomplished and almost
hnmQn Of hn ovo
Elsmere, will be feature OF the afternoon
and evening performances. She will be ac-
companied by her most recent colt, Mr..
Barnes of New York. They will be driven
bv the well-known bare back savant,
Sylvester VanAmburger, Jr., of Little
Fifth avenue. He will drive the mare and
trust to the colts better nature to follow.
Is it asking too much for me to request
the public to wait TOR our show? Will the
press aid me in calling the attention of our
best people to this wonderful aggregation of
artistic merit, combined with rich, navy
blue blood which courses through the veins
of every performer and every employe?
Even our stake drivers and canvas men are
thoroughly refined, and come from good old,
decrepit families.
DENNIS, THE LION tanner.
WefWlll also nave llOu IdueI WHOSE
stage name will be-Dennis. He will quell
the naughty spirit of the lion and lioness by
his wonderful will power and matchless
clothes. We also have bright young un-
derstudy who will succeed to the place in
case Dennis should fall up in his lines
while inserting his hand in the lions mouth.
We have not done all of our printing yet,
but it will be highly ornamental and yet in
perfect taste. Mr.. McAllister and I will
unite our efforts to refine and elevate the
circus, as I say, and make it take high rank
with the best people. To do this we are
straining every nerve and sparing no ex-
pense. Wewill ransack the gilded palaces
of New York for contortionists. We will
search the homes of wealth and luxury for
bare back riders. We will enter the abode
of magnifcence in search of candy butchers
and canvas men. We will climb the tallest
family tree on Manhattan Island in search
of curiosities for our menagerie.
Let me say again that the press will be
looked out for. Come both afternoon and
evening. Come early and stay till after
the minstrel performance. Visit the side
show, as you will have ample time before
the large show commences. Test your
lungs by means of the lung tester. Come
and listen to the zephyrs soughing through
the whiskers of the bearded lady. Come,
gentlemen of the press, and give yourselves
up to the keenest enjoyment.
We hope to do some Of the seaside resorts
with our circus, and will show, also. in the
Adirondacks several times, if we meet with
no mishaps.
The animals will be fed morning and
