OLD JOHN ROBlNsON's SHOW.
Next October 18th is the Day Of the
Great Show Here-Big Crowds Are
Comin1

coming.
1t is coming The great show known
| as John Robinson's Great Worlds Ex-
| position will exhibit in Henderson Mon
| day, October 18th. 1t is the first visit
of the show to this section in several
| years.
The John Robinson show has a world
| wide reputation. 1t has a reputation
for reliability that far excels any other
| show. 1t now enjoys the merited repu-
| tation of being the very best show on
| earth.
For 67 years this mammoth and Won
| derful attraction has been under the
direct management OF father and son,
| whose motto it has ever been, never to
| advertise any attraction that they could
| not positively give. The show is given
| on its merits alone and never once has
failed to draw and delight the multitude.
The John Robinson show has increased
| in size steadily until it is now an indis-
putable fact that it is the most extensive
| in existence.
There is a vast army of men employed
| in the various departments, travelling
| on its own train, which embraces sixty
| four cars.
The show embraces clrcuseS, menagerie,
museum, aquarium, hippodrome and
| pantomime, added to which, for this
year, is the wonderful spectacle of Solo
mon and the Queen of Sheba. Over one
| hundred artists are connected with the
arenic department. Miss. Emma Lake,
the acknowledged queen of the menage,
and Miss Josie DeMott, the worlds most
fearless and dashing equestrienne, who,
it will be remembered, so electrified the
| people of England by their remarkable
| hOrsemanship feats, are connected with
this show and will astonish the thousands
on October 10Th. The wonderful races
which take place on the vast hippodrome
track is one of the features of the shows
These races embrace two and four
horse chariot races, standing races,
| ludicrcus sack, wheelbarrow and obstacle
races, camel and elephant races, donkey
races in sulky, monkey races, children,
hurdle, poney and donkey races and foot
races. There are large number of
| jockeys, male and female, also boy and
| girl riders, and in these races over 60
thoroughbred horses and miniature
Shetland ponies.
| Many thousands of visitors will be
here to see the show and they will surely
be we'll repaid, if the past record of this
great combination is any guarantee OF
| its present excellence

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr.

1t is with genuine pleasure that the
GOLD LEAF announces to the public a
second visit to our town of that cele-
brated young divine and lecturer, Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., Of New York.
His masterful lecture on * Backbone, -
delivered in Burwen Hall last fall, is
still fresh in the minds of those whose
good fortune it was to hear him on
that occasion, and they have wished
for an opportunity to listen to his elo-
quence and reflect upon the beauties of
his thoughts, the elegance of his die
ton, his wonderful descriptive powers,
logical reasoning and practical philos-
ophy again. This opportunity will be
afforded them Friday evening, October
2nd, when Mr.. Dixon will deliver his
famous lecture on = Fools That the
subject will be treated with the skill
of master goes without saying; and
that this talented gentleman will meet
with the cordial reception and merited
recognition which he deserves, does
not admit of doubt. Our citizens have
demonstrated their appreciation of the
purely intellectual as we'll as the
amusement part of life, and when a
lecturer comes along who has anything
good to present they readily accept it.
So we bespeak for Mr. Dixon full

Jim, the Westerner," to be Present
ed at Burwell Hall Next Wednes-
day Evening.

As announced by advertisement in
another column, the next attraction at
Burwell Hall will be A. NJ. DeLis-
ser's production of Edward E. Roses
society drama, Jim, the Westerner,'
Wednesday evening, September, 30th.
OF the the play and players the Brook
lyn. n. Y, Daily Eagle, of the first
instant, says:
"Jim, the Westerner," made the
acquaintance of Brooklyn audience
last evening. 1t Was at Holmes Star
theatre, and the house was almost
packed. There were no vacant seats
in either Of the galleries at any rate.
Everybody seemed glad to see the new
conner, and he was probably highly
pleased with himself over the recep-
ton. ''Jim, the Westerner," is a
product of Western talent, but the
scene is laid entirely in New York.
Many people, no doubt, expected pyro-
technical dramatics, judging from the
f1amboyant title which is suggestive of
red shirts and pistols but they were
gratefully disappointed. The play is
a very interesting one, not unlike the
Henrietta" in style. The comedy
portions of it scintillate with the gen
uine wit of the race track and base ball
field of to-day, and the scenes are
neither too long nor too numerous to
offend or bore any reasonable theatre
goer. Jim, the Westerner U. S. Gibbs
is an Arizona cowboy come to New
York to spend his money. He was
robbed by his partner in the mining
camp some eight years before, and, in
cidentally, he is on the lookout for him
in the metropolis. He finds him in the
person of Andrew Burk Uames WalD,
who is endeavoring to rob Matthew
Lawten (W. 7. Hayes), the father OF
Marie Lawton Miss Pauline Willard),
whose hand Jim wants. To Illustrate
Burk's scheme and to avenge himself
is Jim's aim. He succeeds to his heart s
content and to the satisfaction of the
audience. A scene in which a stock.
reporting machine, telephone and
Wall street operators are concerned

citing one, and after it the whole com.
