FUN AHEAD.—THE CIRCUS IS COMING. —
Our citizens may all prepare for a grand holi
day on Tuesday next, that being the date
advertised for the exhibition by Batcheller &
Doris' Great Inter-Ocean Largest Sbow 011
Earth, at this place. This gigantic consolida
tion of 12 colossal shows in one havbeen ab
sorbing by purchase for the past three years
all the smallcrshows in rhe country, and have
increased in size so suddenly that the public
liave scarcely ascertained the fact which is
undisputed that the Batcheller A Doris Com
bination now own, control and exhibit more
show property than any other similar organ
ization in the country. They make a speci
alty of advertising and exhibiting exclusive
fcutu es and novelties which cannot be
duplicated or seen in any other show, and in
addition to an immense menagerie and muse
um and circus, such as possessed by none of
the other shows, call attention to some
features which have never before been ex
hibited, such as the seven-ton, two-horned,
black, hairy rhinoceros, tiie only one ever
imported to America; not the only rhinoceros
remember, hut the only one possessing two
horns and covered with a coat of black hair
two and a half inches long; also, the wondei
ful monster of the deep, a genuine Egyptian
Bovalapus, which they positively assert is the
only one ever in captivity and recently im
ported for them. This rare specimen was
captured in the Mediterranean, ofl' the coast
of Alexandria, Egypt. These two rare
zoological specimens have already attracted
the attention of scientists, and will probably
only be exhibited with a traveling menagerie
the present season. Almost fabulous sums
have been offered Messrs. Batcheller & Doris
to secure them for one of the leading zoologi
cal gardens. Another exclusive feature pos
sessed by 110 other show is Zazel, better
known as the human cannon hall, who is fired
from a massive mortar seventy-five feet into
mid-air, and afterwards walks a wire the size
of a knitting needle, stretched across the t p
of the canvas. Her performances are pro
nounced by all who liaye seen them as the
most exciting and miraculous ever witnessed.
In addition to these novelties, they have the
only group of native Zulus ever in this coun
try, a genuine band of savage Sioux warriors,
direct from Sitting Bull's band, Prince Satsu
ma's Royal Japanese Troupe of athletes, jug
glers and necromancers, Morris' hand of
Georgia jubilee singers, Mile. Sara, the re
nowned French bareback equestrian, (first
appearance in America), Romeo Sebastian,
champion bareback rider of America, W. J.
Morgan, the fearless hurdle rider, the cele
brated Siegrist children in gymnastic exer
cises, and a grand double circus company, all
excelling in their various specialties. The
grandest street demonstration free to all,ever
witnessed in this country will be made at 9
o'clock 011 morning of exhibition, and will
actually eclipse anything of the kind you ever
saw. Excursion trains will he run 011 all
railroad lines at greatly reduced rates of fare,
to bring in the multitudes.
