Mons. Comstock,
the champion sword-swallower, will also exhibit his wonderful power of swallowing Five Swords, measuring from 14 to 22 inches in length. It is not so much the beauty of this feat that makes it so remarkable, as its seeming impossibility.

Master Bobby,
the banjo soloist and burlesque.

Comic acrobat,
by Miss Gerty and Mons. Comstock.
Madam Delia,
the wonderful and original snake-tamer, with her Pets, measuring 12 feet in length and weighing 50 lbs. A pet Rattlesnake, 15 years of age, captured on the Prairies of Illinois, oldest on exhibition.

ant-eaters, African monkeys, &c.

Cosmoramic Stereoscopic Scenes II the United States and other Countries, including a view of the Funeral Procession of President Taylor, which is alone worth the price of admission. Exhibition every half-hour, during day and evening.

Secure your seats early!

Particular care will be taken and nothing shall occur to offend the most fastidious.
