All of the actors were first class. Mr.
l)e\'erdie as contortionest and gymnast
could not have been surpassed, while the
acting of S’epl\ens anil Fallon the won
derful acrobats was superb. Mr Charles
liliss, and the others, all did their pnrt.Q
eliciting great applause.

Roberaon’s Great Show.
orn Louisville Courier-Journal^ Sep
tember 29, 1875. j
'he Big show of Old Reliable Johu
liusou came into Louisville, gave a
> days exhibition and departed lor the
uli." The vast, concern was heralded
an almost unlimited amount oi adver-
ug, and no promise of the veteran mun-
r was unfulfilled. Tue menagerie was
■d with the larest and most expensive
d animals, while the ilteuic tii-play ryas
ierb iu eveiy detail. During both'days
audience was very large amt embraced
wealth, fashion, and beauty ot our
,\ More brilliaut audiences we have
jly seen under canvas, aud tlie patron-,
the great show received here was well
urved. From here the entire coinpa-
goes into the South anil we commend
0 the people there as still worthy of
confidence its reputation in past years
inspired. But few shows have ever
ited Louisville that have given so much
isfaction iu every respect. It is a striet-
noral circus iu the sense that the eu-
tainmeut observed the bounds of the
ctcst propriety. The show is cert sia-
me ot the best in the world, and only
ids to be seen to be admired. The well-
jwn reputation of the manager was
ticieut iu Louisville to attract unusually
;e audiences beneath the pavilion,
osewho witnessed the areuic perform-
•es, which were just wdiat the adver*
'meiits of tlie concern prom bed, seemed
•cediugly well pleased, and remarked
morons high compliments of their geu-
1 excellency. Tlie gymnastic feats of
jitney and Davenport, acrobats and
puze performers, were truly wonderful,
t less so were those of pretty iiiss Jen-
t Tournour, wliq held her admirers al-
ist spell bound while she swung to aud
i high above their heads iu a trapeze,
.anced simply by her feet. Another
ly performer was Miss Rosaline Stick-
v, whose graceful equestrian acts anu
ps were very generally admired. Those
Bob Stickuey, too, as well as his ro-
irkahle jump's, tumbles and double
uersaults over two dozen horses, elicit:
tlie applause of everybody within the
r tent. Stickney is a remarkable leaper
ii very likely as good as there is in the
>rld. A circus without a cloten is like
vatnan without a tongue, aud old J pun
ibinson would be in a bad straight m-
ed were he to lose “Lowlow, whose
kes and jeers never do other than amuse
5 auditors. Miss Emma Lake, the
nestrienue, Elniuo Eddie, the tight rope
rformer, Campbell, the tumbler, Mo
an, the hall tosser, and all the other per-
rmers, like the entire show, are lull ot
arkling peculiarities and excellencies
.■11 worth seeing.
The wardrobe of the establishment is
ry elegant. It is a rule with Air. Rob
son to require liis performers to change
eir costumes for new ones at least once
a quarter, and the result is that they
ways appear in glittering array. 1 he
chestral music is another enjoyable teat-
■ n There are no wheezy reeds or hoarse
bones or soul-harrowing cornets. Ev-
nstrument is in good order and the
ers artists.
