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.
