This Grand Entertainment, gives the greatest satisfaction to its patrons of any amusement
that has been placed before any audience, and has been acknowledged by the Press, the Public
and the Profession, to be, in every respect, superior to any and all other performances extant.
19,000 PERSONS
Visited this Circus the first week in San Francisco, and the general verdict of all was,
the Best Circus we have ever seen. The performers are all first-class, amongst whom is the great

TEN IN NUMBERS,
Who have been for a number of years,
Acknowledged the Best Artists in the Profession.
THE HORSES AND PONIES

Their training being perfect, they have no superiors, no equals.
All Patrons may depend on witnessing
THE BIGGEST SHOW ON EARTH.
WE PERFORM
ALL WE ADVERTISE!
The programme of each performance being faithfully carried out.
The grand legendary Spectacular Pantomime of
JACK THE GIANT-KILLER

Remember the date when this Circus comes to town,
and don’t confound it with fly-by-night, and Steamboat concerts running ahead.
ED. D. WENBAN, Advance Agent.
