Gold Me oIM 0y 'Ml Numerically the menageries of tb John Robinson 10 big shows dombin-ed is equal to that of any other ever but considered from point of instructivenesB and Talus it far surpasses all of the others that are touring the country and compares most favorably with the most perfected organized zoological collections of Europe. Those who have annually visited other menageries have undoubtedly observed that the attempt has been made to gain magnitude by increasing the number of cages irrespective of what was confined in them. Duplication of animals were frequent and to the patrons most unsatisfactory.

The cages were small and the animals in them cramped for room and necessarily descrepit and far from being the noble representatives of the Jungles, plains and mountains, Tou will not find this deplorable state of affairs around the John Robinson shows when they come here Friday, May 12. There is no duplication of specimens excepting among the interesting monkey family there are many duplications of human-like little fellows. The A cages with this show are all large ahl clean and the animals are all under the personal care of an experienced dos-tor. They do not show fatigue or partial paralysis from limited quarters. Every animal in the ijienager-ie is sleek and healthy.

THir rich coats shine, their eyes sparkle' and it can be truthfully said that physically they are just as they were when not in confinement. Nature has" been' very liberal with the menagerigs during the past winter and In many of the cages will be found proud mothers with their litters of bab es that are as cute as they can be and no one for a moment as they look at them would ever think of connecting the wee small balls of fur with cruelty and destructivenets, but under each little velvety paw there lurks tho treacherous claws and beneath each curling lip the deadly fang. In this menageries will be seen the only pair of monkey twins that have ever known to be bofn. It an unheard of occurrehce in 'the monkey family and both of the little fellows are healthy and well and the cause of no little anxiety for' the proud Mama monkey.

At the noon hour the table was fairly groaning beneath its burden cf dainty luxuries, and to say that the dinner was excellent would be put ting it mildly, for each one stretched his capacity by the pleasness of the repast. Many pleasant puns tending to clear their plates for greater exertion. One of the most pleasant features to Mr. Waltrip was the meeting of all bis brothers and one sister at once which had not occurred since the death cf -theirmotherr thirteen years The afteriroon was quickly whiled away in pleasant conversation, croquet and many other harmless games.

And to say that, all enjoyed the occasion hugely is to but express it truthfully and all wish for many happy returns of such an-occasion. To Entertain Society. Mrs. W. P.

Nor did any one go away disappointed as the show is the best, that has been put on at any vaudeville theatre In the city. The stock company is here for the week and will change their bill on Wednesday and Friday nights.

Besides the stock company Jack White in his feminine disguise and Claire Maynard each made hits with the audience in their specialties. Mr. Stein gave the public something of a surprise last night by giv'ng a free concert by an Italian orchestra in front cf his theatre, the music was A No. 1 and was appreciated by all passersby. Lyric.

The show at the Lyric last night was cue of unusual interest. Henry Bobker's nmpersonations of the Jewish, German and Italian characters, HENRY BOBKER. his delineations being made in full view of the audience, was the cleverest that our people have yet seen. His mimicry in monologue and song of the Italian peasant is simply perfect. The Milllaiy Trio consists of ihree soldier boys out for a lark and they are birds.

Their comedy is new and refreshing but their greatness lies prinicapliy in their harmony sinking. Their repertoire includes military song-, ballads and comedy and their closing number "Way Down in Georgia" pleases the fancy and makes the audience long for more. One patron said: "Everybody in Mattoon ought to see this show." Rvidently this entire bill will draw-large audiences the remainder of their engagement. Bankers Discuss Live uQestions.
