SHOW IV.

_Atkin’s Menagerie._

This inscription was in lamps on one of the largest shows in the fair.

The display of show-cloths representing some of the animals exhibited

within, reached about forty feet in heighth, and extended probably the

same width. The admission was sixpence. As a curiosity, and because it

is a singularly descriptive list, the printed bill of the show is

subjoined.
