■ Xever - Was Sucb 3 Show, and if We Live lo be a Hundred Tears 014 We Herer Expect to Bit ar or Read ol its Equal, unless Old John Robinson Comes . to this Town Again?-' ‘•For he is the only man in the world who is capable of out-Heroding Herod? is what the Toledo paper says of John Robinson's Ten Big New Gigantic Shows, and his great Mastodonic Three Ring Circus, which exhibited here yesterday forenoon, afternoon and night, and concludes and extended notice of the Leviathan show, as follows: “Although the great show of John Robinson has, without one single iota of a chance for dispute, the largest pavillion of any circus or menagerie on the con - tinent, it was by long oddsfar too small to accommodate the immense crowds of people who thronged the vast grounds eagerly try ing to obtain admission to the grand exhibition. The giant canvas has a seating capacity of thirty thousand persons and yet thousands were turned away for want of room. There never was such a circus boom in Toledo. Every man, woman, and the dog was out, and the entire population of the surrounding country, for fifty miles came pouring into the city like a vast flood. John Robinson was compelled to give four shows in one day, a most unheard of phenomena and which is an event Which does not -occur but once 1 in a lifetime.” John Robinson will surely cpm® to Rensselaer on Friday, June 18.
