BARNUM'S 



AMERICAN MUSEUM, 



Corner of Broadway & Ann Street, 



The Managers of this favorite estabhshraent, encouraged by 

 their constant success in pleasing the public, as is evinced by the 

 throngs of visitors which crowd the Museum every day and even- 

 ing, have again made a most lavish outlay of money in order to 

 secure valuable, rare and attractive novelties for their patrons. 

 Although it is conceded that no place of amusement in the world 

 provides one quarter of the attractions offered here for the same 

 price of admission, yet relying on the irnmense numbers of persons 

 who continually patronize them, the managers feel justified in in- 

 creasing iheir expenses\>Gyovi.di all former precedent, in order to add 

 to the pleasure of their visitors. Those who visit the Museum at 

 the present time will find, that on no former occasion have the at- 

 tractions been so numerous, complete and valuable as at present. 

 Rich and rare additions are continually being made to every de- 

 partment of the Museum,*while the Dramatic representations are 

 unrivalled by any other establishment is this country.
