ELECTRIC BOATS. Enjoyable trips amidst beautiful surroundings, to the accompaniment of charming music. RICHARDSON’S SHOW. This is a revival of the famous shows which were so highly appreciated at the com- mencement of Queen Victoria’s reign. We who exist at the end of the present century can only marvel at the possibilities of the most famous of all shows — that of Richardson. He was the “ star ” of the London fairs. Actors who afterwards achieved a permanent position upon the London stage had hailed from Richardson’s, amongst the number' James Wallack, Oxberry, and Saville Faucit, father of Helen Faucit, were in the troupe.- Edmund Kean was also in the company. Performances at intervals every afternoon and evening. JEWELL’S MARIONETTES. The first building on the right leading into the Coronation Fair from Picturesque England is occupied by Jewell’s Famous Marionettes, a special entertainment in imitation of the classical performances given during the first years of Her Majesty’s reign ; musical performances, specialities, and comic pantomime, enjoyable for old and young, with continuous changes in the programme each afternoon and evening. YE OLD POSITIVE PHOTOS, by the system in vogue immediately after the Daguerrotype. Made on Collodion Film. Also by the same process the latest novelty, Photographic Caricatures of every description. SHOOTING GALLERY. In these days, when every able-bodied man handles a rifle, it is no wonder that a really first-class range is crowded from morning to night. This gallery has been com- pletely changed and enlarged, and picturesque scenery in harmony with the Exhibition added, and improved in every possible way so as to make it one of the features of thi& Fair. VISIONS OF ART. The latest Parisian success. Artistic and Animated Tableaux, with marvellous life- like colours. Most wonderful new invention. No resemblance whatsoever to the- Cinematograph, nor to the Tableaux Vivants, or so-called Living Pictures. Scientific, refined and attractive spectacle for families, with musical accompaniment and songs. Continuous performances will be given from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. EVANION’S ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT. Inimitable recreations, magical illusions, and amazing deceptions as given by him by Royal Command before their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and suite, at Marlborough House and Sandringham — three performances under their special patronage. The Entertainment includes “ Time on the Wing,” “ Magical Locomotion,” “ Pharaoh’s Mystic Cone,” “ A Lesson for Ladies,” “ Fan Fan,” a Japanese novelty up to date, “ The Telegraphic Bacchus,” “ The Wonders of Aladdin,” “ Modern Mysticism,” “ Prestidigitation,” “ Marvellous Multiplication,” ‘ Les Chaines de Vulcain,” “ Mother Shipton’s Legacy,” “ Fortunatus’ Hat,” “ Yan-Tan,” an extraordinary Chinese Feat,, with laughable incidents, &c. PEPPER’S GHOST. Everyone has heard of Pepper’s Ghost, first produced at the Royal Polytechnic nearly half-a-century ago. Since that time there have been many alterations and improvements, and we may call Mr. Randall Williams (the king of showmen) the premier improver in. this speciality. He has spent almost a lifetime as caterer for the public, and has at last reached the acme of perfection in his representations of Pepper’s Ghost. Amongst the features of this great Exhibition will he seen Her Majesty’s Coronation, Marriage, and the events of this Jubilee year, each character and performer being dressed in appropriate- costumes of the periods. THE GIGANTIC WHEEL. The Gigantic Wheel at Earl’s Court is 284-ft. in diameter, and weighs about 900 ton's- There are 40 cars each capable of carrying 30 persons ; ten of these — the saloons — are luxuriously furnished with easy chairs, settees, &c. From the top of the Wheel, at an altitude of about 300 feet, a magnificient view may be obtained. The Crystal Palace to the south east ; the Surrey Hills to the south west ; Windsor Castle on the west, and on the north, Harrow, Wembley Tower, and the heights of Hampstead and Highgate ; to the east most of the public buildings in London are visible. The motive power is furnished by two 16 horse-power Robey engines driving two endless chains round the Wheel. Tea, coffee, ices, &c., are served on board. Saloons may be engaged on application to the Secretary. SANGER’S CIRCUS. The oldest and most popular Circus in the world, dating as it does from the coronation- of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. It is, therefore, deemed advisable for the sake of novelty to divide the entertainment into two parts. The first portion is intended to realise to the present generation the manner in which these entertainments were given in the early part of the present century. The second portion will be in every sense of the word given in a high-class moral and unique manner. And in order that the entertain- ment should be a record of the history of the equestrian art, the ladies and gentlemen engaged have appeared in every capital of Europe, and America, and at the leading Arcuses of the nations. — Lady artists : Miss Florence Godfrey (this is positively the lead- ing lady of the equestrian profession) ; Miss Lillian Humel; Miss Florrie Humel ; The Charming Lizzie ; Miss Isabella Constance ; Mdlle. Arno ; Miss Curtis ; Miss Julia ; Madame Rosa Montero ; Haute Ecole; and wonderful Buck jumping. Gentlemen: Mr. James Crocket; Mr. Humel; Mr. Karl Grant ; Three Brothers Clifton ; Master James Crocket, Jockey; Ching Ching and Chow Chow; Bros. Crippen, acrobatic violinists; Mr. Yelding, jockey art rider ; The Yelding Family (five in number), the most celebrated performers; Mons. Kierno ; Alfred Beno Signor Artizana ; Mr. W. Elcho; Mr. George Hurkinson ; Herr Von Smythen ; and the Clowns ! ever amusing, led by the great Rumbo Austin ; supported by the Three Raynors ; and for the first time in England for ii years of the great renowned and world-famed Sandy — the great little little Sandy — the Queen’s Own Jester. 13 ROYAL MIDGET SHOW. The most wonderful Midget in the world, Little Queen Mab, with tiny state carriage, midget ponies, and midget coachman. Continuous show, 12.30 to n p.m. THE SWITCHBACK Is running daily as of yore. It has been entirely rebuilt since last year, and will, undoubtedly, prove as popular as ever. THE ELECTROPHONE, In the Western Gardens, has been very largely patronised in the afternoons and evenings. Connection exists between it and the leading London Theatres, Concert Halls, Palaces of Variety, etc., besides other amusements. The Electrophone Entertain- ment has this year been greatly improved and enlarged. THE INFANT INCUBATORS in the WESTERN GARDENS. The medical fraternity has everywhere taken the liveliest interest in the wonderful invention for saving the lives of infants, who, but for this apparatus, would have either dragged out a wretched existence for a few years or died within a few hours of birth. The invention has been hailed with delight by the leading scientists and philanthropists of Europe. ANCIENT ROME, 312 A.D. The wonders of Ancient Rome, 312 a.d., are depicted with vivid realism in the Great Panorama, painted by Professors J. Biihlmann and Alexander Wagner, and exhibited in the Panorama Hall in the Western Gardens. This great work of art has been already exhibited in Munich and Berlin, where it not only aroused the enthusiasm of the world of Art, but was the wonder of the people. The magnificent painting is 50 feet high, 394 feet in circumference, and covers 1,938 square feet of canvas. Rome standing on her seven hills, and revelling in a splendour long since departed, is seen in the very zenith of her grandeur on the day when the Emperor Constantine made his triumphal entry through her gates. Every phase of the important day is exhibited. While the victorious legions of the first Christian Emperor are entering the city, the old religion, still existing in another portion, is shown in pagan sacrifices which were still continued. No words can adequately describe the remarkable painting built up foot by foot from the ruins of the Eternal City by the patient research and technical skill of these great artists. From the crowds which line the streets to the glorious atmosphere the spirit of true art reveals itself, and the spectator will be at a loss which to admire most, the stirring action of the life-like figures in the city, or the dreamy restfulness of the Italian sky. No one who enters the Exhibition gates this year should miss seeing this masterpiece of perspective Art. POLYERINI’S PANTOMIMOGRAPH, the best Animated Photographs in existence, shows scenes of life in the most effective and realistic manner. The figures in each scene are before the spectator as if they were alive. In many instances the colours are reproduced, which constitutes an absolute novelty. Scenes like the “Nightmare,” and “ Playing at Cards,” are so amusing that they are followed by the public with roars of laughter. The Pantomimograph changes its programme and reproduces the latest novelties every week. A striking novelty is a perfect picture of the opening ceremony on Monday, May 24th, with splendid portraits of H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge and the guests. Magnificent life sized Animated Photographs of the ROYAL PROCESSION at the DIAMOND JUBILEE CELEBRATION, with Her Majesty’s Carriage and Cavalcade of Princes, are now being shown. ^ Those who had not the opportunity of witnessing the festivities, can here enjoy a vivid reproduction of every incident as it actually occurred.
