COOKE, ZOYARA, AND WILSON'S GREAT WORLD CIRCUS. FORT -STREET. THIS (TUESDAY) EVENING, January 2,'Jrd, OWING to the inclemency of tho weather the NEW PROGRAMME will be produced THIS EVENING for tho first time. GRAND AFTERNOON ENTERTAINMENT ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, For the Accommodation of Families. UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS OF THE EXCELSIOR TROUPE OF THE WORLD. Tho elite of the City nightly grace the Pavilion with their presence, and express their delight at tho Itecherehe Entertainment. The Management take pleasure in referring to the moral import intended to he conveyed by the performances given. Innocent recreation has over, by the rigid piofessors of morality and discipline, been considered a wholesome incentive to the mind and body, when judiciously administered, in moments of relaxation from the graver duties of life, labour, study, and the pursuits of emoluments, ia the ordinary occupations of life. To unbend the attention from the toils, turmoils, and vicissitudes of every day life to proper subjects of diversion and amusement, lends a zest that will increaßO application and be more advantageous than the solitary ploasures of seclusion or the open dissipations of life. Public entertainments given ostensibly as amusements, are too often given regardless of the amenities of lifo and morality, and thereby many persons whose presence would elevate and purify, have been compolled to withdraw their patronage from public representations. To obviate all such objections it is the intention of the Proprietors to revive tho ANCIENT CIRCUS of the Greeks and Romans, in all its pristine beauties and elegancies, and to present a series of brilliant Olympian Exploits, which, while they will gratify and instruct, will stimulate youth to the adoption of such athletic amusements, equine and gymnastic, as will tend to the proper development of the body as well as the mind. So cautious will bo tho selection, that the tendor Father, tho affectionate Husband, or admiring Lover need not fear that tho blush of modesty will be affected by any exhibition presented within the arena.
