“Just engaged, at great expense, THE TYROLEAN WHISTLER, just arrived from Europe, where he has created the wildest excitement by his performance on THREE WHISTLES AT ONCE, one of wood and two of tin, making the most beautiful as well as novel music. . . . KELLY’S AUTOMATON MUSICAL TROUPE, consisting of six figures, size of life, which play upon NOVEL PIANOS OR HARPERIANS, producing music equal to a full orchestra. . . . EDUCATED SEAL, which plays a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.”
