any one of the Reverend
Mountebanks to go the whole hog, or rather the whole ma-hog-any, by
taking some establishment suited to scenes in the circle, and giving an
entertainment, with a programme something resembling the following:--

THEATRE ROYAL ANYWHERE.

General combination of Table-turning talent. By a happy concurrence of
fortuitous events, the REVEREND SAMPSON SPOONEY, the REVEREND MEALY
MOUTHPIECE, and the REVEREND JABEZ JAWBONE are now in London together
and will have the honour of appearing in conjunction with the

MOST SPLENDID STUD OF HIGHLY-TRAINED TABLES.

For a few evenings, during Christmas, SAMPSON SPOONEY in his rapid act
of horsemanship on the

WILD TABLE OF THE NEW CUT.

This astounding table will dash through an open window, spin round for a
quarter of an hour, and conclude its wonderful performance by leaping
out of the circle, with the REVEREND SAMPSON SPOONEY hanging on to its
castors.

To be followed by the

REVEREND MEALY MOUTHPIECE AS THE COURIER OF EXETER HALL,

On six dining-tables in full gallop, all of which will take an
astounding leap over each other's backs; and conclude by throwing a
succession of somersets over a sideboard.

In the course of the evening, the

REVEREND JABEZ JAWBONE, IN THE HAUTE ECOLE,

will introduce his

FAVORITE AND HIGHLY-TRAINED TABLE "ROSEWOOD,"

which will dance the _Valse a Deux Temps_, go round the circle on three
legs and terminate its graceful evolutions by a marvellous display of
sommersaults.

The entertainments will finish with a pleasing act by MASTERS JAWBONE
and SPOONEY, the celebrated juvenile prodigies, on a pair of
card-tables. The intervals of the performances will be filled up by the
solemn mummeries of the celebrated clerical buffoon, the REVEREND
TIMOTHY TWIST, assisted by a Deathless Clown from Drury Lane, and other
available talent.

CATCHING PEOPLE'S EYES.

Compassionating the exceeding difficulty to which advertisers seem to be
reduced, at this period of the year (when, as there are, of course, no
Christmas bills coming in, one's wives and children ought to be reminded
to make onslaughts upon the marital and paternal purse), _Mr. Punch_ has
kindly prepared, and hereby places at the disposal of the mercantile
interest, a variety of advertisement
