FoREPAUGH's MAMMOTH MENAGERIE AND
CIRCUs.-As will be seen on reference to
the advertisement this great combination
will spread its colossal tent in Columbus,
Wednesday, September 23d. This is the
monster establishment which has created
such furore, recently, in the States of
Michigan and Indiana, where it has been
on exhibition. Judging from the tone and
expression of the press, nothing like it,
both as to intrinsic merit, vastness of pro-
portion, and magnificence of fdesign-which
has been bought at an actual expense of over
s30O,000-has ever been seen in the United
States. y .fSH3JJ on
In the geological department are twenty
two elegantly decorated cages, finished in
emerald and gold, and each one filled with
living animal curiosities of the finest and
rarest species, collected at fabulous ex-
penditure of time and money, from all
parts of the world, and only to be seen in
Forepaugh's great caravan. In addition to
these are to be seen Old Romeo, the mon
ster elephant, whose weight exceeds five
tons--.justly denominated the "masto-
don" of the animal Kingdom, and
baby Anna, the pet young elephant.
scarce three feet high, the de-
light and plaything of all the children.
One peculiar feature of this great exhibi-
ton, and which commends itself, is the en-
tire separation of the menagerie from the
circus, giving individuals who wish to see
the animals ample opportunity, without
coming in contact with the latter, though
but one price of admission is charged. The
circus, however, is said to be large and OF
excellent quality, composed of first class
artists and clowns, all of acknowledged
reputation and ability.
