The FIRST OF THE SEAsoN.-It will
be seen by our columns, that the
Mammoth Menagerie and Elegantly
equipped Circus of Gardner & j. Fore
paugh will perform in this place on
Thursday of next week, afternoon and
evening. This is said to be one of the
most extensive and complete estab-
lishments that has ever travelled in
this country. From the numerous
notices or this great show by the press,
we copy the following from the Roch-
ester Union:
"Gardner & j. Forepaugh's Menag-
erie and Circus closed last night the
most successful tent" season ever
made in Rochester. The thousands
who thronged the immense canvass
both night and day gave by their ap-
plause the most unmistakabie eyiden-
ces Of the satisfaction they derived
from seeing the beasts and birds, and
witnessing the varied startling and
graphic feats and exercises in the are
ma. The menagerie, as we said yes
/ terday, is the finest and largest ever
put upon wheels, there being more
rare and beautiful specimens than we
ever saw congregated in one show.
Our contemporaries of local papers need
not be afraid to say clever things about
Gardner & J. FoRepaugh's establish.
ment. The things the agents say arc
very truthful, at least, and the features
and fixtures they promised here have
been brought to light" and fully yer,
