On Friday next, Goth inst. our town is To be
visited by on, Of the very best Exhibitions now
travelling. ADAM FoRErAuGn needs no recon-

United States as being one o: the most success
full showmen in the business. This reputation
has been won by a strict regard paid to furnish
ing an entertainment worthy of the patronage Of
the people.
Outside Of the cities our people are in want
OF mora amusement. "All work and no play
makes JACK dull boy" is old adage. This
is very probably the' last exhibition of the kind

ing this season, and Judging froHi the tone Of the
press where FoREPAUGu has been :, il is decided
ly the best Of the season.
Filling an engagement of one week in

MAMMOTH C1RcUs AND NESAGERIE.-Adam
Forepaugh's Geological and Equestrian Aggre-
CATION entered the city ia grand style yesterday
morning. The massive chariot, the monster ele-
phan', Romeo, and his baby, the camels, ponies,
cages and circus stock, all formed in procession
and marched down the avenue, with colOrs iy-
| ing and band ylaying dense crowd of specta-
tors lining the sidewalks and every window Of
| private residences picture gallery Of pretty
/ faces, all looking pleased u witness this, the
/ NEST attractive and dazzling show parade ever
made in this city. In every particular the affair
| cOrroborated the previous announcements con-
cerning its magnitude aud splendOr. finer
looking lot of horses never was seen in this city,
while the design, construction and ornamental
tion Of the cages commanded the admiration OF
/ all behnIders.
The two huge tents were erected on the Sixth
street lot, south Of the Avenue, and notwith-
! standing the threatening aspect Of the weather
the two tents were well filled at the afternoon
entertainment, and in the evening au immense
crowd waspresent.
Without exception the entire lot Of animals is
the largest, freshest looking and most interest
ing we have ever seen on exhibition. The Cir
Gus entertainment was one Of rare excellence.
The beautiful performing horses, lngomar, Lex
ingtoa aud CompaldOr, under the direction Of
| the celebrated trainer, Mons. FrancOuie, excl
ted the admiration of the entire audience; while
tie equesirianiSm of the beautiful and accom-
plished Cordelia, the plucky little Spanish girl,
Clnrinda LOwahde, and the graceful and lad "
ike manege act Of MI Virginia were executed
in manner that called forth deserved applause
characterized with a modesty and grace that
would disarm even the most hypoeritical and
fastdiOus from expressing word Of censure at
the entrs performance.
The trapeze performances by Hunting and
Mathews were admirably done. and the bare
back riding of Lowande was not ouly abreast
but ahead of ANYTHING seen in this city for years
The English hunorist, Williams, plea sed all by
his original and really witty jokes aud comicali-
ties, and is one of the few gentleman in this
line Of business that an audience can laugh Wih
All the other actors, whose names want Of space
prevents MS from specify ing, commended them
selves To The audiehce by the admirable manner
in which they enacted their various roles; and,
all in all, we cheerfully accord to Mr.. Fore
paugh's Equestrian Tronpe the title Of being
the champion Circus Of America"
Exhibitions will be given upon the Sixth
street lot every aftern0nn and evening during
the week, and our readers will bear in mind
that although two exhibitions are given under
two separate tents. yet one ticket and one price
admits to both. With pleasant weather We pre-
dict crowded pavilinus.
