MILITARY BAND

accompanies the exhibition, and the entire
establishment is a monument to Mr.. Fore

Mr.. Forepaugh, arrived in this country in
the winter Of 1866, and in the spring o.
1867 he began his first American tour
Starting from Philadelphia, he visited
New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
and New York, and returned to Phila.
delphia in the fall. The succeeding season
he crossed the Allegheny mountains. and
exhibited in Ohio. Michigan and Indiana
During 1869 and 1870 he made a tour o
the western and northwestern states, anc
entered Ohio on the first of June and viii
remain in this State until October lst
The Columbus, GAINESVILLE, Newark, Gin
cinnati, and in fact the entire press o
central and northern Ohio, are unanimous
in pronouncing Forepaugh's gigantic es
tablishment the Largest, the most attrac'
tive and unobjectionable exhibition nov
travelling" they also bear testimony tC
the
MORAL, INSTRUCTIVE
and elegant character of the entertain
msnts, and the superior class OF audiences
it calls out, and, with suitable weather
we predict the largest attenoance on its
arrival, ever seen at q menagerie in thii
city.
FARMERS AND MECHANICS
are invited by the proprietor to notice th'
grand army" Of men and horses as tn,
establishment passes over the highways
and also to observe the style and construc

Mr.. Forepaugh himself travels in
splendid close carriage, painted marco
and black, with gold-mounted harness an
liveried fsotmen, the interior of the b
ronche being the quintessence Of comfol
and elegance. An exhibition such as tn
there has never before been seen IN tn
country, and cheerfully recommending
to the support of the entire communit,
we doubt not. the advent Of this stupent
GUS concern, will produce general hol
day in town and country.
