The great Forepaugh show has not
visited this State since ls71.y sasis
The remembrance of Forepangh's last
visit here in 1871, is stiff pleasantly re-
membered; ty many Of our citizens who
visited his excellent exhibitions at that
time. It has always been far ahead Of
ali travelling exhibitions in the United
States, and during the past season Mr..
Forepaugh has organized the largest
mnpean Of lcurigsifies, living wonders,
works Of art etc. ever put on wheels.
This he has added to his other exhibi-
tions, SO that, with his celebrated mem
agerie- the finest in Ameriea-his great
circus troupe and caravan, he now re-
quires the enormous amount of 11s, s,55S
square feet of canyas to cover his four
great shows, the same being sufficient
to make q ~ th- le-u 10y

.equaling in extent and variety any COL
lection, CT animals or birds exhibited
here before: When it is remem-i
beted chat one ai.lon of dollars have
been expended in Organizing this estab-
lishment, and that its daily expenses
would constitute a fortune to many, and
when we consider that the most insig-
nifcant show travelling cannot be visit
ed for less than the admission fee re-
quired to attend this gigantic concern
of Forepaugh's, I'VE are amazed at the
pluck and enterprise displayed by Mr..
Forepaugh, who is certainly the king
of siiowmenin this country. roc
NOT A, RAILROAD SHOW.
Again, Forepaugh's establishment is
the only great overland show now
travelling Except the very smallest of
shows, nearly every circus is now trans
ported by rail, and the cost Of trans
portation, obiiges them to cut down
their exhibitions in every department |;
by doing this, they visited more large
towns and cities, than show such as
Forepangh's can, during the season, but
the exhibitions themselves are in every
way inferior to what they were before
this mode of transportation was adopt
ed. ~Ferepaugh adheres to the old plan
of travelling with wagons-and giving
a good show-and the people in town
and country can see for themselves, as
his concern "goes marching on''-that
it is "big thing on wheels'-far eclips-]
ing any and all railroad shows now
travelling. - 9 1aS- = = ~
