The highest compliment we can pay
to Forepaugh's great show, is to say that
its advertisements are too nodest-they
do not half describe its magnitude and
merit-when we consider the exaggcrative
style of advertising adopted by travelling
exhibitions, what higher compliment can
be bestowed upon manager Forepaugh,
and his great aggregation. His exhibition
is to visit many Of the leading towns in
Wisconsin, and we cheerfully commend it
to the patronage of all our readers in the
Badger State" -.
