On Monday, September 81, the long her.
aided tented exhibition of Adam Fore
paugh's will give two grand entertainments
at Rutland. Having made this announce
ment. we will add that nine-tenths of the
tented exhibitions are humJugs.
There are, however, exceptions to all
rules and Forepaughs great show, which
is advertised to exhibit here, as above men
toned, may be classed as q most notable
exception to the statement made concern
ing exhibitions.
But who is Adam Forepaugh? Where
did he come from and where is he going
and what exceptions are to be made in his
case, we hear our readers asking
We answer: Adam Forepaugh has been
considered the most enterprising and saga
cious Circus and Menagerie manager this
country has ever raised He is a native
and resident of Philadelphia, and for the
past ten years mas OWneu Jne
LARGEST AND FINEST EXHIBITION
In the world. Starting every year from
his winter quarters, in the city of Phila-
delphia he commences his grand campaigns
in the city of Washington, thereafter to
Baltimore, Pittsburgh and throughout the
middle and western states where his
name is household word-far more pop
ular than Barnum's ever was.
Early this season, he crossed over Sus-
pension Bridge and commenced grand
campaign throughout the Canadas, and his
great show has fairly electrified the Kan
ucks, who at first looked upon his grand
army of men, horses, animals, ard par
aphanalia, as
INDIAN INVASION,
and were about to order out their militia,
but when they came to understand that all
this immense combination was travelling
show, and that the usual price secured ad-
mission to the entire exhibition, the whole
country turned out en- masse to visit it and
for three months Forepaugh's canvas halls
were daily crowded to oyerfowing. To re-
turn to his winter quarters it becomes nee
essary for him to
PASS THROUGH vERMoNNT.
He does not travel by rail- but moves
over the highways, with one thousand men
and horses, and so is obliged to halt and
exhibit at villages, where very interior ex-
hiblions seldom come, and such as Fore
paugh's not once in life time.
Travelling as he does independent of
railroads, the people of the small towns
and villages will be enabled to visit the
stupendous show without being put to the
trouble and expense of going to distant
city for this purpose, and Mr.. Forepaugh
earnestly invites the mechanics and far
mers, and everybody along the route, to
looS at the appearance Of his 200 horses,
the cages, carriages, harnesses and all his
immense train and if they do not think he
brings here the greatest and grandest show
that ever was seen in Vermont, then he
says edo not patronize me-
