Adam Forepaugh's combination of men,
agerie, museum and circus, is to exhibit in
Rutland on or about Wednesday, Septem-
Der 1st. Presunipg that many of our read

copy the following account of its entrance
and exhibition in Buffalo from the Morn
ing Erpress
yesterday forenoon at about 0 o'clock,
Forepaugh's long heralded show, paraded
our streets in grand procession. From an
early hour the streets were thronged with
countless thousands of well-dressed anxious
sight scers. In fact, our city seemed to
have donned its holiday dress, TO greet the
Napoleon of amusement caterers.
The carriage containing the great origi-
nator and proprietor of this vast enterprise,
Mr.. Adam Forepaugh, who is aptly styled
the Charlemagne of the show world, pre-
coded the great golden chariot containing
| the
REGIMRNTAL BAND
which was drawn by twenty thoroughbred
Arabian horses. Mr.. Forepaugh was ev-
erywhere greeted most enthusiastically by
the expectant multitude, and gracefully
bowed his Acknowledgements. Sounds of
music filled the air rs the head of the col
umn appeared in sight. Then came num-
Der of Bactrian camels, in rich trappngs
of scarlet and gold attended by native in
flowing Asatic robes and turbans. Behind
the &c came the
FIVE TRAINED ELEPHANTS.
They are In charge of the Mahout, q
fierce looking Hindoo, clad in the fashion
of bis native land, and were harnessed to a
chariot of unique design. Then came a
splendidly illustrated chariot in pink and
silver, containing Nuban lion. surmount-
cd by a banner, and the mechanical figure
of an Arabian lugger plying his vocation.
Then followed cbariots of every color and
shade, each with rare wild animals, and
each drawn by two horses with crimson
plumes and elegant housings. These cha
riots differed in color, and bore on each
side illustrations of various subjects. Tile
