THE CIRCUS.

Now that the coming of the circus is the
grand, absorbing event in the present antici
patton and near future of every well shaped
boy and girl, it is we'll that the outspoken
words of the observant pressgangers be re-
peated as one finds them emitted along the
line of march of the great show. Says the
Reno Gazette of Wednesday evening: We
took run to-day through portion Of Adam
Forepaugh's great circus, and unhesitatingly
pronounce it the best circus and menagerie
we have seen in one collection. FOrepaugh
started out right for a success at the circus
business He has his own railroad cars,
good wagons, fat horses. and a complete
circus accoutrement. His collection Of ami
mails embrace the largest variety and the
most healthy looking animals we have ever
seen on this coast. The hlppOpOtamus
weighs over 1000 pounds. The three-ton
rhinoceros is the finest specimen we have
ever seen anywhere The zebra is no painted
mule but is the genuine article. There are
number of lions, tigers antelopes, vast col
lection of small quadrupeds, and birds OF
many kinds; large yak, six elephants, and
large number of animals the names of which
we have forgotten. The menagerie is fully
worth FIVE dollars We advise parents to
take their children this evening to the men
agerie. We speak in TO fulsom praise, but
the animals are there and are worth going to
see There is but one side show and that
contains objects of interest to everyone. Cap
tain NJ. Y Bates and wife are truly wonder
full. He is 80 years OF age, feet IL inches
high, and weighs 47S pounds She is 20
years old, same hight, and weighs Ais pounds.
Both are good natured and quite affable. The
Captain is quite good looking man and has
good education. The learded pig is a
common looking barn yard hog, and is just
as smart as he is happy. Edwards slight-of-
hand performance is good, and the Circassian.
the bearded woman-beard for sure'-is a
wonder, and the two large boa constructors
are monsters. Altogether they form pre-
sentation worth several times the admission
fee. The circus proper has such performers
as Mollie Brown, Sebastian, Robertson and
others. Six elephants will perform under
the instruction of A Forepaugh, Jr. Go to
Forepaugh's circus, menagerie and museum
and if you are not satisfied you can get your |
money back.
