FoREpAucH> GREAT EXHIBITION.

This immense institution is to exhibit here
on Friday August Sd. Exceeding in mag
nitude and merit any tented exhibition now
before the public, we transfer to our columns
the following notice f.om the Herald plb-
lished at St. Joseph, in which place Fore
paugh recently exhibited.
The streets of ST. Joe wore Yesterday for
a time at least, a gala look, az the pageant of
Forepaugh's great circus was on its ho iday
parade. The principal streets were trayeIsed.
and many thousands gazed upon and folio we'd
after the brilliant show. 1hechariots, cages.
elephants, camels and horsemen made an
imposing spectacle, and it was conceded that
ofthe many similar displays mad in St. Joe
none had ever surpassed il, if any had equalled
it. The initial performance was given yes
terday Afternoon, under the monster tents on
the State street To-, and was a decided anc
worthy success. The menagerie was found to
be the most complete in this country, en-
bracing many rare animal. and birds seldom
seen outside o their native haunts. In addition
to the six trained elephants, camels, lions,
lionesses and cubs, tigers monkeys and oiher
animals, sea lions, polar bear, an Egyptian
crocodile. a giraffe, an Albino peacock, a
'os hSC', d iHiiCCSios, d sIiNtI ,liOD, d
nylghau, an elan, an Aarad vlack, a kanga-
roo, and a horned horse, were among The
special attractions. Fairy gr.ttoes, bell ling
er, singing bird, and s%tatuary were there tc
please and instruct. The circus performance
commenced with a grand tonrn iment scene
and then followed bare back riding, v~aulting
gymnastics, performances by the elephant.
and camels, riding dogs goats and monkeys
and the inimifable clown. The show and
circ IL were pronounced the best ever seen
in this city, the menagerie being except n
ally large and the ring features exciting
amusing and often brilliant. 1t was notice.
able that everything was kept in a mos
clearly condition, and the ushers in a tend
ants were especially polite and attentive
At night the utmost capacity of the huge
covering was unequal to the demands fol
space. The popularity of Adam F~orepaugh
always great, must increase, and the public
can rely upon finding his show every way
worthy of liberal patronage.
