The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1878-07-25

exhibited in kenosha on Thursday, the
18th instant. AND it was a great show,
| too great to be spoken Of particularly.
/ It's entrance into the city was of itself
no small show, and it attracted much
attention. And the show and perform
ances were grand, fully UP to the prom
/! Uses Of the advertisement. We were
| favored in the afternoon with a car
riage ride from the Office to the eXhi-
bition and return by the gentlemanly
press agent, Mir. Filkins. And Mr..
Filkins went around with us when
viewing the animals and called our at
tention to several things which we
should probably have passed without
notice, and related Incidents of some
of them of much interest.
The ring performances were very
good and filled the bill. And in saying
this we say much for them. And more
! STILL The performances of the ele-
plants were wonderful, and must be
!, seen to be appreciated. Of the seven
4 elephants exhibited, five performed in
4 the ring and every one Of them acted
i well his part.
i There were a large number of people
Irpresent in the afternoon and, as we
-|iearn, ~ still larger number in the eve
: lining enough probably to make the
exhibition at Kenosha profitable. The
Imenagerie takes in a large amount of
: Eanoney and pays out a large amount.
1T costs large sum to support such a
7banenagerie. The wild animals and road
! horses are taken care Of on the ground
| and those who take care Of them pitch
their tents and do their own cooking
l ION, the ground The ring horses are
taken into town and the ring actors,
2 agents, managers and proprietor stop

u .Forepaugh has established q great
Il nenagerie and built up q profitable
= business at a wonderful cost. And he
haslmade and makes his business prof
t itaale, III q great measure, by adVertls-
!. ing For more remarks on his adVer-
Using and an account Of some things
which we did not see, we take the fol
. lowing from the Waukegan Patriot:
4 Fofepaugh has spent mint Of mon
q ey in Lake county, in advertising his
: SHOW, which will spread it's tents here
t on the 18th inst. Forepaugh pays the
> two papers Of this county more cash
O. money for advertising his one days
y show. than any one merchant in the
5 town does for a years advertising il
y either OIL both Of them. Forepaugf
e knows his business, and will make
: money despite the hard times, while
= our merchants will complain about
: their "dull trade" and cut down theil
y advertisements. Forepaugh has learn
ed that the May to success is by adyer
! Using literally. Forepaugh knoac
d this; our merchants have it yet t.
$, learn.
