On Tuesday, June 25, the above named famous
combined Museum, Circus and Menaserie will
visit this place. Few exhibitions have ever re-
ceivc( such high testimonials of worth and at
traction as the Great Forepaugh," and our citi-
zcns nay rely upon witnessing a splendid and
varied exhibition. Among the hattcring notices
received by this concern, we copy the following
from the Alta Californian:
The great success that has attended Fore.
paugf's Worlds Great Show for the past week is
due abne to the merits of the exhibition. The
combination is certainly the most complete and
popular exhibition that has ever visited our city.
Although the tents are larger than ever used
here before, they cannot contain the masses that
flock 10 witness the performances, both afternoon
and evening". The geological department re-
ceives great attention on account of its very good
collection of rare and curious formed and named
animals. Although this department alone Is
worth the price of admission, there is also first
class ring performance. The graceful and dar-
ing bareback riding, the gymnastc feats, the
leaping over six elephants, the wtticisms Of the
clowns--all combining to make a complete show.
The grand Mardi-Gras triumphal street pageant
forms one of the grandest sights ever seen in the
Golden Chariot of the World looming up like q
mountain of gold in the sunlight, together with
the Roman War Chariots, Helmetted Horsemen
clad in the style of the Henrys Of England; the
lordy herd of Elephants and lovely train of Stat.
uary, Golden Image Cages Dens etc, forming
panoramic view of over one mile IN length
We commend the great Forepaugh to the public
as the owner of the best show that has ever visit
ed the Pacific coast

On Tuesday of this week an impromptu match
was made up between Mr.. Matt White and Mr..
Henry Holmes, both of this city, to trot race
for Sa5 side, Mr.. White naming his horse
Clutch Billy" and Mr.. Holmes his four .year-old
gray, Tornado" the trot to take place that If.
tcrnoon. At the appointed time quite number
of sports together with the principals arrived at
the fair ground and after some prclimnaries the
| race-whch was best two in three-milc heats
began, Mr. White driving his own horse and
Tom Ready driving "Tornado' The first heat
was won by Dutch Billy" in 800 the second by
"Tornado" in $40, and the third and match by
Billy in $50. The track was heavy from the re.
cent rains, which accounts for the poor time
made. There was very little side betting and
what there was favored Billy somewhat. Alto.
gether the affair was not very exciting but was
amusement enough for one afternoon.

week and will take place this afternoon at the

visited our city and county for the purpose OF
disposing of the right to sell ''Stamphers Patent
Revolving Churn DASH" and also to establish a
company for its manufacture. Arrangements
were partly made with Mr.. j. REM, Of Ottawa,
to engage in their manufacture. Agents for sell
ing were to be appointed in different localities,
whose authority was to be derived from the
company" who were to furnish the dashes.
Mr.. REM, however, having been sold, before
on patent vendors, did not readily enter into the
company business, but held himself in readi-
ness to manufacture countless numbers OF churn
dashes or anything else in his line provided the
money was forthcoming.
The gentleman who was taking the most active
part in the matter ordered blank certificates and
orders to be printed, with Ottawa headquarters,
&c, but after consideration it was concluded to
change the location Of the company to Chicago,
and Il wood.cut, after his especial designing, was
ordered for the establishment Of the blanks.
No sales of dashcs having been made, no mon
cy was paid thereon; and the printers, engrav-
ers', landlords and sundry other bills were not
paid. The unfortunate holder Of one of these
bills directed adunuing missvc to Binghampton,
