The Cia,ctts

The great Forepaugh circus has come and
conquered When the parade started at s
O'Clock it found eager crowds in waiting for
it at every street corner, when the teuts were
thrown open to the public at 10 O'Clock there
was q rush for admission that have been
almost unparalleled in the history of st. Panl.
The day was warm-the hottest of the year,
but at O'Clock in the afternoon an immense
crowd thronged the tents, so that standing
room was at a premium. In the evening
there was repetition of the crowd. There
was not room for even one more, and capacious
as the tents were, thousands were obliged to
go away without obtaining admission.
The menagerie was one of the best ever seen
in this city. The ANIMALS were all in prime
condition-the best possible representative OF
their species.
The performances in the arena were all that
they were advertised to be, and that is all the
commentator they should require. Many
circus managers display more attractions up
on the bill boards than they
do under the canvas. Forepaug1
presents more featuros beneath the tent than
have been bargained for. This, at least, was
what he did in st. Paul yesterday, and it is the
unanimous opinion that Adam will not be
permitted to visit this city again unless he
brings q larger canvas.
