FoRHPAUGH's CIRCUS.
"a Mighty Good One"

Forspaugh's great show has been exhibiting
in Boston during the past ten days to immense
audiences. AS it is coming here on the 10Th
we clip from the Boston Post the following In
relation to this famous exhibition; "Ins SHOW
began ton days session in Boston yesterday
by street parade, which was literally attend
ed In the morning. and performanceat the
Coliseum grounds In the afternoon. To relieve
the mind OF the reader OF doubt, II he has any,
let 1t be stated right here that the show Is
mighty good one. The menagerie is one OF the
best ever seen in the city, containing many
beasts which 1t is very pleasant tosee, insecure
cages, rare birds and other curiosities; lions,
big ones; tigers, also big; seals, hippopotami,
rhinoceroses genuine zebras, CRATES, ostriches,
byenas, and any quantity other animals, the
names OF which are-well, not particularly
easy TO spell, are to be seen In the menagerie
tent, In the list must hot DO forgotten the
elephant which weighs more than Jumbo, and
therefore is more capable Of despising tobacco
The circus is first class one, in some respects
excelling Barnum's. Perhaps the best feature
of all was the Sibons, whose work on trapezes
was in the highest degree daring and akiiful.
One of them, mere boy, dives from the top of
the tent, full % feet, being caught by con-
frere, swinging on trapeze. Mr.. Adam Fore
paugh, Jr, aud his trained elephants are a
source OF admiration Better work in that line
has never been seen in this city. Miss Lille
Deacon gave an exhibition of practical horse
nanship that was extremely graceful and
highly enjoyable. The other riders were OK
cellent. Adelaide Cordena performed the fonr-
horse cot made famous by Nine Dockrili, and
while hardly equalling that great equestr ienne,
did some fine work. Lizzie Aguzzl also did
some fine riding, and of the men, Jeromino
Bell carried off the honors, while james Lloyd
aud others did we'll Miss Lottie Aymar, a
very pleasing looking lady, did very clever
trapeze act Other features OF the entertain
ment were Little All Right. George Jagendor-
fer, a remarkably strong man, Lsonat, a skill
full bicyolist, and several others too numerous
to mention wsa9, ~
the circus-goer must struggle, johnny Purvis
has contriyed system of bothering a iaokass,
which is really very funny. The circus con-
