The present is the twenty-ffth consecu-
tive annual tour of the great Forepaugh
show proper. The added Wild West exhi-
bition embraces all and every great feature
that has made this frontier show so popular
over the entire country Under my per-
sonal management it was exhibited
! ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-THREE CONSECUTIVE
TIMES IN NEW YORK CITY,
and also for protracted season on Staten
| Island, in the harbor of New York. For
! this season, in addition to the realistic pre-
sentation of the stirring scenes of frontier
! life such as the
ROBBERY OF THE OVERLAND MAIL-CoACH,
lassoing wild cattle, riding bucking horses,
cowboy sports, attacking settlers, scenes on
the prairie, in camp, corral, fort and rancho,
pony express riders, etc, there will be pro-
duced the great national, military frontier
spectacle, illustrating
GENERAL cUsTER's LAST RALLY,
or The Battle of The Little Big Horn" in
which one hundred fifty genuine Indians,
scouts, trappers, soldiers and frontiersmen
will appear This will be presented exactly
as exhibited before tremendous and wildly
| enthusiastic audiences for four months in
the city of New York A great historical
object lesson is also placed before the pres
ent generation in the vivid representation
of the perils of early western emigration as
portrayed in the
ATRocIoUs MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE,
which is realistically exhibited in the Wild
West department of this colossal aggrega-
ton. The
MAMMOTH MENAGERIE AND TRAINED WILD
BEAST SHOW
is exhibited in a separate tent in Difference
to the feelings of many who are averse to
visiting circus, and every Christian parent
can with perfect propriety accompany their
children to this mammoth collection of rare
animals and birds, including living speci-
mems of the wonderful and now seldom
seen hippopotamus, giraffe rhinoceros and
Sea-lion, trained tigers, leopards, an entire
herd of elephants and other rare and costly
animals, thus affording to the
YOUTH OF VERMONT
the greatest and grandest object-lesson in
natural history it has ever been their for
tune to have placed before them.
THE MAGNIFICENT HIPPoDRoME,
with its nearly quarter-mile track and all
Its exciting trotting, running, standing and
chariot races of imported thorough breds,
can not but prove source of genuine pleas
ure to the people of a state which has pro-
duced such noble specimens of equine
beauty, endurance and speed as the world
famed Black Hawk, Morgan and Morrill,
horses.
THE TRIPLE CIRCUS
is running over with novelties and in it can
be seen everything new and attractive in
the spanged world. To witness the Won
derful horse Blondin " walk high rope,
or the pony Eclipse jump from the
trapeze swings, under Adam Forepaugh
Jr.'s direction is alone greater attraction
than all the circuses in the world can pre-
sent. The same can be said of his
GREAT HERD OF PERFORMING ELEPHANTS,
who do everything but talk 1t would fill
a volume to recount all the pleasing, new
and novel features Of this the greatest of all
shows.
POSITIVELY NO OTHER GREAT TENTED Ex-
HIBIrIoN WILL COME TO YER
MONT THIS YEAR,
and it is an ndisputable fact that no other
show advertised to visit this state this sea-
son, excepting mine, has any Wild West ex-
hibiton, anything worthy TO be called
menagerie, any herd of performing ele-
plants, any trapeze or rope-walking horses,
or anything whatever new or novel; and
further, no tented exhibition advertised to
appear anywhere in Vermont this season
excepting mine) was ever seen or heard of
J in any of the great cities of the country;
and the only arenic and geologic exhibition
worthy of notice or patronage that will visit
this state this year is the
UNITED FoREPAUGH AND WILD WEST EX-
HIBITIoN.
The people of Vermont have seen the
great Forepaugh show in years past. 1t is
, not stranger in their midst. 1t first came
into the state years ago, before circuses
travelled by rail, and two hundred horses
nnlIpI IL thp (,rpan Mountain State
piloted by Carlos Farnsworth of Fairfax in
this state. The boys of that period are men
of affairs now, and of all the shows in eXs-
tence then mine alone survives, and, like
the rock-ribbed hills of old Vermont, the
great Forepaugh show will endure during
, generations yet unborn, and it will pay
everybody to
: WAIT FOR FoREPAUGH AND THE WILD WEST!
Its coming will create the most enjoyable
, holiday for everybody the state has seen for
the past twenty-five years.
WAIT UNTIL AFTER HAVING!
and then visit a show worth seeing and get
the worth of your money-which you surely
Will II you wait for Forepaugh and the Wild
West, and which you surely won't if you
visit any other tented exhibition.
Low FARE EXCURSIONS AND SPECIAL
TRAINS
to and from the great Forepaugh show have
been, or will be, arranged for on every rail-
road in Vermont, and also on the New
Hampshire railroads; and the points at
which the show is to exhibit in this state
; have been selected solely with a view to
make the exhibition accessible to the entire
, population of Vermont and the bordering
counties in New Hampshire,
Get ready for its coming. Observe the
four palace advance advertising cars pass
? ing over the state. Notice the uniformed
agents, buglers and out-rders, and look at
the magnificent pictorial bills. This tells
the story in detail. See the great show as it
moves over the country with three great
/ railway trains, all its own-see it unload,
, see it in grand parade, see its acres of cloud
towering canvas, and all the other evil
dences of greatness and grandeur, and if
you don't think such colossal combination,
l representing million dollars invested, is
worth visiting, don't 60 to it.
Cut this out and put it in the almanac.
, Get ready be preparation
: 4-PAW AND THE WILD WEST!
