YOUTH OF VERMONT
the greatest and grandest object lessor
in natural history 1t has ever been theil
fortune to have placed before them
THE MAGNIFICENT HIPPODROME,
with its nearly quarter mile track ant
all its exciting trotling, running, stand
ing and chariot races by imported thor
Oughhreds cannot but prove a source OF
pleasure to the people of a State which
has produced such noble specimens OF
equine beauty, endurance and speed as
the world famed Black Hawk, Morgan
and Morrill, horses.
THE TRIPLE CIRCUS
q n nd in
can be seen everything new and attrac-
tive in the spangled world. To witness
the wonderful horse "Blondin' walk a
high rope, or the pony ECLIPSE" jump
from the trapeze swings under Adam
Jr.'s direction, is alone a
greater attraction than all the circuses
in the world can present. The same can
be said of his
GREAT HERD OF PERFORMING ELEPHANTS
who do everything but talk. 1t would
fill volume to recount all the pleasing
new and novel features of this the great
est of all shows.
POSITIVELY NO OTHER GREAT TEN EEL

rope walking horses, or anything what.

where in Vermont this season Except
ing mine) was ever seen or heard of in
any of the great cities of the country
and the only arenic aud geologic exhibi
ton worthy of notice or patronage that
will visit this State this year is the
UNITED FOREPAUGH AND WILD WEST
EXHIBITION.
The people of Vermont have seen the
great Forepaugh show in year past. Ii
is not a stranger in their midst. 1t first
came into the State Yeas ago, before
circuses travelled by rail, and 200 horses
pulled il over the Green Mountain State
piloted by Carlos Farnsworlh of Fairfax,
in this State. The boys of that period
are men of affairs now, and of all the
shows in existence then, mine alone
survives; and, like the rockribbed hills
of old Vermont, the great FUrepaugl
show will endure during generations ye
unborn, and it will pay everybody to
WAIT FOR FoREPAUGH AND THE WILL
wFST!
Its coming will create the most en-
jpyable holiday for everybody the STATE
has seen for the past twenty five years.
WAIT UNTIL AFTER HAVING!
and then visit show worth seeing, ant
get the worth of your money which
you surely will if you wait for Fore
plugh and the Wild West, and which
you surely won't if you visit any othe
tented exhibition.
Low FARE EXCURSIONS AND SPECIAL
TRAINS

Hampshire.
Get ready for its coming-observe tn
four palace advance advertising car
passing over the State. Notice the uni
formed agents, buglers and out riders
and look at the magnificent pretoria
bills; this tells the story in detail. See
the great show as it moves all over tn,
country with three great railway trains
all its own; see it un DAD, zee it IN CRANE
parade, see its acres of cloud TOWERING
canvas, and all the other evidences o.
greatness and grandeur, and if you don
think such colossal combination, rep.
resenting million dollars invested, il
worth visiting, don't go to it.
Cut this out and put it in the almanac
