ADAM FoREPAUGH SHOWS.
The Oldest, Richest. Largest Exhibi
ton in the World.

All unknown to the general public
and AZ quietly as possible, the greatest
circus work ever done in this country,
was accomplished during the winter
months just passed, of course this
statement obviously implies that an
immense amount of money, energy
and enterprise were put forth. The
old and well-known Adam Forepaugh
Shows were being newly equipped for
this their twenty-eighth consecutive
season, and the equipment required
the services of many agents, old trans
atlantic vOyagers, who have many
years penetrated spots but little in
habitcd by man, to find wonders for
the menagerie OF museum depart
ments of the great shows, or have
mingled with fashionable throngs at
the first amusement places of the gay
capitals of the world, seeking for supe-
rior artists in all the various branches
of the circus business, consequently,
when the great shows will exhibit at
Olympia, on Saturday, september 18th,
with their three great circuses, double
menagerie, great Roman hippodrome,
reinforced Wild West, mammoth mu-
seums, famous foreign features, and
trained wild beast shows, with all
their marvellous arialists headed by
the renowned Hanlon-Volters, and
numerous other attractions, all will
have an opportunity to see the inn
mense city of tents-fourteen vast pa
viliOns in which these things are ex-
hibited, which require four great trains
consisting of fifty cars each sixty feet
i'll length to haul here. When it is
moreover considered that $3,O00,O00
are invested in this great work that it
requires $500 to pay its daily ex-
penses, it will prove wonderful sight.
| 200 men and horses, more than 200
wild beast, as many foreign and Amer
lean artists, and nearly a like number
of Wild West people, and all the other
things too numerous to mention OF
these great shows, will make it almost
impossible to stay away.
