paugh-SeDs show is stated TO be the
most stupen lous ever seen on Amer
lean soil. An entire train OF twenty
tremendous cars is required for the
movement OF the larger animals alone.
I he entire animal outfit has involved
an expenditure of over a million dol
lars. The circus and hippodrome feat
ures are so numerous, and in many
cases so entirely novel, that IA mere
enumeration Of some Of the most inn
portant can only be given Among
those which will be seen for the first
time here are several troupes of phe
nomenal acrobats and 9rialists who
we're especially engaged in Europe for
this combination. The most notable
OF the European artists are the Liv-
ingston, De Mora and Devere troupes
Ryan, Zorella and Wietzell, known on
the continent as the shooting Stars,
who come direct from the winter cir
Gus, Berlin; LOzell and Garnella; the
four Ricketts,, Austria's greatest mrial-
lists Paul "Splash" Tustin, champion
high diver Of the world and a hun
dred other arenic celebrities.
Among the performing animals are
two troupes OF educated elephants,
trained in entirely different schools
aud entirely dissimilar. One of the
unique acts in this connection is the
quadrille danced by eight gigantic
tuskers that were trained by Mr.. Fore
paugh himself. This is stated TO be at
once the most Iisible and remarkable
exhibition OF animal training on
record. Woodward's sea lions and
seals, the only troupe Of its kind in
the world, will also divert the young
sters and their elders. Anothsr whirl.
wind OF delight for the children will
be the gay performance OF Baby Ele-
phant CUBA, an Indian zebra aud
troupe Of hungarian ponies in one
grand combined frolie.
Another entirely novel feature which
has created an unprecedented furore at
every stand this season is the famous
Octavian troupe of sixteen Roman sol
diers and athletes, who give splendid
exhibition Of the sportt, eombats and
evolutions Of the CRsarian era Nine |
Yucca, one Of the most beautiful aud |
certainly the strongest woman in the |
world, is also one Of the ars of the /
big tented amphith0ater.
The Forepaugh Sells com bination is |
the only important tented exhibition /
that will be seen in the Middle West /
ern states this season. It's only pos
sible rival, the Barnum-Bailey show,
will rem ain in England another year.
