A Superb Free Show.

The two performances of the
Great Adam Forepaugh & Sells
Brothers United Shows will be
preceded by a morning parade OF
unprecedented magnitude aud at
tractiveness, which it will cost
nothing to see, and which no one
with an eye for spectacular splen-
dOrs, pompOus displays and holi-
day sensations should miss. The
single parade of either of the
shows represented has heretofore
been classed as a wonder of wealth
aud magnitude in its way, but
now, that the two are consolidated
and many new, elegant and strik-
ing features added, the result
must be an overwhelming arenic
highway demonstration. There
will appear representatives of all
the battles of the republic, from
the Revolutionary War down tc
the War with Spain wearing the
correct uniform of the different
periods. The three grandest herd,
of elephants, CleOpatra's gorgeous
barge of state, a whole menageriC
of rare wild beasts in open an(
performing dens, many led ami
mails from distant climes, hun
dred ornate and pictured chariOts
cages, Mother Goose golden illus
trations aud Arabian Knightl
equipages; hundreds of the mos
beautiful horses, ponies and an
mored aud 0rientally paralelle,
participants, are among the bril-
liant sights which will richly re
ward the sight-seeking pilgrims
! And low excursion rates viii affor
all a cheap opportunity to tax
them all in, as well as America
