Matfi the Farepaujh Scl'f Circus the
World's Foremost Organization.
Tbe Great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers' Enormous Shrfws
United are now owned by James A.
Bailey and Ringlirg Brothers. This
circus has always enjoyed the con
fidence of the public, because every
thing new, sensational and exclusive
was always to be found in the
enormous program offered.
The enormous circus has been
added to in the size of the tent?,
number of people employed, horses
used, animals collected and in many
other ways, until it looks as if the
limit of human endeavor had been
achieved. The menagerie annex
shelters more than one hundred
cages, of rarest wild animals. This
department of the big shows is
Angularly impressive, because it ex
hibits not only rrore rarely seen wild
creatures, but nuny of these speci
mens are to be found nowhere else
in captivity. A fierce bi hornecf rhinoc
eros, the rarest and most expensive of
all wild beasts, is in this collection, as
(are two great fanlike earded ele-
phants of African origin, a blood
exuding hippopotamus, three herds of
elephants, full grown and symmetrical
types, and a nursey of baby wild
animals, like kitten tigers, cub lions,
quaintly hopping kangaroos, floun
dering seals, brieht-eved leorjards.
homely hyenas, and so on.
Before the circus acts proper begin
a spectacle called Panama or the
Portals of the Sea will be presented.
This production involves more than a
thousand people, and is the most
massive, magnificent and extravagant
display of spectacular invention ever
seen under canvas. Will be here Sept.
25th.
