FOREPAUGH'S SHOW.

The Largest awl Bert fa the World!

Its 17th Tasir sf Asievles-lssM *r rsnpssghl Pslsis sf Sxeel* IwM-Hia Bsporisrliy •ver all Caaspetitare.

The citizens of Terre Haute are promised a rich unusual treat in the visit of Adam Forepangh*s great show, which will exhibit here May 20th. Forepaugh is undoubtedly the greatest showman of (his or any other age, and has gained for Umilt a prestige and a fortune that are envied by a host of ambitions imir tators. It would be useless for us to descant upon his energy and enterprise, or upon the labor and expense that has attended his efforts to contribute to the amusement and instruction of the public. All his comprehensive knowledge of the wishes of the public was gained by personal experience, which waa prompted by a commendable desire to eater to a general love for all that is wonderful and beautiful in nature.

His present aggregation is acknowledged on all sides to be the grandest^ both in aire Jand variety, the world has ever seen.. All countries and all climes were visited for their representative curiosities, and in each case the finest specimens, both of animate and inanimate objects, were secured. Of course, sueh prices cost lots of money, but it is wel[ known that pecuniary consideratiyns never stand in the way of the veteran Forpaugh when he seeks to serve his patrons—the great public. It is a fact that cannot be gainsaid that Forepaugh's exhibition has never been equaled by any single show, or even by any combination of shows. It is true, there are several that travel with a louder florish of triumpets and make greater promises—whiefc, it is unnecessary to add, are never fulfilled but the fact remains that Forepaugh is king of them all. His show has never changed its nsme or ownership, nor resorted to any of the tricks known to the profession in order to deceive the public, and his grand success is a fine illustration of the "survival of the fittest."

Mr. Forepaugh's exhibition is an entirely new show for the season, and the additional attractions involved an expenditure of nearly half a million dollars. It now combines all the best and most startling features of menagerie and circus, and in securing his colossal collection, the wealth, brains, and nerve of the world were called into service, end the earth, sea, and. air made tributary. It is everywhere conceded that Forepaugh has the greatest living menagerie in the world. The whole forms the largest, rarest, and costliest collection of mammoths, mastodons, megatheriums, birds( beasts, reptiles, and marine monsters ever gathered together.

It is impossible, in a single newspaper article, to give anything like an adequate conception of the wonderful things to be 'seen under his vast extent of canvass, and we shall content ourselves with the simple enumeration of few of the most important. As an instance of the magnitude of the collection, it may be stated that there are twenty trained elephants,—more than any other show or zoological garden ever owned or exhibited, and twice as many as were ever seen together in this oountry. The performing elephants are disciplined and trained to execute series of truly astonishing acts, which csnnot fail to impress the spectator with admiration and awe. The menagerie is one of the best and most complete ever eeen, and comprises a perfect wilderness of wild beasts and birds.

The arenic attractions are magnificent and are of such an extent as to require two separate rings. There are more and better persormances, more horses, ponies, elephants, and performing animals of all kinds, and more costly and elegant costumes and wardrobes, and more original, novel, pleasing, and sensational features than any other circus or comb! nation of circuses ever thought of presenting. Attention is particularly called to the great Selbini and Villion troupe of bicyclers, whose performance is described by the London press as "peerless, puszling, and miraculous." To all lovers of the horse, Forepaugh's magnificent stud of twenty-two wonderfully trained stallions and ponies will prove peculiarly attractive, and their acts are among the moat pleaaing and marvelous to be witnessed anywhere. Mile. Ella Zuila, the serial queen, auraamed the

Female Blondiu," who is also with Forepaugh, gives thrilling feats on the high wire that ought to satisfy the insatiable appetite for sensational exhibitlona but this lilustrious artiste constitutes only one among the almost innumerable famous foreign features with which this unparalleled show is crowded. It might not be amiss to atate that Loyal, the human cannon bail, is still with Fcrepaugh, having been retained at an enormous expense, and goee through the erdeal of being projected through space from the mouth of monster eannon as though it wasaa ordinary aet. Possessing all the sueussorias, Manager Forepaugh has produced in a charmingly realistic manner the beautiful Oriental romance Of Lalla Rookh, introducing the loveliest lady In the huid, to personify the beautiful Rsstera princess. She is paid ten thousand dollars for appearing, during the season, in this spectacular display. The setting of the pegeant,j|nd all its surroundings constitute tjttdouhtedly the most magnificent spedtacular display ever sesu upon the streets of the New World.

A real gem of a jewelry establishment is that of H. F. Schmidt A Cb., the enterprising jewelers, opposite the Opera House. Some weeks ago they commenced the work of beautifying their aalesroom—mention of which was made at the time—and last night the work was completed by putting in a number of additional show eases wherein to display the brilliant and carefully selected stock of diamonds, watchea, jewelry of every description, solid silver and plated ware, French clocks, American clocks of all makes, gold headed canes, spectacles in gold, silver and other frames. AM these pretty things look charming in their elegant surroundings, and the proprietors have good reason to be proud of their establishment.
