Forepaugh Circus.
When
Adam Forepaugh, the veteran circus manager cast his net over the Old World to
secure the most famous attractions for the entertainment of the American public,
he did so with remarkable success. Among those who make their opening bow this
season, are Senora Aguzzie, the reigning equestrian queen of the Imperial
Circus at Madrid; Lizzie Deacon, England's equestrian empress, from Hengler's Circus
Royal, London, whose two, three and four-horse feats are phenomenal; Sig.
Leonati, the amazing bycicle spiral ascensionist; the famous Silbon troupe of
acrobats and gymnasts, of Paris, Berlin and Vienna; the three Herbert brothers,
gymnasts; Samuel Watson, the famous European bareback rider; Lloyds, father and
sons, in their comical musical melange, and a variety of marvelous horseback
feats, all new to the United States. Besides these there are a host of other
stars of the first magnitude. The show is great in every sense, and will exhibit
in Cortland on Tuesday, August 14.
