NOTE

Mr. Forepaugh begs to inform his fellow citizens that he has experienced much difficulty on selecting the streets to be visited, on account of the net-work of telegraph, telephone and electric light wires that are placed so low as to obstruct the movement of the gigantic tableau cars, and render the highways well nigh impassible in localities he would be pleased to favor.
