toured this country, trained
lions. Polar bears, seals, mixed
groups (f leopards, tigers and
. pumas, a great herd of perform-
ing elephants, dogs, ponies and
camels, this old show has the
wonderful Buchanan prize win
ning horses that cake walk, two-
stev and wal z, also the famous
Bessie Harvey and her flock of
pigeons' flying all over the big
arena until they are called by
her to alight over this wonderful
trainer.
All these marvelous wild and
domestic animals acts have met
the approval and admiration of
thousands of visitors to the show
this season. However, besides
this entertaining program this
circus is the only tented enter-
prise on the road that has in-
stalled electric fans for the com-
fort of the auditors, as the side
walls are raised this insures a
breczy tent during the long en
tertaing program.
“The big street parade uses
old show is advertised in all di-
rections for forty miles around
and they are entitled to a big
day's business in this commu-
nity for they only help the town
when they help themselves.”
“Oh! yes,” said Mr. Ballinger,
“the program this season has the
greatest drawing card ever seen
under canvas Batling Nelson and
his company of athletics and
sparring partners.
“Nelson has had over three
hundred fisticuff fights for the
boxing glove supremacy. He is
a worthy example of clean living,
has saved his mone} and is a
creditable example of staunch
young manhood: as will be seen
when the big show comes to Gil
mer on Friday, October 26th.
