Miles Orton's Great Exhibition

This extraordinary combination of
enormous railroad shows, and whose
announcement are causing the pub
lie to await its coming in anxious ex-
pectation, will positively reach Min
eral Point, Wednesday, July 23d.
The single fact that this colossal
combination requires more tents
than any other existing show, will
bear irrefutable testimony to it's com
paratiye immensity, and to the re-
tlecting mind comes the enigma:
How can a combination so vast and
one requiring, for It's daily expendi-
ture, such a necessarily enormous
outlay of money, ever take enough
money at its doors to make It's fnan-
cial success a certainty? We give
it up! But from The nerve its plucky
managers evince in assembling and
putting before the people show OF
such unprecedented magnitude, it
would seem that they are strong in
the belief that there is no limit to
public patronage when features are
piled on features and novel attrac-
tions are massed in such astounding
proportions, as the union Of their
various popular amusement ventures
have enabled them to accomplish
Miles Orton's enormous railroad
show is the only travelling tented
exposition in the world with fifty
cages Of living wild animals, and
with three Great Circus Rings.
