WORLDS GREATEST RIDERS.

Among the many recognized distinct
i've features of Ringing Brothers Worlds
Greatest Shows, which will be seen in all
their unparalleled completeness in St.
Johnsbury, Monday, Aug. IA, high class
riding acts have always been given
foremost place in this as in many others;
the managers OF this world famous ex-
hibition have given striking evidence of
their generosity in dealing with the pub
lie. 1t has always been the avowed pol
icy of Ringing Brothers to not only
present every advertised feature, but
also to engage only the best and high
priced talent in all branches. The riders
are the best that could be secured here
or abroad. In number they surpass
those Of all other exhibitions, while, be-
ing selected from the best in the profess
sion, other shows have been compelled
to content themselves with performers
whose abilities were not up to the stand
ard required by this great amusement
enterprise. In the long list of eques-
trienne novelties presented by Ringing
Bros. this year, Miss Josie Ashton takes
the place of honorA This young eques
trienne is the sonifcation of grace
named the queen of the arena. Miss
Ashton's acts cannot be duplicated, and
her weekly salary would pay the entire
expenses of many an ambitious show
Among the other great riders is Mike
Rooney, one of the youngest but al
ready the greatest of Americas great
bareback riders. Then there are Orrin
Hollis and Chas. Fish, whose somer-
saults, turned with equal facility for
ward or backward, have never been
equaled. Lottie Aymar's beautiful rid
ing act constitutes an effective feature
so does that Of the Ross Sisters, two
young and graceful equestriennes. The
hurdle riding of Vim. Devan and Leon is
an exciting novelty, and half score of
other riders Of reputation contribute to
this feature of the programme. The best
aerialists, the high priced gymnasts, the
most notable specialists in all depart
ments; the largest and most extensive
nenagerie in the world; the grandest
entree; the most exciting hippodrome
races, and the best, biggest, brightets,
most respondent procession ever seen
upon the public streets, are among the
features for which the worlds greatest
shows are renowned.
