NINE FAMOUS NELSON'S.
This Celebrated AcrObatic Family
with Ringing Bros Circus.

This Celebrated AcrObatic Family
with Ringing Bros Circus.
Among the hundreds of remarkable fea-
lures identified with Ringing Bros
worlds greatest shows this season, espec-
ial attention is called to the marvellous
acrobatic troup known all over the world
as the uine famous Nelson's. Among all
the remarkable acrobatic families which
the arena has served to introduce to the
circus-loving people of America, there
has never been a troupe that could in any
way compare with these superb perform
ers. They not only achieve all the feats
essayed by other famous acrobatic celeb
rites, but they also introduce displays
of skill daring and startling precision
such as no other performer or family of
artists has ever accomplished. They defy
all the known laws of gravitation and
equilibrium, and they do it with skill
and rapidity bewiidering to the spectators.
The troupe comprises six men and three
young ladies, each an accomplished artist,
and all admirably endowed by nature for
the part taken in the general perform
ance. A striking feature of the perform
ance given by these marvellous acrobats,
is the fact that the gentlemen wear even
ing costume and the ladies long skirts,
and thus attired, turn single and double
somersaults, on the ground, or from
shoulder to shoulder, and perform num-
berless other incredible feats with an
ease and grace that stamps them as the
greatest acrobats in the world The alb
solute faith reposed by Ringing Bros. in
the unapproachabie and unequaled char
acter of the performance given by these
famous acrobats, is such that they have
issued a $4,000 challenge to the proprietors
of all other shows to produce their equal.
This, however is impossible, for their
peers have never existed; and, perhaps,
never viii exist. The amount of money
paid weekly to these great artists would
pay the entire operating expenses OF many
a show of more than ordinary preten-
sions, and yet the Nelson's are only one
of many acrobatic and other features pre-
scented to the public by this most liberal
and lavish management. The Leroy
troupe of acrobats, the three Provost
brothers, the brothers Herman, and
many other high class, high salaried aero
bats, gymnasts, tumblers and contortion-
lists, form a galaxy of talent in this de-
partment that no other exhibition can
ever hope to approach. The aerial, eques-
trian, trained animal and racing features
of the show are also notably complete; the
opening tournament, gorgeous, dazzling
reproduction of the ancient Grecian festi-
val Of Olympus stands alone as the most
costly, the most brilliant and the most
stupendous Introductory spectacle ever
presented with an arenic exhibition; while
even Rome, in It's days of greatest power
and most voluptuous splendor never
witnessed the sports, contests and racing
glories of the hippodrome upon grander
scale of magnificence than will be shown
upon Ringing Bros great quarter-mile
racing course during the performances to
be given by this world-famous show in Sa-
vannah the coming Friday, Nov. 6.
