A COLOSSAL c COMBINATION.
The Noted Eorepaugh.selIs SHOW

The Noted FOrepaugh-Sells Show is
Now of Unprecedented Size.
1t would puzzle some people to know
how a show can be run upon much
larger scale than the ones with which
we have been accustomed during the
past three years, but 1t seems that the
great consolidation of the Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers shows has
produced a concern of altogether un-
precedented size, and 1t is said by the
press Of New York. where 1t began It's
tour this season, that Its merits cor
respond with It's great size.
Some idea Of the strength OF the pro-
gramme may be had from glance over
the following. The equestrian con-
tIngent of q circus Is always the basic
one. With this concern 1t is Of extra
ordinary strength and is headed by the
new champion, Stick" Davenport. 1t
is promised that this man is going to
create positive sensation by the In
PRODUCTION OF feats Of bareback horse
manship that have never before been
attempted even by himself. Other
male riders are William German, who
rides and drives n thirty-five horse
team in a hurdle race: Oscar Lowande,
William DeMott and Sam Bennett.
The female riding contingent is head
ed by Emma StIckney, daughter Of the
famous Robert Stickney; Marietta
Corriea, May Davenport, Minnie Costel-
10, Rose Devene and Leona Bonnie.
Among the riders is also Walter Lowe,
known as the prairie horseman, and
the Individual champion rough rider Of
the world. Miss Lowe, his sister. will
also give an exhibition that will make
most of the cowboys sick with envy.
Then there are the Jackson family
and William Schaar. champion trick BIZ
cycle riders; four famous families Of
acrObats, including both men and wo-
men: the Millettes, the Damans and
the Devenes; the Melrosas. who ride BIZ
cycles on high wires; the company Of
thirty champion leapers, headed by
William Vandee, Albert Howe, Peter
Bell and Patrick Kelly; the champion
contortlonist OF the world, Paul Bra

Il sensation; the Wolfe Brothers, cham-
plon Vaulters; Stirk and Anita. gym
nasts, and the Incompatible aeriallstic

He has been in Mexico for two years and
knows whereof he twinlHles. He says:
My brother can stick TO silver, but
don't want any of it. l have lived in
country where one can see the practical
workings of the silver standard. One of the
specifications in my contract with the own
ers of the Minas Pritas is that l be paid
in gold, and l think that nearly all Ameri-
cans employed in Mexico demand the same
thing. The Mexican dollar is worth only
5212 cents now, and | would not care to
bring a barrel of silver across the line and
find II worth less than half what | took
il for. 1t takes a hatful of silver to buy
anything down there. Gold is worth 81 II

opinion, gold is the only true standard, and

would be greatly improved by adopting it."
