COUNTRY Is GROWING.
Immensely al the 4-Paw-sells Consolidated
shows Proves That Fact.

Immensely Of the 4-Paw-seils Conso lidate ed
shows Proves That Fact.
Historians have said that the last
decade OF every century is marked by
great activity, social upheavals, wars,
pestilences and other unusual things
being bound TO occur. This country
has had its war and with the glorious
results already known. The world is
growing better, and only dyspeptlc
pessimists will attempt TO maintain
that it is not. Improvement is the
order OF the age, and reverence for es-
tablished things outside of religion is
almost thing of the past. AS it is in
other walks of life, so it is in the
amusement world. Theatres are now
built at an expense that would have
made the managers of % years ago
stand aghast. Shows are conducted
upon plans OF such enormous magni-
tude that anyone who would suggest a
possible future existence, under the
present size and shape, only very few
years ago, would have been regarded
as visionary dreamer.
Perhaps there could be no better
illustration of these deductions than
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ers' great consolidation of circuses,
which will exhibit in Ionia, Tues
day, August Sth. Mr.. James A. Bailey
is one OF the directors of this new con-
solidation, and it is his purpose as we'll
as that Of the other operators to make
this consolidation take the place in the
Eastern country of the Barnum and
Bailey show. That it has been prop
erly equipped for such purpose there
can be no question. Its owners are
business men who would not take any
sort Of chance by placing an inferior
show before the country. When such
men state that their enterprise is the
largest ever known, their word may be
taken by the public in absolute reli-
ance. So ii is that there is more than
ordinary pleasure aroused in the an
nouncement of its coming, and it ought
to be, and doubtless will be, favored by
one OF the largest crowds that has ever
been seen in that CITY

Mr.. Ashbury determined TO have

thousand spectators Witnessed the frst
of these races. and lots Of money was
lost on the Cambria. which had been
loudly heralded. other races were run
