Gentry Brothers Famous Shows,
comprising trained dogs, monkeys,
Shetland ponies, and baby elephants,
exhibited near the S. A. Smith COM
pany's plant Monday afternoon and
evening before large audiences, and
the performances are among the most
satisfactory that have been seen in
Brattleboro in many years. The ex-
cellent appearance of the animals was
alone worth the price of admission,
and as to their training, each animal
understood perfectly what was expect

was truly wonderful. The shows are
to be commended.
