TWO FAMOUS SHOWS COMING.
The Famous Welsh Brothers Shows
CONFINED WITH
CHAS. LEES GREAT LONDON r. r. SHOWS
Showing under One Canvas for this Town Only
GREATER, GRANDER and MORE PRO
OIGIOUS THAN EVER.

There is no manner or form of enter
tainment that eXcites equal enthusiasm
N the hearts and minds of the children
as the circus, and this may be said
with much truth in regards to persons
of naturer years as well as those who
have grown gray with the weight of
wears. There is nothing that recalls
with more vivid presentation the en-
thusiasm and excitement of youth.
The sawdust ring with the healthy
smell of pine, fresh and invigorating.
The funny clowns, the trick donkeys,
the lemonade and peanut venders OF
early days pass in panorama before us
when the bill-boards, with fiaring
posters announce the coming circus.
The great tented shows of to-day do
not properly fill the bill. The present
giant aggregation under acres of can
vas produce confusion of acts in sew
eral rings and as many platforms with
multiplicity Of clowns, good, bad and
indifferent scattered promiscuously
around the hippodrome, bewilderlng
the vision and dstracting attention
In trying to see all no act is properly
seen. The Welsh Bros Shows recalls
We olden times more truly than any OF
the tented shows to-day; one ring, al
ter the fashion of early days, with the
truly funny clowns and long list OF
marvellous acrobatic, contortion, aerial,
trained animals and other acts follow
ing one another in rapid succession.
The Welsh Bros Shows, is iIl> sea-
son much brighter, better and larger
than ever before. 1t has always been
strict rule of Welsh Bros, to advertise
only what is presented. Another rule
which is stringently enforced on all
employees is, thorough politeness all
patrons under all circumstances. These
methods have been in vogue with these
enterprising showmen from the start
and have won for them the good will
and confidence of the public. Two
complete performances are given daily
afternoon and evening at , and o.
clock. The b e free street parade takes
place daily at lO:30 a. NJ, an all surpass-
ing, glittering pageantry. The show

will pitch tents at the old Fair Grounds
one day only, Monday July lst.
