The Walter l.. Main big three ring
circus, excellent menagerie and excit-
ing roman hippodrome is coming. 1t
will be at Middleburg this Saturday
sept. ~, 1903, in all its magnitude aud
glory. The Main shows are well and
most favorably known, but when the
Main shows we knew but few wears
ago are compared to the present aggre-
cation, it becomes evident that we
knew the show only in its infancy.
Year by year the show has been added
to and strengthened in every depart
ment until now 1t Is the largest and
best that visits this section of the coun-
try. This year Mr.. Main has under
contract a company Of performers that
4; /, utterly impossible to duplicate for
nlerltorlous acting. In fact any act
given under the spacious tent with any
other show would be feature. All
acts with the Main show are features.
for were they not they would not be
with it. The riders, jockeys, acrobats,
tumblers, gymnasts, jugglers, wire
walkerr clowns and specially people
are all head liners in the ranks from
which they were chosen. So numerous
are they that three rings, elevated
stage, spectacular nphitheatre, aerial
enclave, sporting plaza, athletic field,
race track, hippodrone and college of
faceit are required to display their
many accomplishments. Mr.. Main
has always enjoyed the reputation of
exhibiting only the very best, but this
season he has far outdone any of his
previous efiolts. The menagerie is the
largest and most comp etc ever assem-
bled and students of natural history
have pronounced it the finest. Not
only are the fully matured representa-
tives of the forests, mountains and
plains in evidence but tle infantile
specimens of ferocity, some of them
with their eyes not yet opened, are at
their mothers side. No better oppor
tunity to study natural history was
ever afforded than at this menagerie.
The cute little nursing baby camel and
ponderous infant water buffalo are
among the births in the menagerie this
season. Attendants are always in at
tendance and willing to answer polite
ly any question asked them. Tickets |
