Norris & Rowe's Big Shows.

The coming to town of a tented ex-
hibition is always of more or less
importance to a large number of peo-
pie. The days of the sawdust arena,
popcorn and red lemonade are as well
come now as when Dan Rice, the fam
II clown, vas in the element of his
glory, twenty years ago. Since then,
however, conditions have changed and
the performance of the skillful gym
nasts and wonderful trained animals
of the present are a vastly different
proposition from the dinky circus of
old John Robinson's day. Show day
now means something more than an
excuse for parents to take the children
to see the elephant and laugh Ut the
jokes OF the painted clown. They are
educational events, especially when
the attraction is Norris & Rowe's
big shows, which Will be here soon.
Amusements of all kinds have had to
show great improvement during the
past decade to keep pace with the
times and to satisfy the constant cry
of the people for something new. 1t is
a well established tact that Norris
& Rowe's aggregation is the most
progressive show that exhibits in the
west. Each year that they have WIS.,
tied us they have shown great advance
ment both in magnitude and merit
and given their patrons more for their
money. This time they promise in
addition to the greatest trained animal
show in the world, a high class vaude-
vile and circus performance by a
carefully selected company of the
very best aerial gymuasts, tubblers
riders and Japanese acrobats and Jug
glers. The date of their exhibition
here is Tuesday, August 4.
