The performance given here by
Gollmar Bros circus last Wednesday
was largely attended at both after
noon and evening performances and
were in every respect first class. This
has been Gollmar Bros third visit
to our city and they always brought
Il good show. but since their last visit
the show has been enlarged to twice
its former size and undoubtedly
makes them one of the leading shows
of the world. The menagerie alone
which is to see is worth the price of
admission. The performance under
the monster three ring tent was of
high order and appreciated by the
large crowd. The street parade which
took place at 10 a. m. was grand
display and worth coming miles to
see. The proprietors are all gentle
men, kind courteous and deserve the
large patronage they are receiving
