terially increased.
Eleven more cars have been added to
the Wallace trains AS these cars are of

Wallace Circus purposes to retain its
place in the very foremost rank of tented

Several exclusively new and original fea-
lures have been added and though the
Wallace Show has always presented a

sent an unusually attractive program.
