ROBINSON AMUSEMENT co.
A Triumph of Excellence and En-
joyment.

King of carnival business, Dan
R. Robinson, will come to Sisters
vile attended by his famous ret
niue of funmakers in this city,
during the week beginning June
9Th to 18th inclusive. The enter
tainment will be in the shape OF a
free carnival and street fair, I'M
der the auspices Of Company A,
W. Va. National Guards, who
have contracted for the famous
Robinson Amusement company,
to furnish the attraction OF which
there will be at least four abso-
lutely free exhibitions upon the
streets showing twice each day
for the carnival week. The free
show will consist of Prof. Mic Car
ter. the daring and intrepid high
diver. This man actually dives
from a pedestal 40 feet in the
air. turns a backward somersault
in the air and enters a tank
which contains but three feet OF
water, which is a sight thrilling
in the extreme. Mile. Orocco IN
the spiral tower actually deties
all the laws of gravity by ascend
inc and descending in a spiral
tower. Evelyn Gray also gives a
daring exhibition in which IS
known as the fire rings. Another
of the attractions which will be
seen will be Aimee, the electrical
wonder. 1t is not necessary to 60
into details regarding Aimee, as
she is known in all metropolitan
cities where she plays every WIN
ter. In the palace OF mystery
will be seen great Hitler, the man
wonder midget of the age, who
has a reputation of being In the
same class with the late Hermann
and Kellar of present fame. In
this one can also witness Iunette
the flying lady, who actually
flies in mid-air. Then comes the
crystal maze, which is without
a doubt one of the greatest at
fractions, and also the great Lon
don ghost show, which has ere
ated a perfect sensation. Ut
course it consists of phantasma-
goria or weird spirits rolling,
walking and leaping in mid-air.
It is extremely mystifying and
keeps the audience laughing ev-
ery minute. One of the features
of the Midway is an absolutely
positive freak of nature, Big Will
lie. He weighs 754 pounds. This
famous exhibit possesses the face
of an Adonis poised on a frame
or body structure. No one should
miss this exhibit. 1t is indeed the
wonder of wonders. Following in
close pursuit to this excellent ex-
hibit mentioned comes "She,
the mystery taken from Rider
Haggard's great novel OF that
name. The glassblowers. Then
inside one can also see the baby
incubator with really live babies
inside in full view Of the audi
ence. Sampson, the largest snake
in captivity will be on exhibition,
and the manager Of this attrac-
ton signs statements by men IN
cities where he has been on ex-
hibition. that it is fact that they
have seen this monstrous reptile
eat twenty-four live chickens at
one meal. They also carry a Fer
ris wheel and a merry-go-round,
and many other attractions. 1t Is
guaranteed that all the attrac-
tions of the famous Robinson
Amusement company are abso-
lutely clean, moral and high class.
There will absolutely be no gam
bling or drinking allowed in any
of the tents. They have been COM
mended for their cleanliness and
morality. Excursion rates Will
be sold on the railroad for the
hin week.
