Sells & Downs Circus Different.

The great Sells & Downs United Show,
which Is advertised to appear in Barre
Thursday July 9th, claims to be differ
emit from other shows, and, judging from
the great variety of features and at
fractions advertised, it will have no
trouble to convince its patrons that it
is very different from other tent shows.
After due reflection, the oft-repeated
sentiment, when you have seen one
circus you have seen them ALL" appears
very absurd. One might as well say,
when you have read one magazine you
have read them all" or "When you have
heard one lecture you have heard them
all" or "When you have seen one play
you have seen them all" or when you
have heard one band you have heard
them all" as to say, when you have
seen one circus you have seen them all. !"
A visit to the Sells & Downs Show
will convince the most skepticai that
such sentimental talk is foolish, without
foundation, and upon investigation it
resolves itself into an exaggerated abb
surdity. The Great Sells & Downs Shows
have horses, and so have other shows,
but the Sells & Downs Shows have
the best horses in the land. Other shows
have bands, acrobatic performers, riders,
etc., but they are all very different from
those with the Sells & Downs Show. 1t
pays higher salaries, and not only Sc
cures superior performers mentioned
above, but 1t has many novel, new and
mysterious acts that cannot be initiated
by other people successfully. Most of
the names and acts advertised by the
Sells a Down Show are to be seen only
with that show.
Those people in the community who
have not visited circus during recent
years because they supposed they were
all alike will do well to visit the Sells
& Downs Shows, and they will be most
agreeably and pleasantly disappointed
and they will be forced to admit that
the Great Sells & Downs Shows are
similar to others in but very few minor
points, and that, as whole, in quality.
quantity and character it is far different
from other tented concerns
The Great Sells s. Downs Shows will
positively exhibit for one day only in
Barre on Thursday, July 9th.
