where they received the visiting la

During the afternoon there were
speeches by Mr.. j NJ Parker, Mr..

1.-THE CIRCUS BEAUTIFUL
Water Proof Tents--RaIn will Not
Spoil the Exhibition.

/
A sudden downpour of rain or a long
| continued drizzle will have no effect on
the patrons of the great Sells Foto Shows
when IL exhibits here. The reason of this
will be apparent to everyone who sees
the huge tents that will be erected here
for the performance. they are all con
structed Of "mercerzed" ducking. This
marvellous invention for the waterproofing
OF material has been in use for rain coats
but up TO this year has never been used
for tents. People who have used "msrce-
rized' cloth know how it sheds water.
and It was the knowledge of this that
caused the Sells Floto shows to have all
their tents made out Of this material. II
is quite stride in advance of other
shows, but is only in keeping with The
progressiveness of the management of
these shows. Beneath these tents spec
tatofs can sit in comfort and ease during
the heaviest Of rains and be as dry as If
In the finest theater IN the country. This
Is only one OF the many novelties that
have been added to these shows this seq
son.
IL is respectfully suggested the children
attend the afternoon exhibition, where
ample time is given to view the large
nepagerie, likewise avoiding the night
crowds. Uniformed ushers will attend |
