GENTRY BROTHERS SHOW IS COMING
EASTERN AND WESTERN SHOWS UNITED AND
MANY NEW AND NOVEL FEATURES ADDED.

Brothers Famous Shows, United.
In this merging of the two tented ex-
hibitions the familiar features which
have increased the popularity of the
Gentry shows for many years are re-
tanned and while the children and
"grown-ups" who attend during the
two performances given in Hamilton
will again be delighted by the remark
able intelligence shown by the ponies,
dogs and monkeys, the united shows
will present several features not
hitherto asso ciated with the name of
Gentry.
The stellar feature of all features
this season is the original Mrs. Gen.
Tom Thumb, widow of the famous
Gen. Tom Thumb and present wife of
Count Primo Magri, to whom she was
married 18 years ago. With this in
teresting couple will be the counts
brother, Baron Msgri, the trio hold
ing receptions from a platform just
inside the main entrance each after
noon and evening prior to the perform
ance. Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb is un-
doubtedly the most widely known
"diminutive" before the public, with
whom she has been on speaking terms
for nearly so years.
Also with the Gentry shows this
season will be a herd of trained
elephants, whose elephant band and
elephant supper contribute JOY to the
performance, herd of baby camels,
trained pigs, sheep, geese and other
animals, all giving substantiation to
the claim that as now constituted
the Gentry Brothers shows have the
finest trained animal exhibition in the
world.
| On Tuesday morning August 81, the
Gentry shows street parade, nearly a
mile long, will leave the show ground
and traverse the principal streets.
