cIared to be a misnomer in many in
stances and the investigators are
without information in most cases as
to the specific duties the men are
supposed to perform. The inspectors
are divided into 68 classes and had
an aggregate pay roll last year Of

The Sparks Show

The managers of the John III. Sparks
Shows claim that they have the HIGHEST
class, cleanest, and best exhibition of the
kind travelling. Twenty years Of cxperi-
ence, with ample capital and INTELLIGENT
management have combined 30 produce
this result. That their claims are well
founded seem 10 be proven by the follow.
ing extracts from late newspapers:
The Mount Vernon Daily Banner SAYS:
THE John III. Sparks Shows exhibited
here Wednesday and many people were
turned away, the big tents being packed
at each performance. This was no doubt
owing TO the popularity which this show
has achieved here on previous visits. They
more than sustained their reputation. as
the show IL even better than ever. IL has
been considerably enlarged, with many
new acts and features, and all were ex-
cellent. Mr.. Sparks will have 10 enlarge
his seating capacity if lac comes 10 this
city again"
The GAINESVILLE Enterprise says: Great
crowds hugely enjoyed the two perform
ances given by the Sparks Shows last
Monday. The show has had quite n
growth since il was here before, and IL Is
generally agreed that it is the best exbi-
bition of the kind that ever came 10
GAINESVILLE"
The Hillsboro, Ohio, News-II Herald says
ITO say that the show was up 10 the
usual Sparks standard would alone be n
strong recommendation but il was really
better than ever before. They have a
Square deaf reputation here, and the
crowds that tested the capacity Of the
tents II the best possible evidence that
the people Of this vicinity know a good
thing when they see it,"
If more were necessary, we have hun
drcds in similar strain from every sec
ton Of the United States.
The John H. Sparks Shows will ex-
hibit at kingwood June 3, and no one
should miss this opportunity Of seeing this
famous show
