Great ReiSS Carnival Is
 Back Again
Gigantic Amusement Organization Re turns to New Mexico After Hav-
 ing Toured Entire Nation

Those who visited the territor- ial Fair at Albuquerque during the years 1904 and 1905, when amusement features of the fair reached high stage, will be sure to remember the great Nat Reiss Carnival Company which held sway as one of the main attrac- tions. There never has been a carnival aggregation at any sub sequent fair equal to the Reiss shows, for the simple reason that they are the greatest shows of their kind on earth.
 Since 1906 Reiss has been tour ing other parts of the country and has not been available tor the fair This year, however, they has been secured for the fair, making a jump from the far northwest in order to get here. Secretary John B. McManus of the Fair Association travelled all the way to Deadwood, $. D., to get the Reiss shows and succeed ed. The aggregation since 1t last appeared in New Mexico has vis- ited every state in the union and has been growing right along It is now the biggest carnival com panv in the world, with fifteen separate and distanct shows, in- cluding a genuine one-ring circus, and three sensational free acts w hich will be seen each day on the streets of Albuquerque dur ing the fair. The mere fact that 1t is the Reiss Company assures the best Carnival attractions the fair association has ever been able to secure.
