WORLDS STRONGEST WOMAN
Ada Bell Edwards the Australian
Amazon With Big Circus


Ada Bell Edwards. known as the
Australian Amazon" and undoubted-
ly the strongest woman in the world
will be seen in Bennington on Thurs
day August 4th with the Great Ad-
am Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Big
United Shows.
This wonderful woman can best be
described by explaining a few OF her
accomplishments. She can lift 300
pound dumbbell above her head with
the use of but one hand. She can
set her teeth into leather strap fas-
tened to a barrel of water, and lift
! the whole thing solely by the
strength of her Jaws and her back.
She can bend silver dollars with her
fingers. She can take a spike in her
hand and plunge it through two
inch board.
The acrobatic features of this
show are all new to this country. Be
sides Miss Edwards there are many
others equally skillful in other direc-
tons. On the long list Of this class
Of entertainers there is not one old
name. Every great troupe and fam
lily from the amphitheatres of Europe
and Asia have been secured for this
Years recognized show. For in
stance there is the Karl Handley
troupe the celebrated Avalon com
pany the aul Alvarez trio, the Hines
Kimball family and the Pinchelottes
all names that for many seasons have
been set in bold type in the amuse-
ment ads of Europe.
Karl Handley and his company are
the greatest equillbristic hand bal
ancers in the world; the Hines Kim
balls are champion acrobats of Eur
,ope; the Pinchelottes are the highest
paid performers that ever came tC
this country-and so on, through the
long role of honor they are all the
best in their individual specialties
The riders, clowns, aerialsts, riders
and all the other various kinds OF
performers have been chosen with
the same care exercised in the selec
ton OF the acrobats. Among the 35(
artists scarcely score were eyel
seen IN this country before this sea
