LARGEST ANIMAL ON EARTH.
Sparks World Famous Shows
are billed to exhibit at Woodsville
Saturday, July 6, and from the
newspaper reports preceding
them their exhibition will be
worth going many miles to wit
ness.
Among the many features the
show carries is what is claimed to
be the largest land animal on
earth. 1t is an elephant said to
be three inches taller than Jumbo
and a half ton heavier.
This monstrous animal was inn
ported to this country from Africa
and became the property of the
Sparks Shows after the payment
of the enormous sum of $4,000.
This mammoth brute, strange to
say, has a most docile disposition
and enjoys nothing better than to
have the crowds stand around
her.
Some idea of her immense size
can be obtained when you con-
slider that she is IL feet Z inches
tall and weighs over five tons. In
other words she weighs as much
as ten ordinary horses.
MANY other wonderful things
are to be seen with this mammoth
show, and the performance be-
meath the big tents will present
a number of the most marvellous
foreign acts of the century Male
and female riders, gymnasts, ac-
robats, leapers, tumblers and aer-
al artists will present their var
.ous death defying acts. Lions,
tigers and other ferocious wild
animals will be turned loose in
big steel enclosures and made to
1bey the commands of their keep
ers, giving a wonderful exhibition
Of mans superiority over the
brute creation. Twenty OF the
worlds funniest clowns will be on
hand to cause merriment.
A mile long parade Of dazzling
splendor, beautiful women, hand
some horses, interspersed with
.hree brass bands and a steam
,aliope viii traverse the streets
about noon and this feature alone
will be worth going many miles
10 see.
Don't forget the date and the
place Of exhibition, WoOdsville,
July 6.
