WALLACE-HAGENBECK CIRCUS IS COMING TO RENSSELAER.

First Menagerie and Circus Since Same Show Visited Our City on August 23rd, Three Years Ago. The big circus is coming. The Wallace-Hagenbeck show, one of-the biggest on the road .and popular in Rensselaer, will be here on Saturday, July 30th, and exhibit in the east end of the baseball park. H. L. Massey, the advance agent, arrived here Wednesday and was piloted about the town by former mayor, J. H. S. Ellis. He decided that Rensselaer was the place to draw a big crowd and learning that there had been no show here since the visit of his own circus on August 23rd, 1907, he decided that ihe people in Rensselaer and hereabouts would be sufficiently circus hungry to turn out in great numbers. Mr. Massey states that the WallaceHagenbeck show Is bigger and better than ever before and is drawing great throngs and delighting them. It is not the same old ciggus, the kind that when you have seen one, you have seen them all, but during the past three .years numerous new features have been added and now the circus is practically all new since the last visit.

The first advertising car and crew will be here Saturday and will spread bills and posters all over Rensselaer .and all up and down the line from Monon to Lowell. Another car will follow and bills will be posted at Remington, Wolcott, Goodland and other points. The show will be in Monticello the day before it comes to Rensselaer and will go from here to Hammond.
