The Big Show Is Here And the Big Crowd Also.

The Hagenbeck-Wallace show is here and there is a big crowd here- to see it. By 5 o’clock this morning about 500 people had gathered at the depot to witness the unloading of the big cars and the animals. There was a lot of running up and down the track and a tiresome watt before the cars were set into position and the unloading begun. But the crowd stuck with it and others kept coming until they stretched along the track for two or three blocks. This is the first time a show has struck Rensselaer for three years and the people were circus hungry. By 7 o’clock rigs began to arrive the country and to all appearances a record breaking circus crowd will witness the afternoon performance.
