GOLLMAR SHOW COMING TO RENSSELAER, MAY 13TH.

Big Road Circus Which Gave Good Satisfaction In 1906 Will Be Here Two Weeks From Saturday. The advance agent for Gollmar Bros.’ circus was here this Wednesday morning and begun preparations for the visit of that circus to Rensselaer on Saturday, May 13th, two weeks from next Saturday. This show was in Rensselaer five years ago, exhibiting in the lo.ss adjoining the Monnett school for giyls. It gave splendid satisfaction at that time and many pronounced it the best show that ever visited this city. While not so large as others it is of a high order and ranks \?ith the good road circuses.' This year it will exhibit in the ball park. The first advertising car will reach here Saturday of this week and begin bill posting. Mr. Ramey, the advance agent, rented the ground for the show, contracted with J. H. S. Ellis for the bill posting, arranged for the newspaper advertising and for the livery rigs to do the outside billing. This is about the first time Rensselaer ever had a big show in the spring of the year.
