Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 88, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 April 1913 — As Menagerie and Circus Ringling Bros. Show is Great. [ARTICLE]

As Menagerie and Circus Ringling Bros. Show is Great.

Quite a number of Rensselaer people have seen Ringling Bros.’ show at the Coliseum in Chicago this year and all have found it interesting both as a circus and menagerie. The old saying that “all circuses are alike,” can not apply to Ringling’s, which this year bristles with many new features delightful to old and young alike. With generosity that shows the interest Ringling Bros, take in the education of the young, they are. undertaking to have all the school children of the city see the show and when accompanied by teachers they are admitted free. The zoological study thus offered is very helpful and the children are taking a deep interest in every feature, and when the large array of clowns make the rounds with boxes of candy for the school children there are prolonged rounds of applause. The circus is worthy a trip to Chieago to see. It will be at the Coliseum for another week.
