THE CIRCUS ZOO IS EXTRA FINE

Wonderful Menagerie Found With the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus. One of the things in which the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace circus has always excelled is in its menagerie. Carl Hagenbcek, the noted Gorman animal man, was the first parson who ever succeeded in breaking and subduing wild animals for a public performance. He startled the world half a century ago with his intelligent, yet man-eating beasts. At each world’s fair that has been held in the United States in the past forty years the Carl Hagenbock wild animals have always furnished the stellar attraction. Each year since the consolidation of the shows, the Carl HagenhockWallacc circus has grown. All of the wild animals of the show arc under the direction of the Htagonbecks. Only the choicest specimens are seen, others are disposed to smaller circuses and zoos. * /,. .

But the Hiagonbeck animals only form one department of the combined shows. The Great Wallace circus stall excells as the highest class circus in the world. The performance is given in three rings and two elevated Stages. More til nan 400 noted artiste that represent almost every country on the globe will be seen with the circus in Rensselaer on Saturday, Aug. sth.
