NEXT FRIDAY THE BIG DAY.

Immense Crowd Will Greet the Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows. Next Friday will be circus day, and from the present indications Rensselaer will entertain one of the largest crowds in tbe history of the city. Large delegations are

expected from all the nearby towns and all reports from the country districts is to the effect that “everybody is coming.” Rensselaer has long borne the reputation

of being a good circus town, and to judge from what the Indianpolis papers say of Hngenbeck and Wallace Circus no one will be disappointed if they come here next Friday. Not only the show but the street parade is highly praised. The trained wild beasts are said to be a wonderful feature.

The Wallace Sh ow s alone alone have alw a y s pleased herein the past. Tbe circus features have always been high class and the horses tbe finest carried by any circus. By

uniting with the Hagenbeok show Mr. Wallace now has a circus twice as large as he has ever carried before and with a feature no other show can approach in the wonderfnl wild animals. . It has been four years since the Wallace Shows were here last and the return of the Indiana showman with what is now the largest circus in the world will be an event long to be remembered by amusement lovers. Two performances will be given, at two and

eight p. m. The doors will be open one honr earlier. The price of admission will be fifty cents for adults, and an innovation will be a down-town seat sale at which tickets can be secured on show day at the same price charged at the ticket wagon. This seat sale will bo located at Jessen’s Jewelry store.
