BIG CIRCUS PARADE

Of Gollmar Bros. Reveals Its Character of Show. The Gollmar Brothers Show which exhibits in Rensselaer next Saturday, May 13, features everything connected with it, from the street parade to the concert. The press of other cities have made only the most favorable comment for Gollmar Brothers parade. Even when the show visits territory where it has never been, its magnificent street pageant so agreeably surprises the public that they are sure to crowd the immense tents.

It is in the parade that the management of a circus can show to good advantage the stability and character of the aggregation. If it is a cheap concern, giving only ordinary performances, its parade will tell the tale. If it is really meritorious the street display will demonstrate the fact. The splendid equipment of the great Gollmar Brothers Circus is shown to excellent advantage in the big parade, and it is always complimented. The horses are in fine trim, and the tableaux, wagons, dens, cages, and chariots are resplendently decorated with costly carvings, gilt and varnish. An unusually large number of dens are open in the parade, and the general public is given a free exhibition of a- fine array of wild animals. All in all, it is pronounced by many, the finest and best circus display even seen upon any streets. But it is in the circus performance that the show excels. ' .The parade of the Gollmar Brothers Show will start from the ball park at 10 o’clock sharp, and traverse the principal streets.
