GREATLY ENLARGED. The Sparks Shows Wonderfully Enlarged and Improved Since Their Last Visit to This City. The excellent reputation left by the Sparks Shows on former visits to this city would alone insure a liberal patronage this time, but the lusty growth and vast improvements in the show since its last visit will make it more attractive than ever. , Sparks is a man of energy and enterprise, wide experience and ample i capital, and he has brought all this to be;ar in making 'his show superior to all similar exhibitions. He has. a brand-new train of monster railroad cars built especially for him, all new gorgeous cages, dens, costly drappings, etc. He has engaged the best talent big salaries can procure. He has expended over $40,000 in increased equipment. Every effort has been made regardless of cost to make his show satisfying to his pride and advanced ideas. That he has succeeded is amply proven by the way the newspapers speak of his exhibition wherever he has appeared. It is the universal verdict that he has now the most splendid, complete and high-class exhibition of its kind in America. Everyone should come to town in i time to see the gorgeous street parade at 1 0:30 a. m., and then follow the crowd out to the show grounds where some big free exhibitions are scheduled to take place just previous Ito the opening of the doors to the i main tent.—-Advertisement.
