The Great Wallace Shows Are Called the “Fashion Plate Shows.” Probably no paper in the United States bas roasted and adversely criticised as many shows of ail kinds as has the Examiner of San Francisco. Such is the reputation of the Examiner for its harsh treatment of shows that ‘‘press agents” keep their distance from its office. The morning following the first day’s exhibition, the San Francisco Examiner paid the following glowing tribute to the Wallace Shows, unsolicited: ‘‘We have been reading lately many complimentary oomments on the greatly increased size and unquestioned merit of the newly equipped Wallace shows, but were agreeably surprised yesterday, first by the magnitude of the show as a whole, as it arrived in sections on its elegently constructed trains, and again by its stupendous, clean and novel parade. A show never presented a more gorgeous pageant. We visited the grounds a second time on a business errand, and again met a surprise. The show is absolutely new throughout, tents at the afternoon performance were packed with visitors, and the circus program, for novelty, great features, comedy and real refinement, exoells anything San Francisco has seen in many years. The Examiner endorses the Great Wallace Shows to the world in general as the most meritorious they may possibly ever see, a real fashion plate show, if there ever was one.”

The Great Wallace show, whioh was enlarged and thoroughly reorganized this season, will exhibit in Rensselaer on Tuesday, August 27th.
