The Great Wallace Circus.

The Great Wallace Show, which is to exhibit in this city recently visited at Columbus, Ohio, where the excel'ence of the show pleased big crowds. The Columbus Journal said: “Columbus had ideal ci r c us weather Friday,

and the Great Wallace Shows gave the citizens an ideal circus entertainment. The general verdict of the thousands of people who had the pleasure of witnessing the exhibitions in the afternoon and evening in that the Wallace shows are in the front rank of first-class tented entertainments, and as caterers to the amusement-loving public the management is in a class by itself. “At the afternoon performance the big tent was filled to its capacity. . But all records were broken at the night exhibition. The crush was se great that it became necessary to close the doors twenty minutes before the performance began and fully 4,000 people were refused admission. That the large crowd was greatly pleased with the performance was shown by the hearty applause which greeted every number on the long program. The Great Wallace Show will exhibit in Rensselaer, on Tuesday August 27th.
