GOLLMARS’ BIG CIRCUS COMING.

The Gollmar Brothers big railroad shows will exhibit here on Tuesday July 31st. This same show was here two years ago, on Sept. sth, 1904, giving two exhibitions and in the character, quality and magnitude of which it came as near coming up to the promises of the bills as any show that was ever here. It also presented a splendid street parade. A most commendible feature of the management of this show is that it keeps out all fakers and gamblers and short change men, and the rough and tough element generally, which is so prone to be found with circuses, and with some of which they are a regular part of their business. The Gollmars had a rattling good and big show two years ago and by all accounts it is still bigger and better now. We do not suppose that it is the “greatest show on earth” but taka it all in all we doubt if there is now any other as good which exhibits in towns the size of Rensselaer.
