Returning Summer brings no more attractive feature than the annual visit to the circus. The familiar smell of the sawdust, the sight of the time-honored ring, the glitter of spangles and uniforms, and the blare of the brass band act like a tonic upon the amusement seeker weary with theatricals and disgusted with farce. The circus is the place to renew one’s lost youth, with its illusions, its easily gratified tastes, and eagerness to be pleased. You will go this year and next just the same, and enjoy it with the same heartiness.
Hunting’s New Rail Road Shows will exhibit in Norwood on Ball Grounds on July 15th this year.
Mr. Hunting has reduced the prices of admission to his excellent show to the unprecedented prices 10 and 20 cents. Adults 20 cents, children under twelve 10 cents, and reserved seats 10 cents extra.
