568 THE ISTEW YORK CLIPPER. November 3. RINGLING BROSl TRIUMPH TEXAS THIS WORLD'S GREATEST SHOWS. Tl WIIERS OF EMY BAHLE FOESHT ON TIE FIELD OF rOFELAl APFROVAL. This Time Tliey Win Their Laurels in the Lone Star State. Tents and seating capacity enlarged and extra performances given to accommodate the multitudes of Tezans who recognize in the Ringling Brothers* Shows an institution supremely different from the concerns that have been doling out from year to year their scanty mite of amusement in the great Southwest. Y The 25-cent shows are doing pretty well'-for them—at advanced prices. But the people sniff a Xorthern breeze that tells them the little fellows are doubling on their "two-bit" Northern Rate. But in answer to the call of the World*s Ghreatest they come in shoals like fish, in swarms like bees, in flocks like birds, in regiments like armies, to the show of features. All Texas has been brought out of doors and under canvas to see the Ringling Brothers' Shows. A circus boom has struck them down in the Sunny Southwest such as they have never known before. They have grown tired down this way of balloon ascensions and want a real show. They recognize their ideal in the Ringling Brothers* Great Show of Features, and attest their appreciation by daily visits in numbers of tens of thousands. They observe the Newness, Brightness, Magnificence and Greatness of the show, and answer in multitudes four fold over and beyond the chary patronage extended to others now in Texas. .
