Olyphant, Pa,, is the fifty-sixth stdnd billed for the Walter L. Main Circus on ts 1924 tour; it is the fifty-fifth consecutive stand in the State; on twenty-seven of the fiity-s x days there has been rain; the car has iot been late and has not missed billing the show stand or country routes on a single day s.nee leaving Havre de Grace, Md., April 5, Wiltard’s bors have billed Shenandoah, Va., for the first circus it has had in twelve years. A record perhaps not equaled by any adversing car fm cireus history is the billing of eight different cities in one county as exhibition stands for the same circus in one season, and Within a period of six weeks, and five of these cities in one week The eight cities are in Schuylkill County, Pa., and all good exhibition stands, viz.; Mahaney City was billed for May 6, Ashland May 8, Shenandoah June 16, Frackville June 17, Minersville June 18, Schuylkill Haven June 20, Tamaqua June 21, Pottsville was billed for May 5. These cities range in populatien from six to thirty thousand and are within a radius of twenty-five miles; all connected by street car lines, and the county has a population of more than 218,000. The Main Cirenus is billed in every city, village and comwry in Schuyikill County for the five exhibit on stands, ending with Tamaqua for June 21 The beys challenge any cireus advertising crew to show a similar record for one county.
