The Shamokin, I 'a., ltily News of
June 1 1, l'MHI, says: "The" street pa
rade was perhaps the biggest, bright
est and best that ever passed through
the streets of Shamokin. The horses
were fat and Meek, some great big
ones and some little tiuy ones, and
all to be admired. Three bands fur
nished exceptionally line music and
the gold decoruti-d wagons and daz
zling costumes of the performers,
the big herds of elephants and cam
el all went to make the pageant a
delight to every one of the hundreds
of happy spectator. j
"A large audience attended this!
the beholder The elephants which
dance, waltz and perform various
feat subject to the master mind of
their tramer, were pronounced to be
the best performing nerd ever seen
in this section. An admirable fea
ture was the six horse act. The rid
ing, driving and managing of ix
horse by I Gordon Orion is a moet
wonderful display of equestrian dar
ing. In fact, every ait presented was
of the highest order of excellence
and skill after it kind.
"Tae menagerie was one of the
largest and mcst comprehensive in
its make up ever brought into this
section.
"Taken as a whole, it is recog
nized as one of the greatest shows
that has ever visited the State and
such is the unanimous verdict heard
from many of the thousands who
tlocked into the city to see it."
