Year—Mr. Smith States That He Will Put on a Larger and
Much Better Show Than Ever Before Seen in Augusta.
Part of Receipts to Boys’ Home.
The Smfth (Treater Shows, that have

gagement on the fifth of April. These

he will put on a larger anil more inag
nlfleent show than heretofore, and will
do nil in his phwer to entertain the
public of Augusta by putting on some
•if the highest class shows In Ills lino.
The shows are better equipped than
ever before.
Mr. Smith has purchased a mag
nificent new organ and too much can
not be said of this instrument, as there
are only two of Its kind in the United
States.
The shows will be put up on the
corner of Campbell and Broad streets
and will extend out as far as Reynolds

us McCartan street, and again branch
ing nut to Broad.

The same high class manufacturers that produce our
men's clothing also make our boys’ clothes. The same
careful attention to cut and style is observed and the qual
ity of materials is such that is calculated to withstand the
heavier wear of the youngster and retain lines and shares.

ordinary. The animals in this show
are some of the very best in captiv
ity and are of the variety that are very
seldom seen In a show of its kind.
Tlie merry-go-round is a show In
Itself, being very large and literally
covered with lights. Everything from
the popeorn man to the big show will
be present and the cry of the spicier
will add mote enthusiasm to the
crowds.
The Smith Gre.iter Shows have been
making their winter quarters In Au
gusta for the past few years, they be
ing stationed on th* corner of Wash
ington and Calhoun streets, using the
Charleston and Western Carolina ware
houses as their storerooms, workshop,
and to house the large assortment of
animals, which belong to the show.
Mr. Smith has over two hundred and
fifty people on his payroll, but of
course all of these people are not kept
here during the winter, all but fifty
of them being sent to their respective
homes. These men are kept busy in
the workshops. No. not quite all of
them are kept there, either, as the
trainers have to he around the animals.
Mr. Smith has had a little hard luck
this winter. In the matter of losing
two of his most valued animals, a sea
lion ami a leopard. These two animals
died during the winter, the shows feel
ing tho loss greatly, as they were
among the rarest specimens obtain
able.
Everything is In ship-shape about
the quarters, there being a living car
In the train of seven cars which be
long to the circus.
The actors and showmen will soon
be in Augusta, and they for one wlil
make things hum in the amusement
centers.
A large automobile truck has boon
added to the shows and when this Is
not In use ns a truck will be used a,s
a band wagon and when in use will

about from place to place.
