fair 10 exhaust all the novelties that itln
Grant shows can possibly muster. Messrs.
Spalding d Rogers, as will be seen by the
advertisement in another column, have
consolidated their three Circuses, each of
which, is singly probably the most extens-
i've and celebrated in the country. Their
Floating Palace Circus, from their pala-
tial steamers on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers; their new Railroad Circus, which
with their own cars conveying the entire
personnel of that singular establishment
they moved daily, train and all, from the
track on to the exebition grounds, and
which excited universal curiosity last year,
and their North American Circus, of late
years OF unexampled popularity in New
York and New England. and which West
ern people must recollect when on its last
visit West in 1919. In this overwhelm-
ing combination, they have three sets of
Performers, three sets of Clowns, three
setts of Ring Horses, and all the appurte-
nances upon a commensurate scale ofextent
and splendor. Otto hyle's famous Bugle
Band constitutes the orchestra, and will
usher in the establishment on the morning
Of arrivalin a new colossal chariot drawn
by forty horses, driven by that celebrated
knight of the ribbons, Major Champ.
The celebrated aronaut and wire ascen-
sionist, (of whom all others are mere i'm
itators) Mile Agnes, will make grand
aerial ascension at noon, up a slender wire
extended in midair from the ground to
the top of the centre pole outside the tent
Pantomine and spectacle will be interwo
ven with the sports of the circle inside, to
relieve the entertainment of the monotony
to which Circus performances are some
times liable. And the unexampled sight
of three distinct troupes of riders, gym
nastists and clowns, all under one Tent,
in friendly strife, in the presence Of the
audience, snd all for only one price of ad-
mission, will render the occasion the most
interesting that has ever occurred in con-
nection with public amusements in this re-
gion.
