qualified to cater most successfully for
the tastes of the people Three years
ago he inaugurated the spectacular
style of public pageant, and at the present
time no concern can make display upon
the streets in any way equal to Frenchs
Egyptian Caravan. His parade with the
camels, golden car, massive chariots,
Arabs, dromedaries, elephants, calvalcade,
lions exposed to the eyes of the people,
and the retinue of horses, ponies, monkies,
vans, cars and chariots, are said to make
demonstration at once sensational and en-
joyable. His performances are equal to
his external manifestations. lie has made
direct importations from Europe, Asia
and Africa, and is enabled to offer an en-
tertainment at once novel and attractive.
A troupe Of real Arabs contribute largely
to the gymnastc forces, while the monkey
circus rider, which is set forth as "Man-
drill as big as man." is introduced as
the latest o0t,e sensation. Miss Lucille
Watson, the young equestrienne, whom
the New York papers acknowledge to be
the best female rider in the profession,
has been engaged, while Mr. Charles Fish,
who is the only successful competitor of
the champion" James Robinson, is re-
tanned as leading rider. The rest of the
troupe are people Of merit, while all the
surroundings are in consonance with the
high character Of the programme and
those who contribute to its excellencies.
The whole affair is directly controlled by
Mr.. j. NJ. French, who recently imported
the monster elephant Empress" at an
expense of $50, 900, and she will be big
feature of the Great Show. Read the
