The announcement of the coming to
Allentown Wednesday, Sept. %, of the
Great London Circus & .Menagerie is creating
an enthusiasm and interest seldom seen in
that locality. Among the novelties announc-
ed is team of ordinary working cattle, or
oxen, which perform Incredible feats of mil
itary drill marching by right and left flank,
building up pyramids on towering Pedes-
tails, teetering on bUards, and leaping over
one another with the agility of the stag. In

brutes obey the voice of their teacher with a
degree of intelligence equal to the horse.
And these are but an infnitismal portion Of
the overwhelming multitude Of attractions.
