Il .s true that the size of the circus has IN
creased in proportion 10 the increased pop

Ii i stated that there is an exception 10
th., rule Of ancient circus customs in the
Banner Triune Shows. which is to give ex-
hihitions at Ellsworth on Friday, July 20.
The entertainment is consolidation of
G. i. Bunnell's Broadway Museum, the
New York Circus and Central Park Menag-
erie. Tie principal attractions Of the cele-
brated museum will be presented, among the
most noted of which will be found the Tat
tooed Lady. She is a living art gallery.
The pictures which clothe her perfect form
are indelibls portrayed upon her fair skin.
The long haired lady IS an object of interest
TO every one. She is tall, commanding and
beautiful. and her glossy, raven locks fall
around her like a veil and trail upon the
ground. Not the least of the mysterious
features is the three-headed songstress, real
live person who presents three heads with
but one body. The menagerie with lis hap
py family of merry monkeys, beautiful birds
and rare animals affords a pleasing subject
for the children.
The circus proper has for its features the
celebrated Alice Mcdonald, Scotland's fa-
nous equestrienne, James Cooke, Robert
Whitaker. William GAYLORD, VI. Charvat the
Hercules Gaffney, and a host of arenie tai
