The Circus Coming.
THE GREAT BARNUM 81 BAILEY SHOW
SOON TO BE HERE.

Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show

mention some Of the prominent feat.
ures would occupy considerable space.
Suffice it that three rings, two elevat-
ed stages, huge racing track, and
another stage 400 feet long are requir-
ed to show the varied entertainment
comprising this years show. There
are menageries, hippodromes, triple
circus, horse fair, mystifying illusions,
and other features, and in addition
the great historical spectacle of Col
umbus and the Discovery Of America,
the latter alone representing I,2oo
characters, all of whom are on view at
one time. No other amusement en-
terprise carries SO many people and
has such complete arrangements for
their keeping. OF course hundreds
of people will be there to see the can.

the elephant as he marches with ma
iestic tread from the railway tracks to

There are many reasons why the ex-
hiDition this year is better than any
other that has preceded 1t, as the me-
nagerie is almost new and boasts every
strange and curious geological speci-
men, from the gawky camel to the
only genuine zebra that has ever bask-
ed beneath stars and stripes. There
is also in the collection the largest
Bengal tiger ever seen in America,
and he has been from his native jun
gle less than seven months. The cage
of lions has three male specimens,
from the face of one of which Sir
Alexander Pope made his painting,
which is row on exhibition in the
National Gallery OF Art in London.
Of the circus performance there is
also much to be said, and its strong
est claim is probably that the perform
ers are all champions. Among the
artists that have been brought ovel
are the most dashing and accomplish
euuestriennes ever seen in this country
The brilliant harmony of colors anc
artistic groupings in "Columbus" vii
cause to recur to the minds OF the
thousands who witness the show pleas
ant memories of the greatest triumph
of modern theatrical representations

has trained the ballet it will be known
that it is better done than any othe
