Both of these attractions are known to
Savannah theater-goers. and are shows
worthy of the best patronage The sale
OF seats for "The Country Squire" will

Hon. Henry G. Turner will speak in the
theater.
A week from Wednesday, Barnum &
Balley's shows will be here. The exhi-
mtlon has been entirely changed from
what 1t was when last seen in Savannah.
10 mention, however briefly, the promi-
nent features would occupy considerable
space. Three rings, two elevated stages,
huge racing track and much novel aerial
apparatus are required TO show the va
rled entertainment comprising this years
new show There are menageries, hippo
uromes, triple circus, horse fair, Ethnolog-
lcal congress of strange people, and other
features. No other amusement enter
prise carries so many people and has
Such complete arrangements for their
Keeping. OF course hundreds of people
Will be there to see the canvas go up,
and get free glimpse of the elephant as
ne marches with majestic tread from the
railway tracks to the grounds. There
are many reasons why the exhibition
thls year is better than any other that
mas preceded it, as the menagerie is al
most entirely new and boasts every
strange and curious geological specimen,
from the gawky camel to the only genu-
me zebra that has ever basked beneath
tne stars and stripes. There is also in
Ine collection the largest Bengal tiger
ever seen in America, and he has been
from his native Jungle less than seven
months. The cage of lions has three male
specimens, from the face of one of which
or Alexander Pope made his painting,
winch Is now on exhibition in the Ma
uonal Gallery of Art in London. OF the
SlrcuS performance there is also much to
oe said, and its strongest claim is proba
u!y that the performers are all cham
plohS. Among the artists that have been
grought over from Europe are the most
udShlng and accomplished equestriennes
ever seen in this country. The Barnum
Bailey show has come to be one of
americas permanent institutions, and
merits more than the smiling reference
Caued out by the ordinary circus. 1t is
worthy Of serious thouRht--nOt only for
I'self' but more when one considers what
exceptional ability man must possess
VINO controls the entire army of men and
women who give the exhibitions The
SHOWS will be exhibited at East Broad
and Bolton streets
