matters pertaining TO the big show
were discussed carefully, aud action
was taken in several matters Of Inn

II will be necessary TO have guaran-

chants will be asked 10 subscribe TO tho
fund. Il should be remembered that 1t
n 10 be a guarantee fund, and not O

they will not be called upon to pay out
any money.

In the ring makes him fitted Tor that
position better than anyone they could
have selected.
The Turner's class will give their ath-
letic exercises aa given at Mckeesport
this summer when they took the first
three prizes. IN
Messrs. Straub, Loos and Kober will
do their trapeze. horizontal bars, etc,
ETC., which will DO feature In itself. I,
The Merediths, now with harris
nickle plate circus will be here by that
time and will do their daring trapeze
act.
Tho ouadrille on horse back by
prominent young ladies and gentlemen
will BIO another taking feature.
The clowns will make up popular
portion OF tho performance and the
hippodrome races will be exciting and
funny.
: The side show freaks and concert
specialties arc coming in thick and last,
and when the list Ia complete the pub
lie will be surprised.
The parade committee promise the
largest turnout seen here for years and
besides the secret societies and the
many organizations that will DO IN line
the merchants will fit their wagons up
as cages and a certain portion OF the line
will DO given up TO the clowns and
funny business. Those gentlemen who
will solicit the guarantee fund will get
to work right away and after they have
secured the amount desired, o meeting
OF the various committees will BIO called
and rehearsals begun.
The date most likely to DO taken is
Thursday, October Is, tho came date
Barnum & Bailey had last year.
Thursday has been decided upon as
the day for several reasons, among
which Is the fact that It may rain on the
day set and the show could be post
poned to either Friday or Saturday.
Another Is that the selection OF Thurs.
day will give the whole butchers asso.
citation chance to turn out IN tho
parade, which they will undoubtedly do.
Tho tents will get here week ahead,
and BIO put up SO that number OF re-
hearsals can be had right in the ring.
