RiNGLING,s CIRCUS.
Ihe Route of Its Parade Ia An
nOunced.

on st Paul ,ail will shortly, be afforded an
opportunity TO see the largest combin-
eU circus, menagerie and hippodrorne
OF the present day. 1t seems odd thai
Lhls great exhibition has never been
r nere' Dut ~ is a fact nevertheless that
i neNt IueSday 1t will make its inival
DOW TO the circus-goers of this city.
II mas recently come from the most
tTlumphal tour ever made by a tented
snoW t IN the Eastern country, and al
most with one accord the press in
the very home of the Barnum show
pronounced it vastly superior to any
thlng Barnum & Bailey had ever Of
Iered RMS had been conceded through
OUT the west, and it is no little VIC
tory for Western circus to be award
ed such a verdict at the hands of New
England. The Ringlings employ more
people, own more horses, have a finer
geological exhibit, the best arenic per
formances ever given in this country
ana the great Liberati band. which is
beyond question the finest musical or
gan1zation that has ever Travelled with
In the country
AT o'clock next Tuesday morning
the new mllllona1re street pageant will
leave the grounds at ST. Adams street
ana University avenue and observe
the following route: University ave
nue. and Wabasha street to East Sum
init avenue; to Cedar street; to East
Seventh street; to Robert street; to
Seventh street to Sixth street; along
Sixth street to Nelson avenue; to Far
rington avenue; to Dayton avenue; to
Dale street; to Fuller street and show
grounds.
The public must not expect to see
Liberau and his band in the street pa
rade, nor hear them during the circus
performance. Their contract only calls
Tor them to play in the concert preced-
ing each exhibition, and those who de-
sire to hear this superb band will have
to be in their seats before the circus
commences. Signor Liberati also in
PRODUCES some of his famous cornet
solos at these concerts. No extra
charge is made for this feature, al
though it is we'll worth the price of adj
mission asked for the entire show.
mencing at and p. M, and the doors
will open one hour earlier for an in
spection of the menagerie and the
Liberati concert. Tickets will be sold
at the music store of w. J. Dyer &
Bro, No. q West Fifth street, at pre-
cisely the same prices as charged ON
the grounds. The usual slight adj
vance demanded by other shows for
town is frowned upon by the Ring
lings, whose policy is to protect the
public from all kinds of extortion.
The menageriSe is sin in itself a sight
wild animals that have, ever been
brought to this city. The two lion
eSseS with their cubs are alone sight
worth seeing, and the baby elephant is
without doubt the most interesting
specimen that has been seen here.
There are wonderful specimens of the
zebra, as there are also of the tiger,
panther, aux, giraffe and dromedary
in this menagerie, and perhaps not the
least interesting is the happy fam
ily''
But the SHOW itself is what is real
ly astonishing, for it is almost impos-
sible to describe 1t, there is so much
going on in the three rings, or rather
the two rings and the variety stage
in the center. Such numbers of clowns,
acrobats, tumblers, tight-rope walk
ers, performing animals, bareback rid
ers. tight-rope walkers, characters
and living pictures as are to be seen
at this circus would be almost impos-
sible to describe.
The horse racing in the latter part
of the programme is more than excit-
ing, and the chariot racing brings for
chilly to ones mind the celebrated
scene from ben Hur."
The whole show goes OF with a vim
and snap which is really marvellous
when the number of people who are be-
fore the spectators at one time is
taken into consideration, and there IS
not any advertising of side shows be
tween the acts for the reason that
there are no particular side shows and /
there are no ''between the acts"
