appearance of the show in this vicinity
this season, and for which occasion extra
preparations have been made by the railroad to
handle the enormous crowds that will doubtlesi
attend, special low rate for the round trip in
most instances including admission to the show
have been made by the various roads and when
necessary extra trains will be run.
The Barnum & Bailey circus this year is the very
best ever seen under the name which is high
praise indeed yet the circus itself is only small
part of the big show which comprises also the
menagerie, the animal circus, the ethnic enter
tainment called Oriental India with lots of strange
people, and by the way great feature which IL
carried by no other show-the hippodrome and
many other features. There are also so trained
horses which appear in majestic performance in
crossbow away up into space, numberless living
pictures ola wonderfully interesting character, "a
trained elephants, flock of ostriches, two lady
clowns and ringmasters, high jumping and long
distance leaping horses and ponies, many novel
races the new woman in bloomers on horse back,
80 cages of wild beasts with myriad curious and
rare animals, never seen before in captivity.
