1T IS CIRCUS DAY TODAY
AND THE BIG snow VIII DELIGHT
THE PUBLLC.

slumbers the great Barnum & Bailey
show will have pitched its tents ON
Washington and West streets, and ev-
erything will be we'll under way to re-
ceive the immense crowds which are
sure to attend the performances this
afternoon and evening. The change in
location has been made from the fact
that the new grounds are more central
ly located and easier to reach from all
parts of the city.
New Haven has the reputation of
being one OF the best show stands in
Connecticut, and our citizens always
turn out in force whenever the Great
est Show on Earth comes to town.
The free street parade will leave the
grounds promptly at o'clock and will
follow the advertised route through
the principal streets as far as posi-
BILE.
The management was unable to give
the exact route last night owing to the
change of place of exhibition.
With the usual disregard of expense
and with the energy that has character
lied every effort of Barnum & Bailey
they have designed an entirely new
street parade for. the pleasure Of the
people, and when it is stated that it is
offered upon the same generous scale as
the performance within the tents one
can easily imagine its magnificent
splendors.
All the crowned heads of the world,
the reigning sovereigns in coaches of
rot ~, lNnY nI1p
rounded by their escorts, the military
uniforms of all nations in groups and in
picturesque oriental style, are repre-
scented in the most truthful and correct
manner, together with a magnificent
display of golden Chariots, open denS
of wild beasts with a keeper seated in
each cage, who will put them through
their performances, tw@ntyfOur ele-
plants, the allegorical chariots illus
trating nursery rhymes and children's
fairy tales, together with the Duryea
motor wagon or horseless carriage and
many other novel and interesting feat
ures.
-Four grand military bands, a tubular
chimes chariot, monster organ wagon,
twenty buglerS and a steam caliope will
furnish the musical portion of the pa
rade
To prevent danger of accidents the
police have been requested to keep the
route as clear as possible during the
hours Of parade, and owners of horses
are asked to cooperate with the au-
thorities by avoiding, as far as possible,
these thoroughfares while the ele-
plants, camels and caliope and many
other bewildering sights and confusing
sounds are at large In them.
In commenting on the circus as pre-
scented In that city a week ago the AL
| bany Journal speaks as follows:
| For years everyone has expected
great and sometimes impossible things
| of Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on
| Earth, and disappointment has never
| followed, so it would seem that the
| management of the vast organization
must find it extremely difficult at last
| to provide a practically new entertain
ment. But they have provided a new
one this time, as every act is more COM
plete, better arranged and infinitely
| more exciting than any of somewhat
similar character in past seasons"
1.-THE menagerie is the best ever seen
here, and not the least of its features
| is Johanna, the gorilla, who comes close
| to talking; the giant mandrill, giraffe,
| lions, tigers, sacred cattle, etc"
| Oriental India is illustrated by many
strange people, among whom are tiger
dancers, devil mask dancers, sacred sill
yer dancers, Gotta dwarfs, Saraband
dancers, dainty Cinghalese dancers, and
q lot OF members of the Hydrabad
| 1,i.
East Indian musicians, jugglers, priests
and mystifiers, all of whom give char
acteristic exhibitions illustrating the
games, sports, pastimes and occupa-
lions of the inhabitants of India. This
part of the show is exhibited in the me-
| nagerie tent"
ut is a great show and nobody can
afford to miss it,
The Howard avenue cars run within
two short blocks of the main entrance.
| Mr. F. J. Cox, the well known assist
ant advertising agent of BunnelP S
theaters, will have charge of the hi
cycle and horse and carriage privilege
opposite the main entrance at the cir
Gus grounds to-day
The big show exhibited in Derby yes

cry street crossing at about o'clock II

Derby at O'Clock AS usual hundreds

grounds when the tents are being
erected.
