GLORlES OF OLD ROME.
Ringing Bros Realistic Reproduction of the
Ancient Hippodrome.

In the grand Roman hippodrome, which
forms an important feature of Ringing
Bros worlds greatest shows, which ex-
hibit In Birmingham Friday, October 80,
a strikingly successful effort has been
made to embody all that was most char
acteristic of the thrilling racing contests
of old Rome, when julius Caesar was at
the pinnacle of his power. The great hip
podrome course, the solldly carved and
highly ornate chariots; the madly DASH
ing. gorgeously caparisoned horses, them
selves partaking of the excitement and
intensity of the holly contested and peril
Gus struggle; the seemingly reckless and
yet infinitely sklllful chariot drivers with
tunics flying, and whip and voice urging
the strainng horses to greater exertions;
the picturesque standing races. alike re-
markable in man and beast; the Graeco-
Roman contests, by Herculean gladiators
mounted on horseback; the gaily colored
costumes, the waving banners, the pic
ture-like and kaleidoscope colors, indis-
pensable to a scene transported from the
days of Roman imperial splendor into the
prOSaic nineteenth century-all combine
to constitute a scene of grandeur that can
never be forgotten The hippodrome feat
ures are not, however, confined to the
contests of the Roman era. The best
features of the modern turf have been
combined with the reproduction of the
once famed Maximus. These embrace
elephant races, ladies' and gentlemen's

pleasure of the younger element, in
which trained monkeys are utilized as
riders; comieal clown races; contests In
which fleet-footed men outrun the swift
est horses; curiously exciting races be-
tween whippet hounds, and many other
interesting contests of this kind never be-
fore introduced on a hippodrome track. A
striking feature of all these races, and
that which commends itself to every low
err of high-class stock, is the character of
the horses. In this essential Ringing
Brothers have also out-distanced all COM
petitors, and the racing stock, selected
from the best of the 400 magnificent
horses owned and used by the show, has
no peer in this country. An inspection of
these fnely-bred, perfectlytrained horses
will more than demonstrate the absolute
justice of this statement. Ringing Bros.
Worlds Greatest Shows are now beyond
all question or doubt the largest COM
bined circus, menagere and hippodrome
that the world has ever seen; the arenic
features number over a hundred high
class performers, including the wonder
full Nelson family of nine acrobats, the
greatest act of its kind in the world, and
a complete congress of trained animal
sensations; the menagerie embraces three
herds of notwithstanding and pyramid
forming elephants, including troupe of
ba by elephants; the only living chimpan-
zee in the United States, a monster hip
popotamus and more other rare wild
beasts than all other shows combined;
and the whole Is preceded by gorgeous
reproduction of the Festival of Olympus,
the most glorious, respondent carnival
spectacle under canvas.

Gables His Paper Forecast of the
Result-Some of the Asser-
lions are Amusing.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 23.--Mr. Thomas
Lloyd, editor-in-chief of the London
Statist who is making a tour of the
United States to study the political con-
ditions, today cabled his paper as follows:
Several politicians from the south and
west are now in Chicago, which at first
sight give the impression that there is
more difference of political opinion here
than in New York, but in reality I find
that the people of Chicago. at least all of
whom have anything to lose, are support
ers of Mckinley. Mr. Hanna, who Is the
organizer of the republican party, speaks
very confidently He says he is certain
of carrying Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,
and he has strong hopes of winning sew
eral southern states and western states.
ION the other hand Mr.. Bryan's COM
mittee speak equally confident. They do
not expect as large a majority as Mr.
Hanna says he is sure of, but they pro-
fess to be convinced that they will win.
The main doubt of those who speak inn
partially is as to the farmers and the
laborers. 1t Is believed that the rise in
wheat and cotton, as well as the active
campaign that has been conducted for
some months has convinced great num-
Der of farmers. And great numbers Of
the working classes promise to vote for
Mckinley, but many with whom l have
discussed the subject fear that large
proportion Of the working men promise
their employees one thing and will vote
quite differently when the day comes. 1t
is noteworthy that of all the newspapers
published in Chicago only one supports
Mr.. Bryan, but ought to add that con-
siderable number of Individual Journal
lists with whom I have spoken are sup
porters of Mr.. Bryan.
at is very difficult for a. stranger to
form correct opinion in the clash of ar
gument and assertion, but 1t seems GER
tain that in Chicago, just as in New York,
those who have anything to lose are for
Sound money Socialism, anarchy and
the threat to pack the supreme court
frightens the propertied classes quite as
much as free silver. But they are two
edged. They attract a. large proportion
of the laborers, while they unite capital
lists. For instance, l hear of southern
planters who shrink from supporting the
republicans, but will,vote for Bryan, and
who intend to give a holiday ION election
day to their colored laborers, so that they
will vote for Mckinley"

Burial of Mr.. Pinkerton at Davenport,
Ia--A Guard of Honor--Beauti-
full Floral Tributes.
The remains of Mr. J. G. Pinkerton,
master of transportation of the Kansas
City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad,
were inferred in the cemetery in Davan-
port, Ia, yesterday.
The remains were placed in charge Of
the knights Templar of this city, and
were accompanied by a committee of that
order composed of Mr. G. e. McGlemery
and Mr.. Charles Kuber.
A special car was furnished by the
Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham
railroad to bear the remains, and the
handsome flowers that decked the casket
evidenced the high esteem in which he
was held by the employees of the road.
The flowers furnished by the conduc-
tors were arranged in the shape of a
pyramid, on the top of which was hand
some round vase filled with delicate flow
ers arranged in colors of red, green and
blue, the emblem of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors.
In the center was a star representing
the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming-
ham railroad, which is used on all the
freight cars belonging to this road. On
the base of the pyramid was the letter
ing, Our Friend" The flowers and ar
ranging of same cost $26.
Another handsome floral emblem was
furnished by the train dispatchers of the
road. 1t represented telegraph pole and
cross arm, emplematic of their organiza-
tion. This cost $50, and was perfect
paragon of beauty.
Mr.. Pinkerton had been with the road
even before it's completion to this city,
and no official was held in higher esteem
by each and every employe, every one of
whom had learned to know and love him.
The family lived in Memphis, having
removed to this city last July, and while
comparatively a stranger to many, even
n this short time he had won many warm
friends among our people who were so
f5rtunate as to form his acquaintance.
