The Circus Is Coming-Barnum & Bail
eys circus will make it's southern trip in
the spring this year, instead of later in
the season. 1t has always visited Wash
ington early in the season, but the change
this year will come in the cities of the
southern circuit. The great show this year
is great, indeed. There have been several
changes made in the circus since it was
mere last and a number of new and inter-
esting features have been added. One of
the finest features of the circus will be
the big street parade. A feature that has
been added is the driving of forty horses to
one wagon by an expert driver. These
hCrses were not trained to the work. Every
one of them is jet black and they make
1ne appearance as they prance through
the street drawing the wagon as If it were
as light as a wheelbarrow 1t is estimated
that the driver holds in his hands eighty
pounds of rens and the work of directing
tite CouISe Oh tne nOrSeS and keeping them
In control is wonderful feat. Another
new feature of the show in which horses
play the leading part is act where
eighty trained horses appear in the ring
at one time They are directed by ring
master who has them SO we'll trained that
ne rs able to manage all eighty. without
the least trouble. Another feature is the
vaudeville show. which will be given in the
meEaSerle. Another addition. which made
a great hit in New York is the foot hall
dog. This dog plays foot ball with the
clown and so enthusiastic is he over The
game that he has to have the entire arena
10 himself. While he is performing nothing
else is going on under the tent The
crowds in New York went wild over him
ana he is probably the only animal that
mas Wao.e act to himself. Altogether
the snow this year is probably the most
complete that has ever visited Washing
ton

The Biographical. Jay Durham man
aging the biograph at Willard Hall, will
have number of views to put before the
public next week. The views to be secured
will include pictures that have never be-
fore been presented by this or any other
like instrument, and will be extremely en-
joyable. They will include artistic and
novel subjects. and will prove a pleasing
addition to the already long list of views
that are being shown at the exhibitions.
The career of the biograph in this city has
been a continually growing success, and in
stead of its stay here diminishing populari-
ty. is generally the case with an at
traction In Washington, ii seems to be gain
ing in public support everyday. The
church benefits which have been given have
proved to be unusually successful, and a
number of other exhibitions have been ar
ranged to be given for charitable purposes.
