the Animals snow.
Tomorrow is Barnun & Bailey day in
st. Paul, and the best show OF the
age, according to the testimony of the
cities along its route this season, will
be given here.
The show grounds are located at
University avenue and Dale street, and
there the tents will be put up bright
and early in the morning. The show
will come from Minneapolis, where it is
exhibiting today, over the Great North
ern road, and the unloading from the
trains and the raising of the tents Will
be accomplished by early daylight. The
railroad run is so short that the load
ing and unloading of the trains is
about all that has to be taken into
consideration, in counting the time it
will take to make the change from one
city to the other.
The free street parade will be given
as the first public demonstration of the
day. leaving the grounds at 8 o'clock

While the BarnUm show has the finest
menagerie in the country and u
great circus performance. showing a
better grade of riding and a more dar-
ing lot of aerial performances than
any other circus, to the thinking the
most wonderful feature of the show is
the educated gorilla Johanna, whose
human-like actions bespeal her as Of
grade OF intelligence on par 1T
least with the Inhabitants of Africa
and the South Sea islands.
The circus spent Sunday in Mime
apolis, and though the show did not
go on, the day OF rest being observed
as far as possible, there was a large
crowd Of curious people about the
grounds all day watching the work that
went on leisGrely ard trying 10 get

ties.
In the tent the various trainers and
Keepers were making their animals
comfortable after their long rides,
while the elephants consumed hay fast
er than it could be brought in. Two
cages that We're side by side contain
ed noted members of the menagerie Of
the circus. These were Johanna, the
gorilla, who has displayed so much
sense as to increase believers in the
DarWinian theory. and the only giraffe
on exhibition by circus, and one IF
the very few in captivity, which
stretched numerous feet Of spotted
neck through the top of its cage.
