Bros Big Circus Comes.

Next Wednesday. May 81, is Ringing

/ The magnitude and high character of
the show make it welcome visitor.
In the organization of such a stupen-
dous national entertainment, and in
bringing to the doors of the public the
rare, curious and beautiful things of
the wide world, the five famous pro-

ton have constituted themselves pub

specimens of high-born equines ever
I bred. Are you interested in the Won
ders of the brute creation?-the zoolog-
ical marvels of sea and river, forest and
jungle, are displayed for your edifica-
tion. Do you enjoy the beauties of art
and the brilliancy of classic pageantry?
the loveliest spectacle Of modern or
ancient times will greet you. Are you
eXhilirated by the hotly-contested
struggles of the racing course? Do you
delight in gallant deeds of daring and
deXterity? Are you impressed by Won
derful exhibitions Of trained animal in
telligence? All this and more you will
find in absolute perfection with this
great show. From the initial parade in
the morning of show-day until the close
of the final performance at night every
thing is on a scale of grandeur and
magnitude hitherto unknown in the
amusement world. The inaugural free
street display takes place at 10 o'clock
in the morning, and is a fitting intro
duction to the wonders of the day. 1t
is divided into thirty sections, each
complete in itself. and yet in its clever
arrangement adding to the effective
ness of the whole. There is the English
military section, with its brilliantly
uniformed hussars and its mounted
military band: the French, German,
Russian, Turkish, japanese and Amer
lean military sections, each represented
by q faithful reproduction of its crack
military organization; geological sec
tions. with all kinds of rare, wild beasts
openly displayed in magnificently
carved and ornamented dens and cages;
and many other sections which, in
wealth of display and beauty of color
ing, vie with the rainbow in prismatic
brilliancy. The performance is grandly
in keeping with this marvellous pre-
liminary carnival. From the opening
spectacle, 1.-THE Last Days of the Cen
tury," to the hippodrome finale, the
show is a succession of surprises and
bewildering delights. The greatest of
the worlds great aerialists, the clever
est of clever acrobats and gymnasts,
the supreme leaders in equestrianism,
the most unique of unique specialists,
contribute to the absorbing interest of
the show. The Lockhart elephant
comedians, Souder's elephant brass
band and Marchand's pugilistic pachy-
dermS comprise triumvirate of
trained animal features impossible to
find with any other circus on earth.
In fact, from the moment you enter the
show until you leave it there is a never
ending succession of new, novel and
astounding performances such as would
be beyond the power of any other
amusement management to initiate.
