tunes. tc., will be reproduced here,
and the elephants and tigers will be in
charge of genuine natives.
Another feature of particular interest
Is the collection of tropical birds. which
VIII he placed in beautiful and eabo-
rate cages, in which are placed Il num-
Der of tropical plants. huge ferns and
wonderfully colored flowers. trans
planted with great care. which give an
aspect of marked reality and the true
atmosphere OF the birds.
An extensive collection Of fishes has
also been secured. and Mr.. BAILEY has
had divers at work even down in the
waters of the south seas securing
specimens OF fishes never before OBJ
tanned. lie has, of course, sustained
great loss, as almost five out of every
ten have persisted. There will thus be
coials and strange fishes as we'll as
birds aud wild and domestic animals of
every country on the globe. and as a
geological study the twentieth century
circus will be IL marvel.
Particular attention will be paid to
the ponies and horses this year and to
the bareback riders. \ young Arabian
girl who has had II most remarkable
history on the Arabian plains and who
is the most skilled rider of the women
of her tribe has been induced to join
the show, as we'll as two Kansas girls
who We're brought up on Il western
ranch and are experts on the ponies.
The horses will be superb and will be
from every country.
A little company of particular inter-
est will he 1.-The Sioux papooses," q
band of little Indian boys who will cx-
hibit methods of erecting miniature
wigwams. of making bows and arrows.
and will also perform various tricks of
interest to children. 1t has been OBJ

little folks much more than the most
remarkable feats of grown up experts.

wonderful gathering of all the little
people of the various nations of the

normally large giants on stills will be
hack numbers: so will wild men of

Another heretofore regular feature

be mere than one band. and they will

and on the central platform. For Il
half hour preceding the opening of tlle
performance and while the people are
being seated they will play pro-

The clowns have been rcorganiZcd
for the new show and will be funnicr
than over. both in costume and "new
jokes" for the public has become rati,-
er weary of the chestnuts that have
been played off for the past 100 years.
The monkeys will be as prominent as
ever, and what With the clowns and
the cracllerjacl.s. who will take eN-
traoulinary parts in the general enter

genuine interest from every point of
