great show has come to be regarded as
not only the most colossal amusement
institution of modern times. but also
as the very highest type Of the twenti-
eth century circus. Some idea of the
size and scope OF the exhibition can
be gained from the fact that five trains
of double length railroad cars are re-

dome. The menagerie is the most
complete geological collection in Amer

production of the exciting contests of
old Rome, and the arenic performance
is SO vastly superior to anything ever
before seen in this country as to create
a distinct departure in this form of
popular entertainment.

riders and other specialists number
three hundred of the highest -salaried
European and American artists, in
cluding the great Garcinetti Troupe of
nine acrobats from Italy; the HOllo-
way Trio of high acrobats: the
Feeley Family of gymnasts: the War
