Il In WRECK.
Arrived Late on Account
of Two Cars Jump
ing Track.

The circus arrived in town late
it is true, but 1t is here allthe same.
The small boy was up betimes and
HE'D himself to the foot OF Third
streets where the first section Of
cars was expected to arrive at 5. 80
o clock.
Anxiously the boys waited. but
no circus showed up. School time
came and many were late, for they
did so much want to get glimpse
of the big wagons, cages and cars,
which always fires the blood OF the
young with enthusiasm.
The first section arrived from
Lancaster Via Gray's Ferry ut 9. 80
o'clock, aud from then on. the other
sections made their appearance at
intervals of 20 minutes. The first
section had two cars to jump the
track last night at Gray's Ferry,
causing delay OF 5 hours. The
cars were unloaded IN systemic
order and the hor de OF workmen
soon had the etfecto on the show
This ,cifSa is the biggest in this
country now that the greatest
show on earth" is in Europe. Some
idea of its magnitude may be FORM
ed from the following figures: In
GLIDING those ahead with the differ
ent advertising cars, there are
about 700 persons on the pay roll,
and about600 horses are used. TO
transport this show from city to
city requires So cars.
The first tent to 60 up on the cir.
Gus lot was the cook house, then
the menagerie and stable tents.
and finally the Dig exhibition tent.
Jack Hunt is the boss canvass
man with this show and incident
ally the word ''boss" tells Just
what that position is. Socially, one
Of the pleasantest men in the world,
the pole and stake wagons arrive
on the lot and he becomes the boss.
IN one and a half hours he can have
everything ready toopen the doors.
The parade did not get under
way until afternoon, but the delay
did not affect its magnificent dis
play.
Market street was crowded as
early as 10 o'clock and standing
room along the curb was al a pre-
MUM.
For several weeks the email boy and
his sister have been on pins and needles,
if such a stereotyped expression can be
used. They have stood in front OF the
bill boards eagerly scanning the Won
derinl scenes printed on the huge post
els Everything advertised will be on
hand just as it appears on the bill boards
except that it will be thousand times
more realistic.
The show in the big tent will start at
, O'Clock promptly. The evening per-
Torrance will start at s O'Clock. Street
cars will RIM directly to the grounds.
Among the many attractions are: 800
afenic stars, ten Picchiania, Minting, the
