TIE MRRRY CIRCUS HERE
Welsh Bros, SheWS at Front and Union
Street Grounds Today aud Tomorrow

Young America reveled in the de-
lights Of clowns and pink lemonade To-
day. The cause of all the excitement
and fiutter was the arrival Of Welsh
Brothers big circus early this morn
ing. The circus train came in over the
Pennsylvania railroad, and the work Of
unloading was at once commenced, and
the paraphernalia removed TO the ex-
hibition grounds at Front and Union
streets, where performances win be
given today and tomorrow, both after
Moons and evenings. The entire ap-
pearance of the show is splendid, and
has a prosperous look. The horses and
other stock with the show are in excel
lent condition. The street parade this
morning was a complete success, and at
tracted hundreds of people to the main
streets. Another parade will be given
tomorrow morning over a different
route.
The performance this afternoon was
well attended, and the program offered
was received with much enthusiasm.
Among the stellar features Of the exhi-
bition are the Kitamura Royal Imperial
japanese troupe, Miss Maurice Fore
paueh's cakewalking horses, Professor
Whites wonderful "sixty-three horse
act" the West and Zanta aerialists,
Snapper GarrisOn's "cycle whirl''
display. the Great Sylvester. aerial con-
tortionist; the Ward Sisters. trapezists,
and George De ONO. trick barrel jump
er. Besides the above there are all
kinds of equestrian displays, clown en-
trees high wire exploits. bicycle feats
etc. "A good band furnishes promenade
music previous to the beginning of the
exhibitions.
The performances are under the di-
rection OF Clinton Newton. who is we'll
known among local amusement goers
AS the prices OF admission are popular
and the performance is one of unusual
merit, the show should lbe the recipient
of big business during its stay here.
