AND NOW CONES THE CIRCUS.
Expectation Reused 10 High Pitch over the
Ringing Eros Big Show.

| No one in North Yakima needs to be
told that next Saturday, August l6, is
circus day. Evidences of the fact are APP
parent OH every side. The date of the big
show stares one in the face from every
point of vantage, while the entire city
has assumed the appearance of an open
air picture gallery. Sylph-like riders,
pirOuetting upon the backs of madly-
dashing steeis; human meteors, whirling
through space acrobats, performing the
most incredible feats of strength and
daring; elephants, initiating the comedy
of the human actor; the fierce beasts of
the jungle and the str nge and curious
things or foreign lands these are things
that have been pictured in brilliancy of
coloring and perfection of detail on paper.
Now comes the reality. The ideal gives
way to the real. Promise merges into full
tillment. And it is here that Ringing
Brothers circus proves its greatness and
its superiority over all other arenic in
situations. Every promise made upon
the bills is fulfilled in the show. This is
just as true this year as in the past. 1t
is announced that this seasons perform
ance isentirely new, and that it surpasses
anything ever before attempted even by
these progressive, twentieth century man
ayers. Thirty great riders perform the
most astonishing feats of equestrianism
magnificent horse ballet serves to in
troduce the most beautiful of horses in
a bewildering series of equine dancers,
marches and statuary; trained bears,
seals, dogs, ponies elephants excite the
wonder and admiration of the multitude,
and the greatest three-ring circus per-
Torrance in the world, with 40 fun-mak-
ing clowns, keeps the audience in con.
slant whirl of excitement. The menagerie
presents hundreds of rare wild animals,
including the only living giraffe, the hip
podrome introduces the most thrilling
races ever seen under canvas, while the
Gus day is the most gorgeous display of
the kind ever attempted. This great pa
geant leaves the show grounds between
8 and 10 clock. 1t is an immense affair.
1t is over two miles in length. Hundred
OF horses, scores t magnificently carved
and gold-illumined cages of wild beasts,
and dozens of magnificent historic floats
give diversity to the picture. Egypt is
represented by genuine Soudanese car
AVIAN, with its Bedouins and ships of the
desert; the military powers of Europe
show their crack military commands,
mounted and in the gorgeous uniforms
OF the continent; Japan has an entire
company of the Mikado's soldiery; the
new possessions of the United States
have their representatives in the dark
Kanaka from Hawaii, the Spanish-feat-
ured Porto Rican and the dark but keen
eyed Filipino; the jungle has an entire
division OF dens and cages of rare wild
beasts Menus has phalanx of merry
clowns; Child Land is illustrated with
tiny cages of curious animals and
Mother Goose tableaux, drawn by the
smallest OF Shetland ponies. Hundreds
of brightly caparisoned horses prance
and wave their nodding plumes in the
morning breeze, and knight and herald,
lancer and cuirassier, in glittering he'll
met and sparkling corselet, lend a kali
eidoscopic coloripg to the scene. The
opening performance will be given at
two o'clock and the final one at eight
p. m. Each will be equally complete.
