The Stately. Majestic, OstsntatiOuS and Educational Pageant of Barpum & Bailey.
 The parade of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth is this year said to be superb and marvellous. It contains many novel features of high educational character and which are of great value to every child.

 It will be a treat to all persons, the novel features specially designed for this stupendous and substantial af- faid. The word novel is used advisedly. For there are awenty-nine of the most elegant and costly floats and triumphal chariots ever devised, which typify the five continents os the world and the peoples inhabi:ing them. They also contain many tableaux vivants. the fig ures correctly costumed in the national dress of nearly al the nations on earth, while the teams of splendid horses at tached to them are accompanied by outriders. similarly attired, represent ing some special uniform of the na- tions. One of these huge floats requires 8 team of forty elegantly matched horses and is driven by one man. Be- sides these. there will be many ele- plants, cannes, Roman racing chariots of the same character as those used in the days os Pharaoh. mounted cava- Hers, ladies and performers, displays of open dens of wid animals, carved gold en cages os rare beasts. allegorical chariOts Illustrating children's fairy tales, nursery rhymes and fables. and a myriad new features never seen in a parade or anywhere else. For with the usual disregard of expense invariably characterizing the Barnum & Bailey show, they secured the best architects, artists, and designers to construct an absolutely new parade for the pleasure of the people to signalize the home coming of the show from it's triumphal tour of the world.
