This Is Rarnum and Bailey day.
In the old days 1t would have been
called simply circus day, but that no
longer expresses the full meaning Of the
event
The Barnum and Bailey show is not
merely a circus. 1t Is aSgreat amuse-
ment institutional verltablo travelling
worlds fair. Nothing like 1t has ever
been organized before, and 1t Is doubtful
II It's counterpart.will ever be seen again
The show will arrive at an early hour
this morning. It comes from Norfolk,
where two exhibitions We're given to
enormous crowds yesterday. Tho first
of the five sections will get In about day.
break. The others will follow in rapid
succession. AS soon as possible the cars
will be unloaded and the paraphernalin
transferred to the exhibition grounds, on
Broad Street. adjoining the golf field
The work of erecting the tents Is most
interesting, and always draws big
early morning crowd. The tents cover
twelve acres. but SO remarkable Is the
discipline OF the men that they are erected
and prepared for the opening exhibition
IN three hours.
Those who attend the show to-day will
undoubtdly be surprised and even startled
by It's magnitude, How is 1t possible to
handle such an immense concern?" is
question that will be asked thousand
times to-day The answer is simple. 1t

man who makes the machinery go and

the mechanism in working order-is

THE OLD DAYS.

THE OLD DAYS.
IN those days the performers assisted
In putting up the tents, rode In parade
and gave the performance. Old-timers
among the public often sigh for the "one-
ring circus of our daddies," but this re-
gret is not shared by the modern per-
former Whit the growth OF the modern
circus. his Importance has grown, and
he is star. in fact as we'll as in nlme.
THREE RINGS.
The Barnum g. Bailey circus was the
first to add second ring, and this was
done because the tent had been enlarged
to accommodate the crowds, and 1t was
necessary to bring the performance as
close to the spectators as possible. The
third rims was added for the same rea-
son. An effort has always been made,
however to give the performance In tri-
plcate. For instance, In the big ac-
robatic number, instead of having num-
her Of dlssimilar acts going on at the
same time. each Of the rings and stages
is occupied by famous company Of
gyn,nasts At one end Is the Dinus fam
ily from Bavaria, At the other end the
Sisters Grunatho, Partisan troupe Of
ocrobats, presents remarkable display
or agility and daring. In tho center ring
Is the Florenzs troupe of German celebrl-
ties. One can watch any one of these
acts, and be satisfied that the limit Of
acrobatlc excellence has been seen. It
Is so with the aerial acts; 1t is In evil
dcnce In the riding numbers: it is ac-
centuated in the great menagarie per-
formances. in which the only difference
that can be detected by the audience Is
the variation in the color of the horses
The value Of the modern Barnum & Bal
ley circus as compared with the old-time
show is also especially emphasized in
the menagerie.
TWO COMPLETE PERFORMANCES
There Is. of course. splendid zoologi-
cal collection. including three herds OF
elephants, In addition to this there is a
remarkable congress Of strange and curl
Gus people from all parts of the world
There is no extra price for this attrao-
tive and notable display,
The inaugural performance will take
place at o'clock this afternoon. Per-
formanoes will also be given tonight and
Wednesday afternoon and night The
parade. which is described as especially
brilliant and imposing, will take place
Wednesday morning.
Grand stand and box seats will be on

all the others. has a distinct individuality.
There is general manager and general
agent of the advance department. There
are agents who arrange for the bill
boards. for the newspaper advertising,
for the lots upon which the show must
exhibit for the forage required for tho
GOO horses and tho 80 elephants and for
the provisions necessary to maintain the
circus dining tents and their thousand and
more daily guests Then there are four
advertising cars, each with a manager
and complement Of Is men, who post the
glaring circus bills and distribute the
cover tho same ground over and over
In their efforts to arouse public interest
In the show.
HOW WORK IS DIVIDED.
Back with the show there Is q gem
oral manager. general superintendent.
n superintendent OF canvas, boss" ami
mai man, superintendent of stock and
numberless other "bosses.' all OF WHOM
have large staffs of assistants and nu-
perintendents and working people under
their direction The work Is so divided
that there is separate force for every
big tent and every important department.
For instance the cook tent department
employs about eighty men, These include
canvas men to put UP teh cook tents
cooks. servants and walters. These men
have nothing to do with any other part
of the show. In this way they are enabled
to devote their energies to one department.
and to work with an expedition that
seems marvellous to the novice,
Contrary to the general idea, tho per-
formers have nothing to do with the erect
ing of the tents or preparing the proper
ties for the performance. The canvas
gangs put up the tents, the property
men" take care of the rings and the rig

have to do is to give tho turns for

them go into the parade. and their posi-

ment there never was an instance or one
mans mind dominating a great insttu-
ton to the same extent But the Great
set Show on Earth, like It's director
general is largely matter Of evolution
and development.
When Mi. Bailey and p. Il. Barnum
Joined forces twenty years ago, and Mr.
BAILEY took the practical management
OF the show, he literally Carried the
financial affairs OF the concern around
in his hat" The ticket seller was the
treasurer of the show. There were no
book keepers, no auditors, no elaborate
system OF accounts. When the show
made money there was Il surplus at the
end of the season. When 1t lost, which
sometimes happened. the deficit was evil
dent at the close OF the circus year, and
the amount had to come out OF the
pockets Of tho owners, Under such a
system-rnther lack of systematic mod
ern Barnum and Bailey show could not
successfully run n week,
The business part OF the show. that
part which the public knows nothing at
all about is now conducted like II great
mercantile establishment.
There is a general treasurer ana his
assistants. There Is an auditor and a staff
of bookkeepers, l'or every cent expended
there ia a receipt, and for every ticket
sold there Is a check or voucher. Every
night at ~ o'clock the manager knows
by figures that cannot lie whether tho
show has had n profitable or losing day,
and how much to a penny, has been made
or lost. In this great circus elsa Adjustment
every day must stand for itself, and this
is rendered possible by the fact that 1t Is
a strictly cash business. Tho circus never
has any outstanding, uncolected bills.
