vast amount of money it takes to run
a big circus. Very few people have
any idea of how much money one of
these big aggregations leaves in every
city where they show. An illustration
of this can be given by hasty sum
mary of the amount of money that will
be spent by Hargreayes' Big Railroad
Shows when 1t exhibits here on Wed
nesday, April 90. In the first place
there are over two hundred men and
women connected with the circus in
all its departments including artistes,
workingmen and officials. These all
have to be feed and as the work of
every person connected with circus
is strenuous their appetities are always
good Contrary to usual ideas they
must get the best of everything, so the
bread, meats, vegetables, tea, coffee,
ETC., all of which is purchased fresh
daily in the town where they exhibit
runs into many dollars. Then there
is the wood required for the fires, the
sawdust for the rings, the oil for the
illumination and the hundred and one
other things. Though the expense of
feeding the men and women with the
shows is great the animals cost much
more. Rajah, the biggest elepeant in
