ne GreaGoSU EVER.
Bushels of peanuts, double jointed
and single jointed, candies of various
denominations, colors, sizes and sorts
are being daily unloaded from circus
cars at the freight station, so it is
said, for the great circus which will
appear in Morristown for the benefit
of every man, woman and child within
radius of thirty miles, by the Mohus-
cowungie Tribe of Red Men, begin
ming on the oath and closing the 26th.
Trimmings for pink and yellow lem
onade have been purchased, and local
talent will be hired to do the mixing.
Wild animals which will positively
appear at each and every performance
have been captured from Shongum
mountains and they are as fine a
collection of their species as can be
found with any travelling show. Con-
tracts have been awarded to the high
est bidders to feed the Gagged menage-
rie, and everything that money can do
is being done to do the circus as it
should be done.
The best show grounds in the coun-
try have been leased for the occasion
on King street. The ground at pres
ent is hard, but will be softened before
the first night of the show, so that the
bareback riders the in-the-air wire
walkers, acrobats, rope dancers, and
all other aerial performers will not
break their bones or skulls in falling
on the earth.
The tents to be used for this grand
entertainment will be larger than ever
Barnum & Bailey pitched, because the
elephants attached to this circus are
bigger than those carried by the vet
eran Showmen.
The management of the show wishes
the Chronicle to announce that every
body may safely bring along their
purse or pocketbook full of money and
spend just as much as they desire with
out fear of molestation, as large
force of amateur detectives and gilt
edged policemen have been employed
to guard all familiar characters.
The lights that will be lighted each
night will be light gaslight from the
Gas company and especially prepared
for the Red Men, and the "barkers"
to be heard on the grounds will be
thoroughly charged with this form Of
aeriform elastic fluid.
County Clerk Daniel S. VOORHEES, has
consented to act as ringmaster and iat
the crack of his whip everything will
start automatically. Before the big
show commences Texas will pass
through the tent on wireless wire,
and distribute peanuts. He will make
his own announcements.
Mayor Reed will have charge Of the
side show, which promises to be the
only real one of it's kind. Side shows
as rule are composed of fakes" but
everything you see in this one, is
guaranteed, even to the pie-faced boy.
The snake departments is particular
ly fine. Every reptile will be alive and
charmed by the most fascinating fe-
male artist in the world. The rattles
on the rattleSnakes will be sold to
children at the closing performance.
Alderman Eugene S. Burke will give
exhibitions of his marvellous hand
shaking trick, which has won the ad-
miration of so many politicians and
others, and Street Commissioner
Thomas Hanna Meskill will have COM
plete charge of the physical culture
part Of the programme. A shot
weighing one million nine hundred
and ninety-nine million pounds will be
lifted by him at each days perform
anoe.
DR.. Brittnn d. Evans, past Sachem
Of the tribe, will give clinical lectures
upon subjects called in the ring by the
ringmaStef, and explain why horses
run and elephants eat peanuts. In
fact there never was a show like the
one to be given by the Red Men.
1t is impossible to tell all that will
happen inside the tents, but you may
be sure OF seeing something.
The Showmen have taken into con-
Sfdefdtion every comfort found at
circus, and they will give special atten-
tion TO everybody
Don't forget what the posters say;
r U going?
Why, citcuSly.
