The announcement that Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest Shows will exhibit in Memphis on Saturday, Oc- tober 2e, will be received with more than usual interest by the people in this neighbOrhOOd. The Ringling Brothers have name that stands for all that is new, novel and entertain ing in the circus line, and the man. agement announces that this season the show has been enlarged to such an extent that whole extra train is used addition to the four trains in use last season. The show is now transported from place to place in eighty-tive seventy-foot cars, constructed espe- cially for the Ringling Brothers. In connection with the circus proper, in which the arenic performance is un- excelled, the Ringing Brothers are this season presenting the beautiful and sublime spectacular production of the Field of the Cloth of Gold. This pantomimic play necessitates the use of 120O actors and actresses and of al- most five hundred horses. It is pre- sented on the largest stage ever used for exhibitional purposes. Special ex- cursion rates have been arranged for on all lines of travel by the Ringling Brothers, and those who desire to go to Memphis, where this great circus exhibits, on October 2S, can do so at a comparatively small cost. This will be the only point in the vicinity where the circus will exhibit this season and no one should miss the opportunity to see it. Watch this paper for addi- tloual announcements.
