WILL GIVE A PARADE.
Forepaugh-sens Show HASN'T Dis
pensed With This Feature.

The press agent of the Sells-F orepaugh
show is responsible for the following:
The street parade of The Great Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Circus is
the most stupendous and radiantly beau
tiful spectacle of the kind ever brought
forward by a circus enterprise. More
than a thousand people participate, and
half as many pedigreed horses are used.
The housekeeping riding animals were
born in the purple and represent an i'm
mense amount of money, as well as the
finest collection to be seen anywhere,
here or abroad. The band chariots,
tableau floats, musical vehicles, wild
animal dens, fashionable carts, lilipu-
tan cages-in fact, all of the wagons
whatsoever are brand new, made from
special designs, and laVishly decorated.
Most of the cages are open. Three big
nerds of elephants, gayly caparisoned,
and supporting thrones rejecting the
regal pomp and pride of Oriental worlds,
companies of numbering camels, troops
of mounted soldiery, military bands,
clown bands, women riders modiShly
gowned, expert and graceful men riders,
FOSTERING students, joyous Ministries,
Oriental jugglers, courtiers, ecclesiasts,
peasants, dancing girls, knights, sol
diers bizarre fun-makers and a multi
tude of more odd, stimulating and ex-
ceptional features are tactfully woven
into professional display over three
miles long. 1t is the most colossal, mag
nificent and sensationally interesting
street pageant ever seen in the entire
world. This procession will start from
the show grounds circus day at 10
O'Clock and move over the usual bust
ness streets.
In the circus programme proper is a
gathering of the most famous perform
ers in the world. Most of the artists
make their first appearance in Amer
lea at this time with this show. There
are sixty acrobats in the revolving pro-
gramme, and all are imported for this
season with the great Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers shows Such an
immense gathering of foreign gym

business, and affords a continuous
Whirl of ever changing and sensational
surprises. Among these distinguished
artists are the fourteen Wolkowskys;
the O'Brien troupe of seven; Delno
Carmel company, Prosper family and
DfnuS troupe. The performance be-
gins with a superb new spectacle,
Panama, or the Portals of the Sea-
A thousand characters are employed
in this gigantic production, and the
costumes are lavishlx beautiful. The
action of the spectacle calls for a
larger space than would be possible i'll
a hundred theaterS. In the procession

rectly uniformed military companies
representing the crack regiments of
the great nations of the world. Bands
playing national airs and the most
beautiful female types of the world

the massive scenes. A fortune has
been spent to make this production a

the consequences, he grasped Morris
by the shoulders and whirled htm
around.

He fired before the words were out

stood their ground saw James Blake

they saw Morris fire again.
