The circus beautiful
That's the way the Sells-Floto
tented exhibition is advertised
And the performances given are
in full keeping with this appropriate
ly selected title
The Seiis-F Fioto circus IL not as
large as some of the shows which
have been here in former years, but
In points of general excellence it is
ahead of any of them
The circus arrived in the city this
morning from Waco where an exhi-
bition was given Yesterday. The
special trains We're little late in ar
riving, but no time was lost in un-
loading the wagons, animals and
paraphernalia and transferring same
to the show grounds.
The parade took place at1l 30 and
was one among the best ever seen in
this city. 1t far excelled the parade
given by the big circus last fall.
Everything was satisfying to the eye
| and gave keen anticipation for the
two performances to come after. The
entire equipment is bright and new
| parade gave the crowd very favor
able impression. In the parade
were four bands, a troupe of clowns
who caused as much delight as they
1 have in past seasons, glittering
menagerie wagons and fine looking
/ horses, well groomed and gaily deco
/ rated. The horses were in better
| condition than the ones usually seen
with circuses. There was also quite
an interesting collection of Gagged
animals shown in the parade.
In spite of the fact that this is
/ the busy season with farmers a
| large crowd was in from the country
to see the parade and attend the af-
| iternoon performance.

gin at s o'clock. The circus tents
are located in the cotton yard just
