 Well. no matter how they get there. the kids will all be there. This is the crowning day of the boys life in Bis bee this year. and its pleasures hold forth more inducement to the average boy than the result of the coming cleo tion does to his dad.
 The big parade will traverse the streets of Bisbee at II o'clock this morning. There will be the big ele- plants. in fact large assortment of the birds of the air. the beasts of the field, to say nothing of few trained seals-and the caliope. Then all will be in readiness for the big afternoon show-the greatest show that has ever come to Bisbee Forepaugh-Sells shows have been eiectrifying audi ences all over the country with the many new departures that they have incorporated in the program for this year. The big fire scene is one that has never been reproduced in the mag nitude that it will be today.
 No incident in life holds so keen an interest for mankind as a great confla- grafton. Let the alarm sound. and no matter how preoccupied the mind may have been, all is forgotten in the all absorbing question, Where is it?"
 Realizing this fact. the management of Forepaugh-S Shows has prepar- ed a spectacle entitled Fighting the Flames" with which the performance given here today will be opened The scenery alone necessary to rep resent a city in all it's multitudinous grandeur of tall buildings, streets, ho- l tels. markets and sky scrapers. would be an impossibility to any show save the Forepaugh-Sells combination. The new amphitheater tent in which the fire spectacle is presented has l lbeen especially constructed for the purpose, and is so large in length and
 breadth as to make all large circus tents heretofore seen appear small by comparison. The huge ellipse usual i ly known as the hippodrome oval and
 surrounded by the auditorium, is this year so large that with the help oi panoramic scenery it represents busy
 city thoroughfare surrounded by a large city park.
 l This park is the space occupied by < the arenas, six in number. in which i later the circus acts take place, but now. by a system of theatrical sci pieces, is transformed into enormous
 grass plots, shrilbbery. fountains, flow

 Facing this park and it's surround ing street is the huge work of archi

 sellers, peddlers, fashionably dressed men and women are in motion.
