BARNUM 4 BAILEY COMING.
Excrsion Arrangements Completed for
the Big Show.

Preliminary arrangements have been per.
feeied for the coming of the Barnum X
Bailey circus To Paramount Sept q on Clarks'
burg Sept IL This great amusement institution
is recognized as the leader In all things
pertaining To arenic entertainment, and its
advent has n significance that rarely attaches
TO any other show. II is coming this year,
II Is announced, under conditions that should,
more than ever, assure IL n cordial welcome
from the public. II opened the season, MS
usual, at Madison Square Garden, New
York, where, week after week, crowds OF
enthusiastic circus-lovers crowded the
immenee amphitheatre, applsuded the arenic
acts, revelled in the sensation that accompany
the performance OF the latest things in circus
thrillers, and, to quote from one of the New
York papers, left the Garden convinced
that they had seen the greatest performance
ct its kind ever presented in the United
States"
The modern three.ring circus, with its
accompaniment OF menagerie, hipprodrome
and horse fair is so distinctively an American
institution that ITS coming is almost
universally regarded as an essential event.
The Barnum & Bailey management an
nounced that this seasons arenic display is
not only superior to anything hitherto
offered even by this great show, but also that
Tue uutnDct OF new ana SENSATIONAL features
and the magnitude Of the exhibition are such
as TO make II probable that the present
season will mark the absolute limit TO which
circus endeavor may reach
In the Barnum * Bailey circus Of today
there Is an array of feature acts requiring
parapheTnalia sufficient TO almost completely
utilize the capacity Of one Of the tive trains
OF railroad cars. The structural steel used
the "rwo Twirs of Terror" and the "Dip
of Death" is said to be equal to that used IN
the construction Of a good-szed modern
office building.
This years new spectacle IS entitled
Peace and the costumes and
Necoutr ments for the display weigh nearly
hundred tons; the poles for the big tents
represent the production of several acres Of
woodland; the ropes, cordage and canvas
used in the city of tents require sixty horses
to draw them: the wood used in the wood
used in the seats necessary to accumulate
the i, 600 spectators that can be comfortably
SEATED under the immence hippodrome
pavilion would furnish big stock for n
more than ordinarily extensive lumber yard.
