1NIAu1I ~ DdllSy ItSpuIIcu LII ItOuIG
With Many New Sensations.
The '"cireus is coming to town.. The
Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth will exhibit in this city on June
IA. The coming of this internationally
famous big circus is always an event of
Importance among the seasons amuse-
ments. asst experience has proved that
1T can always be depended upon to fur
nlsh all that is newest and most novel
in the line of arenic entertainment. At
the time of the shows last visit TO this
city the impression prevailed that the
limit of possibility in magnitude and
circus sensationalism had been reached.
This, however, was evidently not the
case, for this years announcement in
dictate that the show is not only larger
than ever before, but also that all pre-
vious achievements in the way of start
ling acts have been suppressed. This is
the verdict of the New York press,
which undoubtedly echoes the senti-
ment of the more than three hundred
thousand persons who saw the show
during its five weeks engagement at
Madison Square Garden.
1t Is interesting to learn that the per-
formances given here will be identical
in every way with those presented in
New York city, and that all the big
sensational features will be presented
without abridement, and with all the
original attention to detail. One need
only scan the programme to realize
what this means. There are, apparent
~, q score of acts that might with JUS
tice be described as features" but
among the big acts are several that
stand out with special and startling
distinctiyeness. Probably the most
sensational viewed from the stand
point of thrilling interest is The Dip of
Death, and, judging from the way it
has been received, the name is no mis-
homer In this remarkable display of
seemingly reckless daring, an automo-
bile, controlled by a young American
girl, makes forty-foot fight through
space, with machine and chauffeuse up
side-down. A second startling sensa-
ton presents two nerYy bicyclists who,
by the use Of a most ingeniously con-
struoted apparatus, are enabled to turn
complete aerial somersaults on their
wheels.
In conjunction with these features Of
an ultra-sensational character, a gem
uine old-fashioned circus performance,
brought down to date, with many new
and interesting European novelties, is
announced, The programme introduces
itself with new spectacle, In which
President ROOSEVELT s. successful efforts
to bring the war in Manchuria to an
end is pictured in a gorgeous military
pageant and in a series of allegorical
tableaux under the significant title
Peace" The circus performance that
follows introduces, it Is announced,
scores of the worlds cleverest artists
in many new pleasing and interesting
Displays The exciting presentation Of
ancient and modern racing events on
the hippodrome track, and the great 20
illogical annex, for which the big circus
has always been renowned, are inciden-
tai features that undoubtedly add
much to the comprehensive attractive
ness of the show Owing to the magni-
tude Of the exhibition there Will be no
