The modern three-ring circus, with it's

noInce that this seasons arenic display
is not only superior 10 anything hitherto
offered even by this great show but also
that the number OF new and sensational
features and the magnitude OF the exhl-
bition are slrch as TO make II probable
that the present season viii mark the alb
solute limit 10 which circus endeavor may
reach.
This years new spectacle is entitled
Peace. and the costumes and accoumre-
ments for the display weigh nearly hun
dred TONS the poles for the big tents
represent several acres of woodland; the
ropes, cordnge and canvas used tn the
city OF tents require sixty horses to draw
them; the wood used in the seats neces-
sary TO accommodate the 1900 spectators
that can be comfortably seated under
the immense hippodrome pavilion would
furnish a big stock for a more than or
