GREATER THAN EVER
Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Eshows viii Exhibit at Mexico,
Friday, September 81.

This world-famous circus firm al
WAYS modern and progressive, have
had for years the biggest and best
sh0E on earth which fact, however
has not deferred them from going into
further enormous expense for this
season BY the addition Of new cars,
hundreds OF horses, gorgeous parade
features, imported ring novelties and
even entirely new shows. The crown
ing novelty this year is the stupendous
spectacular production OF 1.-THE Field
OF the Cloth Of Gold," interpreted by
LOO characters. The costumes Of the
spectacle are historically correct and
radiantly colorful. There are $500
designs Of the picturesque style be-
longing to the days when knight
errantry was in flower. The sceinc
accessories Of this production are car.
ried in an extra special train Of IF.
teen cars, and the lighting effects Of
the theater 7 used for the first time
under canvas TO give the charm Of at
mosphere to the swiftly changing in
cidents and pictorial genes. The
tent OF the circus is the largest ever
made, and is brilliantly lighted by
electricity. This departure is in keep
ing with the progressive spirit that
has always characterized Ringing
Brothers great circus. The monster
street parade, always a fascinating at
traction with Ringing Brothers
shows, has been enlarged and is now a
%glittering pageant more than three
miles long. The band ehariots and
musical vehicles are massive struc-
lures, gracefully fashioned and beauti-
fully colored. The animal cages and
dens are newly built and OF differing
snowy patterns, which relieve this
procession from the deadly monotony
OF the familiar circus. E~laborately
carved and richly decorated tableau
wagons bear character types OF the
great nations Of the world, and cavalry
troops equipped for service, illustrate
the army dress and national pride OF
all countries. A division Of Lilli-
putian cages for children's delight,
forty elephants, the largest herd in
captivity, twenty camels and hum
dreds Of high-strung horses OF blue
blooded origin, scores OF open wild ami
NAL dens and fifty clowns for rolllck.
ing fun-and inventive goods fellows
they are-are other captivating fea-
lures in the remarkable free street
display. In the ring performances
Ringing Brothers introduce 375 per-
formers and more than 100 sensational
acts. Many Of the artists appear in
America for the first time, and all
stand at the head Of their class.
Ringing Brothers employ over L.
200 men, women and children. To
feed this great company Of people re-
quires a daily average Of LOCO pounds
OF bread, l,150 pounds Of meat, 500
gallons Of coffee and everything else
in proportion. These supplies, as well
as fifteen tons Of hay, 40 bushels Of
oats and sixty-five bushels Of corn for
the horses, have to be secured daily
in the city where the show is exhibit.
