CIRCUS To MAKE
STREET PARADE

II the small boy has been particularly
good OF late there is reason. The circus
is coming TO town and BE- means to see
It. His father. though he does not care
for crowds and says the circuses are no
longer what they used TO be. is going to
take him, not that he wants to see the
amazing things that are promised, but
10 take care OF the boy and see that no
harm comes to him. Father works the
same old fake every year and will con-
tinue doing so until the crack OF doom.
Ringing Brothers worlds greatest
shows are TO be here on Tuesday and
Wednesday and will unfurl their banners
and erect their numerous huge tents on
the Cranston show grounds. 1t will be
remembered that when the Ringlings'
shows were here two years ago they were
huge affair. This year they are bigger
than ever and they mark the limit TO go
beyond which IL will be impossible and
nave the railroads handle them in short
space of time.
II witt please many people to know that
there will be a huge parade on Tuesday
morning, one that will be every bit of
three miles long. Nearly every thing in
the parade will be new and more wild
animals will be displayed in open cages
way the parade will be a huge horse
show, as IL will contain over $50 horses
comprising every type of equine.
Highly Furnished floats representing
different countries will be in line and
there will be three huge herds OF elephants
and 20 camels in line. The trappings are
all new and the sea Of nodding plumes
ana waving banners ought TO make a
colorful picture The leading band wagon
will have a hitch OF 2s horses. in the chill
dren's section there will be similar hitch
OF Shetland ponies and there will be a
band mounted on handsome white steeds.
-Four performances OF the show will be
given and they will introduce many as
tonishing circus novelties. The Ringllngs
secured everything that was at all novel
In Europe and the result is that there
are over two hundred performers on the
bill. A troupe of Persian acrobats here
FOR the first time do astonishing things
and there is a Frenchman who, balancing
himself on his head hops down a fight
OF stairs with his feet in the air. The
Marnello- Marnites perform acrobatlc
stunts and at the same time play on
Swiss bells attached to their ankles and
wrists The Jordan family consisting OF
five people all work at the same time on
the one tight rope stretched high in the
arena.
The bareback riders represent this
country, England. Italy and Spain. The
Bedinis, five in number, perform an as
tonishing riding act aided by big dog.
When last seen here the circus was
known as quintuple affair Now II is a
sextuple circus The added feature is the
mid-air circus. There are times when the
three rings. the two stages, the hippo
drome track and the air overhead are
filled with performers all striving for the
applause Of the onlookers. What is going
to happen TO the man who tries TO see
it all is a difficult question.
The menagerie attached to the circus
contains one hunderd cages and dens OF
rare beasts. There are number Of young
In the menageris just now which makes
1t unusually interesting At the close of
the afternoon performances the animals
are publicly fed and the sight is worth
seeing. On Tuesday a down town office
will be opened for the sale OF seats at the
same prices as are charged on the show
grounds.
