RINCLINCS' BIC CIRCUS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1o
The ImmenSity of the Ag- gregation in Detail
 Street Pageant.

With tents covering three times more ground than any other show in the world, coming on S5 railroad cars, bringing 1OS cages of wild animals, 40 elephants and $50 horses, carrying 1,2S0 people and presenting six-fold circus of S75 performers, Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest Shows will visit New Haven on Wednesday, June 19.
 The first advertising brigade arrived in town last night, which settled the argument. This morning, when John ny hied forth, his eyes stood out like door knob If there is anything on earth that will make kids sit up and take notice 1t is a circus. To the fel- low of tender years tented city seems to send his blood gushing, and the youthful joy rib becomes active.
 Perhaps were the truth only known, few flashes of satisfaction slso play tag up and down many well-seasoned spines on circus day. When the show rolls into town and the jungle babies begin to make their presence known, dad, uncle. grandpa and several aunts in every family think 1t advisable to accompany some young scion to the tented arena, whereby, allowing the dear child to feast his eyes, he may expand his intellect. The Ringing hegd of forty elephants appears almost numerous enough to allow every small boy with peanuts who visits the show 2 separate animal to feed.
 The circus will be transported from Hartford to this city in five trains, and should arrive not later than 5 o'clock on the exhibition morning.
 Ringing Brothers circus day will begin with the splendid street pageant, leaving the show grounds at 10 o'clock This feature of the great show Is known here as surpassingly big and resplendent. The procession is always spick and span in every detail, and the people and the animals are smart and contented looking. A large number of the animal cages and dens are open and huge herd of forty elephants, gaily caparisoned, numbering patiently through the crowded streets, is a sight of lifetime.
 The wild animal collection with this show Is the most extensive and valua- ble in the world and requires 108 cages, dens and lairs to house it.
 The soldiery of the great nations of the world are represented by correctly uniformed companies equipped with colors and glistening accoutrements. Elaborately carved floats follow, upon which are depleted in magnificent al-' legory, typical phases of national life and character. These living pictures are artistic creations, muniflcently pre- sented, and idealize in charming form and color their worldwide subjects. Lilliputian vehicles, with fairyland he- roes and heroines and squadrons of conceited ponies, beribboned and curl ed, delight the little people. There are 850 horses with the show and all of them appear in the street procession. More than 300 of these animals are of the finest breeding and education, and are valued beyond price as perform CTS. This number Is more than twice as many as are owned by any other show. It represents a fortune in itself, but is only in keeping with the other big and excellent departments of Ring ling Brothers extraordinary circus growth. Modishly gowned equestri- ennes. gallant riders of knightly grace and style, daring horsemen of the plains and warrior fame, soldiers bold from every cline, and myriad other features of attractive parsonage are woven into this magnificent street spectacle. Acrobats, clowns and mu- sical "Merry Andrews" keep the fun rolling
 The Ringing Brothers have always had a progressive, modern and incom- parably big show, but this year they have gone to amazingly extravagant lengths in every department, not only surpassing their best previous achieve ments, but undoubtedly have reached the limit of human possibility.
