CIRCUS HERE TO-DAY.
RINGLINGs' BIG SHOW
Route of March for the Three-Mile Long
 Parade.

The big white tents of the Ringing Brothers circus. with all their mag netic living features, will become a part of New Haven this morning. The five special trains conveying the great col ony of people, beautiful horses, rare animals, gilded caravans and myriad properties will arrive at intervals of an hour shortly after midnight. It will not take long to unload the eighty-fve cars belonging to the big show and to establish the strange city at the Elm City show grounds.
 The route of the great circus parade, which will start from Elm City park at 10 o'clock this morning, will be as follows:
 To Hobart street, to Whalley avenue, to Elm, to State, to Chapel, to Howe, to Whalley avenue and thence to the grounds.
 The man with the circus habit will see the big tents go up and watch the preparations made for an early break fast. And what a breakfast!
 The men who work in the open at al hours of the day and night, like circus workmen, must eat, and they go at 1t with ardor Six or seven chops, five or six boiled potatoes and three or four cups of coffee are a mild stimu- lant to the hungry canvas man who does the hardest kind of work before the rest of the world is awake. It takes less than an hour to throw up the cook tents and prepare breakfast for the circus army.
 Parade Three Miles Long.

Nearly every man, woman and child connect ed with the big enterprise takes part in its winding glory, Hundreds of beautl- full horses and graceful and expert rid CTS interest the lover of pedigree hors- e5, Miniature animal dens, pert and beribboned ponies, fairy land ideals and rollicking clowns inspire pleasure for the little people. Scores of open animal dens, forty elephants, camels and other beasts seldom seen, hold the attention of the student of natural his- tory Soldier types, racial groupings, fashionable whips, weird musicians, jol- ly students, court followers, Nautch dancers, Sun. worshippers, fortlersmen, Japanese fiower girls and many other features will give variegated color and charm to the three-mile long parade for everybody
