A BIG CIRCUS
Promotion of Publicity that Costs Hun
c;reds of Thousands Annually.

Advertising a big circus is problem
that the general public knows very lii
tie about, and yet ii is most interest
ing and expensive one. 1t is not suf-
lcient that circus should have &
great list of attractions; it is equally
necessary that the public should BE-
made acquainted, in an allurng way,
with what the circus has to offer in thA
way of entertainment. To do this en-
cages the efforts of an army of sliille
agents, who have given years of study
TO the question of publicity -promotioa
and who have associated with them al
other army of willing assistants 10
successfully carry out their ideas.
What is the first important step il
advertising a big circus?" was th4

OCTOPUS GETS
ENDURANCE Run
DOWN THE BAY

The submarine Octopus had a three
hour endurance run yesterday afternoon
by the naval trial board that Is conduct
ing the governments comparative subma-
rine boat tests in Narragansett bay, the
gasoline engines, which were alone used
as a motive power, working very salts
factorily.
The purpose OF yesterdays trials was 10
determine the radius of action of the boat,
and no effort was made toward speed, the
Octopus going at a fair touring rate. The
radius OF action OF the boat was deter
mined by the board by measuring the
amount OF gasoline in the tank at the
start and again at the finish OF the run.
From this the amount consumed was
found TO be less than 200 gallons. The ra-
dius OF action measures how far and how
long the boat can run without having TO
make port for supplies OF fuel. The octo-
pus has a capacity of about 1000 gallons.
The naval trial board announced yester-
day afternoon that the submerging tests
In which the two submarine boats will
have to go down to the depth OF 300 feet,
will be held in the vicinity OF Boston
light, that being the nearest place where
the required depth can be obtained.
d The officials OF the Electric Boat COM
pany, owners of the Octopus. have noti-
fed the board that they are ready to
submit their boat to this test, but as yet
nothing has been heard from the owners
OF the Lake. The board has also decided
on the naval coaling station at Bradford
as the place where the 24-hour submerged
tests will be held.
Today the Octopus went TO Coddington
cove, where II was put through a series
of manoeuvres.

Welt regards IL as already practically set
tied that William II. Taft will be the
candidate OF the Republican party for
president in 1908.
Some OF those who talked with Mr..
Roosevelt have found him Of the opinion
that the captuation Of Chairman Brown
OF the state central committee and
George B. Cox Of Cincinnati to the Taft
forces ended the contest TO determine
whether the name OF Taft or Foraker
should be presented TO the national con-
vention as Ohlos favorite son. Senator
Dick. who threw in his lot with Senator
Foraker. is expected TO follow suit.
There is a very general belief in ad-
ministration circles thatsuntil the con-
