This is circus day. The show arrived
this morning while the first CLEANS of
dawn We're pinl1ing the eastern hills, and
it took four special trains to bring the
magnetic outfit into Salt Lake. The first
special carried the commissary depart
ment, many of the workmen, the horse
tents and parade features. The long
trains were scheduled an hour apart the
last special was composed entirely of
sleeping cars, of which there We're TWEEN
ty-six. Ringing Brothers require more
cars to carry their people horses, wild
animals and mechanical properties than
any other circus in the world.
Circus men are, above all things. hust-
lerS, and il took a short time for them TO
unload the horses and caravans for the
show grounds. There were crowds at the
railroad yards and along the TOadWayS
to witness the strange spectacle, and new
er before did they find a reward of equal
enjoyment. The rumble of the circus wa
gon is music of a kind that no other vehi-
Gle can produce, and the sight OF forty ell
ephants walking tandem up quiet road
way in the early hours of the morning is
sight to be remembered.
Feeding the Multitude.
Within twenty minutes after the first
wagons reached the show grounds the
cook ranges were steaming and the hun
cry wOrkmen of the travelling city We're
lined up for breakfast. Mr.. Webb, the
steward of the big show, was in here yes
terday and had bought the best fresh
vegetables and meats. The wOTkmen Of
the show work, sleep and eat out of doors,
and that makes for appetite, so that when
breakfast is served before the ground is
dry or the sun wide eyed, these sons of
toll are hungry and ii takes a lot to sat
isfy them.
For this mornings breakfast there were
ordered meats enough to average four
chops for 1000 people; go dozen eggs, 200
gallons Of coffee, 65 gallons of tea, pOta-
toes enough to make at least four for
each person and 600 loaves Of bread This
feeding of the colony of 1900 people three
times a day at places miles apart Is one
of the features of the circus business that
interested the United States government
They have had officers under special de-
tail with the Ringing Brothers shows

Show Better Than Ever.
The Chicago and st. Louis papers say
that Ringing Brothers circus never be-
fore offered SO good a program as this
year. About 375 performers are con-
cerned in the 100 acts of the rings. Most
of these artists are appearing in America
for the first time, and they are the pro-
fessiOnal cream of their native countries.
Among these, who shine as gymnast aero
bats, are the Persian Troupe Merze-Go-
lem. the Italian idols. MaTnellOM arnits,
the Carkonians, the ten flying Jordans,
Marguerite and Hanley, Patty Brothers,
Borsini Family, HOlloways, two Kauff-
man troupes. NOetZel family, Preset trio,
and aerial Smiths. Foremost among the
riders of the world that claim champion
shin are the Bedni family, Clark brothers,
Emma Stickney, HObsons, DeNenes and
