CIRCUS TO OPEN MONDAY.
Four Performances In Two DAYS in
This Citv.

The opening Of the circus season IL an
nounced for next Monday and Tuesday,
when the Adam Forepaugh-S Brothers
combined shows will give four exhibitions
Much stress is laid upon the magnitude of
the spectacle which forms an important
part of the performance. This is described
a realistic reproduction Of great
city confagraton. entitled Fighting the
Flames" enlisting the services of 600 act
Miles of scenery will be required in
arranging the street scenes, and there will
be real fire engines hook and ladder an
paratus. hose carts, life-savirig machinery,
hairbreadth escapes and heroic deeds of
bravery.
The menagerie of the combined shows is
said to be made up of the largest and
hibited under canvas. The two score ele-
plants embrace the Adam Forepaugh per-
forming elephants and the equally WELL
trained troupes from the Sells shows. Mer-
by clowns without number, who will be
busy throughout the entire performance
There will be many other attractions to
bewilder and delight.
Three enormous tents are necessary for
the accommodation of the 500 horses with
the Forepaugh- Sells circus. The stable, oc-
cupied by the heavy Percheron and Clydes-
dale draft horses Is model of equine neat
ness. while the Arabian thoroughbreds and
the ring stock occupy luxurious quarters in
separate tents. After all, the great attrac-
ton of the circus is the horse. The life
and animation of the horse, together with
the beauty and intelligence of the animal
lends charm and pleasure to the exploits
in the sawdust ring. contributory to the
grace and dash of the rider. The Fore
paugh-Sells shows. under the present man
agement. are said to surpass all previous
efforts in the circus world.
