MANY LANGUAGES
IN THIS CIRCUS
EMIT EVEN DIFFERENT
TONGUES SPOKEN WITH BAR
MUM AND BAILEY.

If it is odd, unusual and amazing
things that one wants to see the place
in which to see them according to the
show man who is in the city, is the
Barnum and Bailey circus which is to
be here on Wednesday next. Before
country last October they We're i'm
pressed with the fact that nothing
hackneyed or old-fashioned in the way
of acts was wanted. Novelties was the
cry and nothing was said about ex-
pense. AS a result when the three
hundred and seventy-five performers
who take part in the one hundred and
ten acts on the circus program as
sembled in New York it was found
that over two hundred of them were
Europeans every one of whom had a
soon learned that u languages were
spoken and the necessity of inter-
prefers was at once made obvious. At
the most opportune time a German
clown stepped into the breach with
the remark that he could speak II
languages fiuently. In the course of his
conversations with the people in the
circus, the clown found a II;ndoo IN
the freak department who was a lin
gust. but his great find was in the
cook teri where he discovered a
Young Russian who could s.. ak ain ost
as many languages as nir,slit. The
youae fellow no longer washes dishes
ana :'ow has a position of Importance.
All of the foreign acts on the bill
this season have an air of novelty
about them There is a family of eques-
TRANS from Italy who do all of the
acrobatic feats that are usually per-
formed on the ground while on the
back of a galloping horse. Their great
feat is the building of what is known
as a three high stand on the pack Oh
the horse. There is a man who bal
ances himself on his head on the bar
of a swinging trapeZe and who does
a lot of odd things while in this up
side-down position. There are strong
men and strong women and the sylp-
like creature who can tie herself into
a knot as easily as she can tie neck
ribbon. other performers laugh at the
laws of gravitation and there are tight
rope walkers who do more wonderful
