Rig CIRCUS At new iberia.
Barnum and Bailey Show To Exhibit
There On October 18th.

It is a pleasure to announce the 1ac'
that on Thursday, October %, Barnum
and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth
will give two performances in New
iberia, thus affording an opportunity
to the people of this city to visit the
greatest amusement enterprise the
world has ever known.
For fifty-four years the Barnum and
Bailey show has led the world in all
matters pertaining to big amusements
There is not country on eartn wnere
it is not as we'll known as III America,
nor a city of any size in the world
where it's mammoth tents have not been
pitched. Royalty has applauded II
and the peasantry has marveled at IT,
and all the world, civilized and saw
age, has contributed to its multiplicity
of attractions.
The spirit Of it's great founder, one
of the most wonderful men in all
history, p. T. Barnum, still lives in
the policy of the present management,
while the perfect system put into
operation by the great James A
Bailey, is still in operation. This
season the show is much larger than
ever before. and additional interest
attaches to it because the parade. a
feature which for several seasons has
been missing. is again in its custom
airy place.
For 70, r years artists, sculptors and
mechanics have been working day and
night at the foreign workshops OF the
show at Stock-on-Trent, England,
building this great street pageant, and
the result of their labors now is ex-
pressing itself in the most costly and
longest street parade that ever passed
through the streets of any city.
The program in the great exhibition
tent opens with new spectacle. The
acts that follow are all European and
of great novelty and variety. OF the
375 performers, nearly 800 have never
toured America before. The climax
of the bill is the most daring. and
awful exhibition of nerve ana death
daring ever attempted. The act Is
called "Autos that Pass in the AIR:
AS the name briefly explains. 1t is the
passing of two automobiles high
above the heads of the people, while
leaping a 5O-foot gap. The velocity
is gained by a lightning-like dash
down a steep steel incline, one machine
hugging close behind the other. a
sharp upward terminal of the tracl
sends the automobiles up into space
One gracefully arches across the ga!
to a spring platform, the other turn
| ing complete somersault around !
and landing behind it.
| The circus this season numbers L,
500 people, 700 horses, 1OS cages Q
animals, railroads trains. 70 camel
and nearly all the elephants Il
