A "tip" was secured today indicat
ing that the Ringing circus would
visit Norfolk. Barnum & Bailey re-
Gently had a "skirmisher" here but
he failed to connect with Norfolk

in the interest of the other big show
owned by the circus trust. In forma-
ton comes in an indirect way from
the Ringing organization that the cir
Gus, which Is said to carry 1000 peo-
pie, has contracted with the Union
Pacific to carry its special trains over
the Columbus-Norfolk branch for a
| Norfolk date.
