BIG CIRCUS IS
 DUE TOMORROW
At Dawn Will Arrive Four Trains of S5 Cars Each, Bringing l,lS0 People. .bSO Horses, 40 Elephants and Wonders Galore.

The really big circus of the world is
 coming tomorrow. It is styled Ring
 ling Brothers Worlds Greatest Shows
 and reviews of it in New York, Brook
 lyn and Philadelphia would seem to
 convey the impression that this show
 lives right up to it's title.
 Tomorrow morning along about dawn
 of day the show trains will reach this
 city. There are four of these trains,
 eighty-ffve cars in all. These trains
 carry 1-2S0 people: $50 horses, 40 ele-
 phants and other animal burdens that make for space and value. When all the tents are spread twelve acres or ground will be covered This circus settlement has everything that goes with a well regulated village except charter.
 By seven o'clock in the morning the big dining tent with accommodations
 for 1000 people will be in operation in full blast. This call for breakfast
 is always early because of the neces- sity for an early start of the street
 parade. The street display is made
 distinctive feature by the Ringing
 Brothers. The parade tomorrow will be three miles in length and will be marked by novelty and extravagance The manag cement announce that many of the animal denS will be open to
 view and that the 1.200 performers and employees connected with the show will have some part in the pageant.
 There will be six bands, cages con- Ialn1ng nOnS, C1ReFS, D6dTSs- pdIlILCi Ss
 wovles. monkeys. deer. antelope and hundreds of other denizens Of Jungle and prairie. elephants, 25 camels and six zebras on
 foot. Mounted bands of Arabs, hun dreds of mounted performers in hunt ing costume. paraders dressed as Mex jeans. soldiers and ancient Romans, clowns on wagons and dozens of other
 features contribute to the magnitude of the exhibition.
 Immediately after the conclusion of
 the march. the big tents will throw open their flaps and from two o'clock in the afternoon until tomorrow night, joy will reign supreme in "boy and girl land'' and other places to. where knee
 pants and short dresses are no longer au fait.
 Never before has circus been re- ceived with such enthusiasm as this one has been arousing all along the line. Its new parade. a complete new EEurope's artists. a new spectacle and a complete mena&erie, it is little wonder that RinglinE Brothers knocked New York Q twister.
 All last winter workmen were busy in the circus mills at Baraboo. Wis. constructing new railroad cars ana ring properties and building the cam ! vas payilions and new grand stands. The management is more than ever looking to the comfort of Its patrons as well as to their entertainment. No other circus has ever made more than one thriller. and some of them
 not even that. Upon that one feature. it has been the custom to center all their advertising energy, looking to it for thelr reputation. Ringing Brothers have no less than seven big sensa- tional acts any one of which is a big ger surprise than all the other shows have ever sprung. The rest of the | long program is in keeping with these thrillers and the artistic and finished
 aspect of everything that pertains to the show is something to be noted 1 only with the Ringlings.
 The foreign agents of the show were | unusually busy last winter and the result is a European program of great strength and novel interest. Nothing was imported that has any resembl- ance to- acts that have been seen on | this side the Atlantic and great dili-
 gence was used in searching out novel, ties.
 The same program that was pres- | ented in New York on the opening
 night of the show will be given here. | not detail being missing. The opera | tic concert will precede the regular ring | program. all of the menagerie will be displayed and the parade will be the l same.
