Prepare for Circus Day.

The full and complete consideration
and attention for the comfort and
pleasure Of its patrons given BY the man
assmsnt Of the Hagsnbsek-Wallaes show
which exhibits here ID matter Of record.
Fully realizing that circus day Is the one
big holiday Of all the year. the manage
ment has proceeded along lines to make
possible . full realization Of al the day
counts for or promises in the minds Of
youth and adult. From the moment OF
early arrival Of the trains bearing these
greater shows until their departure In
the night, every consideration will bs
shown the public. The populaes will re-
esive an early morning welcome where
the trains are unloaded. Ths manage
msnt knows that the unloading has GER
tain fascination for every American whose
blood runs red. It further knows that
this process affords an object lesson in
systematic and concerted effort and
splendid discipline that is not only won
derful to the layman, but Of exceptional
impressionistie value to the child. To
the end that the public at large can view
the interesting operation without fear Of
unpleasant experience the train superin-
tsndsnt, and through them their subordi-
mates, have been instructed to be polite
and courteous at all times and in no pos
sibls manner to offend the most sensitive.
either by word or action, On the show
grounds the same rule is rigidly enforced
in all departments. Ladies without es-
eort and unattended children are assured
respectful consideration. either inside or
outside the tents. Every employee Is
constituted q guardian for their protse-
ton. No obnoxious practices Of anv
character will bs permitted Within the
limit controlled by the shows. In the
menageris tent there will Be In constant
attendance graduate students Of natural
history who will freely impart any de-
sired Information. and ready at all times
to answer questions. The seating ar
rangsmsnt In the arena tent will strongly
appeal to those who have hitherto COM
plaesntly withstood the torture Of hard
planks and dangling extremitiss. Port
able opera chairs with both feet and
back rests are earnsp by the Hagsnbsek-
Wallace shows for the convenience and
comfort Of its patrons. A corps Of uni
formed ushsrs will assist patrons to seats
and be ut the their command at all times.
Nothing has been left undons that would
tend 70 enhance the comfort, pleasure
.nd peace Of mind Of the patrons Of these
uraat shows
