A real, big, three-ring circus viii ar
rive in town today. 1t is the Hagen
back Wallace shows on their first west
ern tour and coming to Salt Lake Tor
the first time. They have shown III Be
attic and the northwest and arrive here
on their three trains via the oregon
Short Line from PocatellO this morning.
Though this show is new to the west, IL
is well known TO all those who have
ever seen it in the east. 1t is stamped
with class and has received the nigh
est praise wherever exhibited as being
the only circus in the world having
trained wild animals. Carl Hagenbeck
is known the world over on account OF
his geological garden at Stillingen, near
Hamburg Germany, which is also the
largest wild beast market in the world.
Naturally It is to be expected that the
Hagenbeck Wallace shows have Won
derful collection of trained and IN
trained animals, this being The one big
feature of this circus. Imas me a man
in steel cage with two African lions,
pair OF Bengal tigers, several NAM
moth polar bears and some leopards,
and he is armed with nothing more for
midable than a lash-putting this col
lection of wild animals through various
tricks, and you have an idea Of what
Jean Helliet does in the opening act OF
this show. SignOr Helliet may be seen
to twist the tails of the lions, apply the
whip to the tiger at times and wrestle
with the polar bears as calmly as if he
were fondling a lap dog. The tricks that
these animals have been laugh to per
form are said to be marvellous. For eX-
ample, the tiger may be seen to leap
through a blazing hoop, the lions ride
elephants and horses, and the leOpaTds
roll barrels and do various other stunts
And just to upset that old theory about
the man-eaters of the jungle, Helliet
may be seen to feed hts collection Of pets
raw meat from the naked hand and es-
cape uninjured. The equestrian features
of the circus are second only to the per
fOrmances given by the trained wild
animals There are a score or more Of
eXcellently SchoOled horses that do the
usual stunt with many Improvements
and variations. quadruple vauIting
act by the five Bednis, the famous Eu-
ropean equestrian artists, and four fox
terriers do a vaulting act of their own
that is said TO be simply marvellous.
