BIG CIRCUS
AT PHOENIX
Ring!ing Brothers
Monday, September u

| Ringing Brothers World :
Greatest Show is to visit Phoe.
ni8 on Monday, September 81
New laurels won at Madison
Square Garden in New York be-
cause of the unprecedented ex,
tcellence of their performances.
It is in all respects the very best
circus that was ever organized
and the two performances at
Phoenix will be given exactly as
they weresented in Manhattan,
not the slightest change having
been made since the season
Eopsned there.
There are no less than seven
sensations ON the programme,
any oneof which is great enough
to give a circus distinction.
There are the wonderful Schu-
mnnn horses which waltz on
their hind legs, drink from large
glasses and roll each other
.aroand in huge beer barrels; ell
ephants that use the telephone,
conversiBg with each other over
the wire from one end of the
main tent to the other: the thrill
ing double-somersaulting auto
mobile act, performed by d young
French girl; Roblidello, the
Mexican wire wizard: the won
derful Loreli family Of acrobats,
and 100 other acts that are now
to America.
This will be the only opportu-
nifty for the people of Yuma to
see Ringling Brothers circus,
and probably never again will
such au array of European tai
ent be seen under one manage
ment. as the expense of giving
such programme is almost be-
yond belief.

Through streets that will be a
wonderland of color and march
ing to the accompaniment OF
scores of crashing bands and the
booming of the big guns of the
great feet of war ships in the
harbor, Don Gaspar de Portola
will make a triumphal entry

inaugurate the great festival that
is to celebrate the rehabilitation
of San Francisco and the return
Of the doughty old warrior to the

own eyes the modern miracle of
a city of marble and granite that
has been reared in three years
out of wilderness of shoulder

in Mid October, the throngs Of
visitors will be the guests of San
Francisco at q series of feteS,
spectacles, athletic tournaments,
balls and pageants that will set
a record for the world in the way

troops in the world.
English and German jackies
from the warships in the harbor
will march in amity. Squads Of
Japanese and Chinese lighting
