CIRCUS PARADE ALL NEW
Longest and Most Perfect Street Pa
geant Soon to be Seen Here.

Longest and Most Perfect Street Pa
geant Soon to be Seen Here.
A man is known by the company he
keeps. A circus is known by its
parade. When the Great Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers Big United Shows
come to Bennington on Thursday,
August 4 the first and only new cir
Gus parade in fifty years will be pre-
scented on a scale of magnificence that
marks a new epoch in the progress OF
amusements.
Fresh paint does not make new
circus. There are still the same old
things there, lily disguised by differ
ent gaudy colors, but nevertheless
the same. The management of this
circus has discarded everything it
ever possessed in the way OF equip
ment, selling it to various small
shows throughout the country and
keeping none of its travelling assets
but it's splendid name, which no
amount of gold could buy The sum
of $1,0O0,0O0 was spent in the rebuild
| ing of a new parade alone. The re-
suit OF this expenditure Is something
not to be told in words.
There are three miles Of this pa
rade. II has more real attractiveness
in an instructive as well as an enter
tanning way than all the parades that
have gone before 1t since the first cal
Hope shrieked its gladstone way
,across the continent. In it more wild
animals are shown than any other
circus possesses. Over coo horses
and l 1000 people are employed. The
hundreds of vehicles are hand carved
and gilded with pure gold. The cos
tunes are from the looms OF France.
There is statuary copied from the
masters by Italian artists at Rome.
The thousands of flags. banners and
standards are richly embroidered
works of art from Japan.
AS an exposition Of the various
TYPES of the human family the long
procession is a congress OF nations
From the savage. South sea islander
in chains to the royal men and wo-
men OF the European courts there is
not state or condition of human life
that is missing. The characteristic
music OF all nations is also represent
ed by weird string and reed orches-
tras great brass bands, lutte players,
tom-tom orchestras, pipe organS,
drum. fife and bugle corps. castanet
ballets and barbarian chanters.
For the special delight OF the chill
dren there is q section devoted to
fairyland spectacles. In il are dis
played many elaborate tableaux
floats, grouped, with the characters OF
child lore, fantastic dreamland chari-
OTIS OF Furnished gold and floating
rose bowers all drawn by llliputian
ponies. From the great thirty-horso
band chariot I'm the lead to the tail
end of the line, the parade is NOV
ing panorama OF world wonders. II
tells the history OF the ages in stup
endous animated pictures.
No other shows In the world have
ever spent as much money on equip
ment as il has cost this circus for the
gorgeous new outfit II is appearing
with this season. Those who see the
parade here, visit the show grounds
look at the menagerie and witness
one OF the performances will b,
treated to more genuine surprises
than they have ever enjoyed In al
their past circus days.
