Nearly all great arculc novelties
originate in Europe aud Asia. No
sooner have they been exploited in
foreign audience rooms Than they ara
secured by Barnum and Bailey
agents. Invariably novelties are IN
trodueed TO America by this circus
When they cease to be novelties
they are passed down TO other shows
and another imported budget OF
wonders takes their places This
years program is particularly abund-
ant l. is a purely foreign bill.
Over 100 startling acts are present
ed by 400 of the leading artists o.
the world. The show employs 1880.
people. 1t has 700 horses. In its
menagerie are 102 cages. pens. thinks
and dens in which are displayed
zoo wild and semi-domestic ami
mails. Among them are forty
elephants and thirty camels. There
are four siraffes. One of them Is
a baby, just reaching to its mothers |
knee. 1t is the first giraffe baby
ever born or exhibited in this coun-
try.
The main performance is given in .
three rings, on two stages, on al
immense hippodrome track and in a !
dome 400 feet long The climax of |
the program is the death-dive of /
dome of the tent and lands on his
chest OF small skid three feet from !
the ground.
None the less thrilling is the |
spectacular act of Jupiter. This !
horse goes up in a bal
loon and comes down amid a shower
of fireworks. These acts reach the
utter extreme of sensationalism. An
other wonderful feature is added by
the performance of one of the stages
of an uncannily human like Chin
panzee, Charley, the First, who is the
greatest bicycle rider and juggler on
earth.
The circus has built new equipment
1t was devised and executed in the
foreign workshops of the show in
England. Five long railroad trains
are needed to haul it from city to
city. 1t costs the management So
100000. With all these added i'm
and expenses, the
Barnum and Bailey show now stands
in the zenith of glory. Never before
in it's history of splendid achieve
ments has it been so attractive as
now. 1t opened its spring engage
ment in Madison Square Garden,
New York City, before the most dis
tinguished audience that ever assem-
bled in a circus arena. 1t made the
biggest hit in all its career.
