 Now the small boy IS in his glory. He showed passing interest in the opening of the baseball season, but the circus posters have had him hypnotized ever since they have been on tine bill boards.
 It Is great big circus--the com bination of the great show with a trained wild animal exhibition by Carl Hagenbeck and that of the great Wallace shows. Lions, tigers and leopards are made to perform all kinds of tricks and form pyramids in lone large steel arena. A tiger rides an elephant and jumps through a hoop of fire. Another feature is the riding of q lion on horseback, and the trained and wrestling Polar bears. which walk a tight rope. rides globes and glide down toboggan slides. A new act that has just been inn ported and will be seen in Hot Springs the first time is Kullarve, who walks up and down stairs on his head. He is said to be the only in diyidual that has ever accomplished this trick. The Flying Nelsons do some wonderful flights in mid-air. There are genuine champions of ev- cry equestrian and gymnastic school :. The famous Nelson family, in which four generations of one family par ticipate in their own original aero battle display.
 The very flower of European eques- trianism. the Four Iloyis. along with the Riding Corners and McCree- Davenport Troupe, in their wonderful melange of equestrian and acrobatic !feats.
 There are three enormous herds of elephants. Each of the huge beasts has special work to do. None of them waxes fat in idleness. Some draw heavy cages, some perform in the circus ring, and one is driven in cart and made to do high school act equal to any performed by horse. Two do police duty in look ing after the herd, three are walters sugar beets to each of the enormous and carry the hay and bran and troupe. Part of them are members of a stock company which has an extensive repertoire of tricks for the ring acts.
 The horse show is said to be the finest ever given. and the tents are open for inspection to the public all day today. The horses, many of which have never seen circus be- fore. are all of thoroughbred stock. land some of them have won blue ribbons.
 The parade this morning will be the most elaborate ever seen here. It Is all newly built, the equipment being the workmanship of four of the best forces of mechanics selected from all parts of the country. Ex pert wagon builders and cabinet makers have spared neither time nor expense in preparing this pageant.
 Two performances will be given, Train or shine, and there will be promenade concerts by Merrick's Military band one hour previous to the starting of the arenic displays.
 Reserved numbered chairs in the Igrand stand and admission tickets Twill be sold at the downtown office, Klein's pharmacy, at the same prices charged in the ticket wagons on the ahow grounds.
