BIG CIRCUS ANNOUNCED.
earn1m & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth to Exhibit Here Soon.

6arnum & Bailey Greatest Show OF
Earth to Exhibit Here Soon.
The billboards and dead walls about
the city are announcing in all the elo
quence Of pictorial art that the Barnum
and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth il
to visit Owosso, Thursday, Aug. 31st.
Great interest attaches to the event
because it is again the policy of this
foremost circus to present a street
parade In the forenoon. Their new
open air spectacle is the wonder of the
age. 1t costs the management over
81, 900, 900.
The history of the Barnum 81 Bailey
show is part of the history of America.
With the stalwart P. T. Barnum as its
originator and it's wonderful achieve.
ments perpetuated by James A. Bailey,
the management has ever maintained a
standard approached by no other show.
Barnum was the pioneer of all great
arenic events. In his day his genius
for big things was far in advance even
of the present age. He perfected the
system which makes the circus of now
possibility.
This is the only circus whose tours
cover the entire world. There is not a
land 80 remote but the management
has an agent there. There is not city
of any size in any country but this
show at some time during it's fifty. five
years existence has spread its fourteen
acres of tents there. With the advant-
age of this foreign prestige, the entire
world has become its store house.
Nothing is out of its reach.
This years program is one of unusual
interest even for this circus. 1t EN-.
braces all the European talent of the
last winter season. The menagerie has
been increased and the new parade is
an exposition of the worlds curios.
The performance is given under the
largest canvas ever erected. Beneath
it are seats for $1,000 persons, three
rings. two stages, vast hippodrome
track and an aerial enclave filed with
bewildering labyrinth of apparati.
The circus employs 1,500 people. 1880
of whom travel with the organization.
There are 700 horses, forty elephants
and 1900 other animals. The train up
on which it travels is more than mile
long and is divided into five sections.
