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

The billboards and dead walls about the city are announcing In all the elo- quence of pictoral art that the Bar mum and Bailey greatest show on earth Is to visit Birmingham on De- tober {. Great interest attaches to the event because 1t 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. It cost the management over s1,000.000.
 The history of the Barnum and Bailey show Is part of the history of America. With the stalwart P. F. Barnum as its originator and It's won derful achievement perpetuated by James A. Bailey, the management has ever maintained a standard approached by no other show. Barnum was the po- neer 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 n possibility.
 This Is the only circus whose tours cover the entire world. There is nos a land so remote but the management has an agent there. There Is not a city of any size in any country but this show at some time during it's 55 years existence has spread it's IA acres of tents there. With the advantage of this foreign prestige the entire world has become it's store house. Moth ing is out of it's reach.
 This years programme is one of un- usual interest even for this circus. IL embraces all the European talent of the last winter season The enagerie has been increased and the new parade is an exposition of the worlds curios. The performances is given under the largest canvas ever erected. Beneath it are seats for 15,000 persons, three rings, two stages. vast hippodrome track and an aerial enclave filled with a bewildering labyrinth of apparatus The circus employs 1500 people. 12S0 of whom travel with the organization There are TOO horses, 40 elephants and 1900 other animals The train upon which it travels is more than a mile long and is divided Into five sections
 The management promises a com plete new programme this season, hav- ing engaged a company of 400 of the worlds best artists, the larger portion of whom hail from European capitals John Ducander's troupe of bell ring ing horses, the wonderful Fonelli fam fly of acrobats from Italy. the Cannon troupe of Herculean jugglers, from England the Les Silvas from France, and the Konyot family of acrobatic equestrians are among the features. spectacular number Is added by Ju- piter, the balloon horse.
 Another sensation is found in the performance of Charlie the First He is a chimpanzee, yet he is the greatest bicycle rider and acrobat in the world He originated his act and learned it without human guidance. He has lear cd what he knows merely by his desire to initiate.
