An Ermy of Clowns VIII Be Here.

The Great London Shows Con- solidated present, along with their comedy department this year, numerous prominent testers, com monly called clowns" Delfugo is the principal jester, and associated with him are 45 kings of the clown ing world Along with these fun ny chaps, others also assist with comical antics.
 When interminging with citizens on the street none of them would be suspected of wearing the loose robes of fool, but when they are in the ring with their makeups on, they laugh and the crowd laughs with them. A jolly lot, and they have certainly helpel to unload at least temporarily the cares from the minds of thousands of people.
 Clowning is an art of itself, the best clowns are born, not made. The funmaking department of the Great London Show is fully up 70 the high standard of its other departments; in fact, many person will testify to the statement that the clowns with this show are worth the price of admission. Their work is appreciated, as the present strenous life of most people causes them to relish little pure nonsense now and then.
 Everything in all departments of the Great London Circus this year is positively new, refreshing and up-to-date. The big show will in Nogales, November 6.
