BIC SHOW ABSORBED
The Hasenbeck-Wallace institution is Greatly Enlarged-Three- Ring Circus, Trained Wild Animal Show, and Racing School
 Combined.

Judging from information at hand, |the Hagenbeck Wallace Shows must be the standard of excellence by which all other amusement enter |prises should be measured When these shows exhibit here September |27 it Is said the foundation for this assertion of superiority and magni. tude will be apparent. The Hagen beck Wallace shows have grown to a triple-feature enterprise that Is more comprehensive than any other tanted institution. In its augmented form 1t embraces besides the great Wallace Circus and original Hagen beck Trained Wild Animal Show on East Indian Exhibition and Hindoo Festival that would rival the Feast of Belshazzar and cast into oblivion Ithe Oriental grandeur and glories of lthel famous Arabian Nights. Tn en- Ilarging for it's zenith of greatness no effort or expense was spared to build an institution of such tremendous scope, that failure al reaching the scoveted ranking position in the amuse- hment world would be impossible. That success has attended the effort is now a matter of record.
 Three practically distinct shows, have been blended into a harmonious
 whole. Individually, each from the
 standpoint of extent or worthiness,
 they would compel the attention and
 admiration, and presented together
 they make fer a proposition that IS
 las gigantic as it is irresistible.
 The servces of one thousand people
 land four hundred horses are requir- led. The tents are said to be the
 biggest ever constructed and the par
 aphernalia is of the best from the smallest toe-pin to the immense can
 vass tops. Three hundrtll internr- ltional arenic champions participate in
 the circus performances and many
 orthodox acts necessary to give the lproper circus atmosphere. The ma-
 jority of the performers nave recent lily been imported from foreign coun
 tries. and very few of them have ey-
 CT appeared before in America. Three
 rings, two elevated stages, an aerial
 dsclave and hippodrome are necessary
 for the exploitation of their various
 feats, including every sort of per
 formance that other circuses boast of
 and many startling events no other shows present.
