home in the wan hours of morning
on very uncertain legs. He wabbles
and staggers and falls down. Peo-
pie expect to see him go tumbling
down to the ground. But he does
not leave the wire. Bottle in hand,
collar awry and hat smashed, he
wends his wabbling way from one
end of the wire TO the other. His
act would be funny if done on the
solid floor of a stage. for II is an ar
tistic bit of character work. Pre-
scented on a lofty wire, with no net
beneath. the performance is a hun
dred fold more attractive.
Another sensational act is present
ed by the Bonesetti family from It
ally. These clever acrobats are
among the greatest performers of
Europe and their act is classic.
There is also Albert Schumann's
company of trained horses from the
Circus Schumann of Germany. These
horses enter the arena concealed in
large barrels which are piled on
big brewery wagon. They are not
discovered by the audience till they
kick the heads out of the barrels
and jump into the ring. Three new
herds of telephoning elephants,
troupe of baby elephant actors and
Loyars famous dog equestrian are
other features. novel in the ex-
IRENE.
Among the aerialists are the Alex
troupe, the greatest double somer-
saulters and vaulters among the
worlds high air artists; the illus
trious Klarkonians, the Flying
Wards, the Aeriol Smiths and the
great Delno troupe. Prominent
equestrians are the Dutton family,
Emma Stickney, Florence Harris,
the Clark brothers, Lola Mitchell,
Jnez Bell, Cecile Fortune, Emma
Donovan and the Crocker family of
gypsies.
To this great array Of talent is
added a complete menagerie with
nearly all the elephants in America,
one Of the smallest in captivity and
another PA years old. The fore
noon parade is the most elaborate
the Ringlings have ever presented.
