in Circus Parade

A team of llamas pulling a fairy
tableau float, is one of the novel sights
found this year in Ringing Brothers
street pageantry. There is also a
team of eight zebras, which are sup
posed to be unbreakable. Six ele-
plants, driven tandem, and hitched to
an immense British Indian chariot Of
war is still another sight. A team Of
twenty camels, driven by one man,
pulls another heavy art van.
Ringing Brothers have surpassed
all their brilliant records with this
new spectacle. II was built in the
foreign workshops of the show in Eng
land last winter, by an army Of the

shaws, thrones, ships of state and pail
anquins are hand-carved and burnish-
ed with pure gold-leaf. The costumes
are Of the finest silks and broad
cloths. They were designed and woven
in France. The flags, banners, scarfs
and standards are expensive works of
Japanese art The harness is silver
mounted.
This parade is equivalent to a tour

Jahs, ameers, pashas, caliphs, sheiks,
