matic and elaborate undertaking ever attempted by a circus, marking an epoch even with the greatest show on earth After the spectacle come the arenic features with a host of start ling surprises. The elephants swarm into three rings as a starter and show the effects of their winter schooling
 They do many new stunts among them a ball game with catcher, batter and pitcher equipped with mask, pro tector, glove, ball and bat. As eli max the batter makes the run of the bases and by numbering slide home makes a home run. The Mikado's roy al troupe of athletes are another new act, entirely unlike anything ever seen before. There are twenty in the troupe, experts in jiu jitsu and JaUan ese wrestling. In their games they at tack one another with a savage aban- don and ferocious enthusiasm which seems to Eetoken an entire absence of brOtherly affection. To the old circus goer, and to the performers themsel- yes, Miss May Wirth. is the real won der of the circus. This pretty little Australian miss-of the famous Wirth family-is the greatest bareback rider of her day, if indeed, of not all time. She is bur IS years old, the embodi- ment of grace and daring, and does everything upon her bareback horse that any of her male cOnTreres ac- complish.
 But there are other riders, some with names generations old in the cir
 
 GUS world such as the Davenports, the Seabert sisters. Stella Wirth, Brad ma and Derrick and Charles Siegrlst, who will dicert with riding displays of unuuestioned excellence. The. Berne brothers, and Kate Sandwina, the fe- male Hercules" will offer unusual per formances in their line, as will the Silvas, Portuguese pompiers, the De- koes. the Les Jardey's, the Fiorences, Meximo, the Corelli's and others. The serial displays feature the Siegrlsts, Silbon's. the La Marrs and Imperial Viennesse troupes, La Belle Victoria, "the Venus of the wire" is another headline act which would be feat ured" in any vaudeville bill.
 There wifi be trained animal acts without number, including seals, geese, dogs, baboons. pigs and roosters, While fifty clowns will furnish the comedy. Teddv's hat will be kicked around the ring and all the foibles and fads of the day come in far treatment at the hands of the chalk faced funmakers.
 Nor should the menagerie be over looked There have been notable ad- ditions including the birth of baby giraffe last winter, and recent purch- ases of rare animal types
 Tickets may be bought throuShout the day at Boehmer's Drug store, al no advance in prices.
 Both performances will be present. ed in unabridged fashion, and Will be in every way the same as recently gN- en in San Francisco, Los Angeles anu all the largest cities of the country. The circus closed last week tremend- ouslv successful enga cement of three days in Los Angeles, where the enter tainnent was pronounced far and away the finest circus ever seen upon the coast At the night performance | of the second day of it's engagement | thousands were turned away, and the l immense tent sheltered the largest au- dience ever brought together under a l circus canvas.
