The Gollmar Brothers show which

nected with it, from the street parade
to the concert. The press of other
cities have made only the most ia

parade. Even when the show visits
territory where it has never been, its
magnificent street pageant SO agree
ably surprises the public that they are
sure to crowd the immense tents.
1t Is in the parade that the manage
ment of a circus can show to good adj
vantage the stability and character Of
the aggregation. If it Is a cheap con-
Germ, giving only ordinary perform
ances, its parade will tell the tale. If
1T is really meritorious the street dis
play will demonstrate the fact. The
splendid equipment Of the great Coll
mar Brothers circus is shown to ex-
cellent advantage in the big parade
land it is always complimented. The
horses are in fine trim, and the tab.
leaux, wagons, dens, cages. and char
/ lots are resplendently decorated with
costly carvings, gilt and varnish. Ar
unusually large number of dens are
open in the parade, and the genera
public is given a free exhibition of {
fine. array of wild animals. Ali in all
lit is pronounced by many, the fines
and best circus display ever seen upor
