BARNES WILD
ANIMAL CIRCUS
THREE RING ENTERTAINMENT
WILL BE HERE ON THURSDAY
MANY FEATURES FROM THE
ANIMAL WORLD WILL BE ON
EXHIBITION.

Tucked away somewhere deeply in
the inner most consciousness OF every
human being is the remembrance Of
the first curcus w attended. Time
has wrought many changes but the
circus has not gone backwards. In
the onward progress the al G. Barnes
big three ring wild animal circus has
forged to the front until now it is
the largest exhibition of it's kind in
the world. This big show win give
two full and complete performances in
Fargo on Thursday, June 30.
There is not a village of n size
in the United States or Canada where
the lame Of the AL g Barnes circus
is not a household word. With the
show is carried the greatest and most
varied collection of animals ever as
sembled together at n time. There
are more trained animals with the
show than may be found in the COM
bined menageries Of the four largest
~circuses.
The AL q. Barnes circus is the one
show that's different. 1t is In a
class by itself. The feats performed
by the man beating forest bred ani-
mails have never before been dupli-
Gated in any exhibition. No better

than that by one of Americas fore
most college presidents who after wit
Messing a performance referred TO it
in a personal letter to the owner as "a
college for the higher education of
dumb beasts
With the show is carried $50 edu-
Gated and trained animals. Among
them r twenty African forest bred
lions, a herd of elephants, a carava
of can1els. including a baby ship OF
the desert" leopards, royal Bengal
tigers, pumas, bears, jaguars, hyenas,
zebras, monkeys of every known spe-
cies, dogs and ponies. Every animal
carried with the show is a performer.
Among the many favorites to be
seen will bet Herr Louis Roth and
his twenty performing lions. Mai.
Robert Thornton and his troupe of
performing bears, Professor Emery
and his herd Of Siamese elephants,
Nine. F1orine and her educated Per-
sian leopards, Captain Stonewall and
his sea lions. Miss Ethel Bonde and
her trained Arabian stations, lions,
monkeys, dogs and ponies and Mime.
La Monte and her royal Bengal tig-
ers.
All the wild animal acts are per-
formed in steel arenas weighing many
tons, under the supervision Of a corps
OF the worlds greatest n most cele-
brated trainers. Altogether there are
more than half a hundred hearts still
ing acts, each of which has never yet
been duplicated with any animal ex-
hibition in the entire world.
Some idea of the magnitude Of the
show may be obtained when n takes
into consideration that it requires
twe~nty-eight specially constructed
railroad cars to transport this ZOO
logical paradise. Three hundred m
ployes are required to operate it. Every
one of whom has an especial task to
perform for it must be remembered
there are no drones with a circus.
The amount of feed for the animals
for month is equivalent to q small
fortune.
Al G. Barnes is Familiarity known
everywhere as 'the animal master or
Americas greatest Snowman" He
personally supervises and directs each
and every performance. He prides
himself with the clean and high tone
standard he has always held for the
