WATCH FOR THE CIRCUS.

udy, August ~, lol INO pSllol lhlhCSo
and street parade will be given. In
recent seasons the big circus has had
spectacular features but this season
the management has gone to untold
expense in investing the big circus
with a wonderfully brilliant pageant
of Oriental splendor entitled "The
Wizard Prince of Arabia" This colos-
sal innovation is offered at the open
ing of the show, thereby doing away
with the old, stereotyped grand en-
tree" idea which has been worked to
death by all the tented aggregations
throughout the land.
In this realistic reproduction of the
glamorous, eventful days of the land
of the Thousand and One Nights"
Barnum & Bailey engage the services
of more than 1000 persons which en-
braces the dancing activities of hun
dreds of gaily bedecked coryphees and
a grand ballet effect at the finale
which leaves a lasting impression.
The spectacle opens with an elabor-
ately decorated setting of Arabic land
where there is much confusion over
the departure of the prince and his
five wizards who perform modern day
miracles in helping their noble master
conquer strange domains. The subse-
quent adventures of the prince and his
wizardly retinue which sets forth from
their native heath with horses gaily
caparisoned and amid great and
gorgeous spectacle. In quick success
sion follows the invasion of King
Babar's realm in India where by the
magic aid of the five wizards, the
prince is enabled to win the heart and
hand of the kings daughter. There's
a magnificent wedding feast which is
produced in Kaleidoscope splendor,
teeming with life, action and color.
The ballet finale was pronounced by
the press of New York city to be the
last word in circus pageantry.
In addition to the grand opening
there is the usual circus program of
mid-air sensation, daring feats on
trapeze bar, tight wire and horseback
by $50 arenic performers. Imported
features galore, which includes the
famous Icelandic troupe of athletes,
two troupes of Oriental plate and cup
spinners and acrobatS, the human flies
walking head downward on the crystal
mirror, the midget equestrian, Bird
Millman, the Tango queen of the tight
wire, the wonderful Weise troupe of
equilibrists, a wild west exhibition of
lassoing and broncho busting, the fam
Gus Schiavoni troupe of gymnasts, the
Imperial Viennese troupe of flying
events at the close.
There are numerous other big fea-
lures and all combined make Barnum
& Bailey's circus the biggest and best.
The Barnum e Bailey circus carries
everything imaginable from baby
lion to a tangoing elephant in the wild
animal line; acts of a death-defying
nature, novelties galore, six augment
ed bands, astonishing wild animal per
formers, startling equestrian features,
arenic feats of strength and magic, a
