BUFFALO BILL With
SELLS-FLOTO Circus

There are those in this world who
believe that circus lust moves" that
there is never a preliminary arrange
ment, that nothing is necessary for
big circus to travel throughout a season
except merely to load up its cars and
move on from one city to another. But
in reality, conditions are vastly differ
ent.
Just for example, the real CIRCUS sea-
son begins at the time most persons
believe 1t to be ending. For 1t is in Oc-
tober and November that the real work
of the summer to come is begun.
Agents must be sent forth. contracts
made purchases attended to, repairs
made new features added and the
whole route of the show for the season
made many a month in advance. And,
then, before that route can be followed,
man after man must be sent forth to
make the preliminary arrangements to
plan and to contract.
And thus it was that there came to
town yesterday, Harold Bushea,
traffic manager of the Sells-Floto cir
Gus and Buffalo Bill (himself) which
is TO exhibit here Saturday, June 6.
Mr. Bushea's task is that OF looking af-
ter the railroad arrangements for the
arrival of the circus here,
Incidentally" Mr.. Bushea said,
there's a good deal more work to do
this year than in others l have been
with the Sells Floto show, for the sim
pie reason that we've got bigger cir
Gus. And that's not advance agent
stuff either. We can't help having q
bigger show. There's Buffalo Bill for
instance, as an addition to the aggre-
cation, and he brings with him a whole
retinue of cowboys, ranch girls, riders,
ropers, Indians and other performers.
That, in itself would make the show
bigger, but that's just a beginning.
ITO tell the truth, we decided to en-
large all the way around this year, to
make everything about the circus new,
except the price, which stays at the old
familiar rs cents. But for the rest
well, as I said there's Buffalo Bill,
who will appear with his company In a
spectacle entitled 'Warpath' There is
Fora and her three herds of perform
ing elephants, Captain Dutch Ricardo,
the man who trains wild animals for a
10-eent buggy whip, there's Marguerite
Ricardo and her trained, but untamed
beasts of the jungle there's Devlin's
Zouaves, forty clowEs-and you can
count 'em If you want to-the Black
Liberty Horses, Rhoda Royal and his
famous troupe of high school horses
Fred Biggs. the funniest female imper-
senator / ever saw, the five United
States government Hyneys, and they're
brand new beasts, whole congress OF
equestriennes, hundred or so acrobats
and a<rialists two tight rope walking
ponies and Omar, the balloon horse
but you wouldn't listen to the whole
list You couldn't.
There's one way, however. of get
ting mighty good idea of what the
performance will be- Mr.. Bushea add
ed, and that Is to look at the parade
at 1890 o'clock the morning the show
exhibits here. All the cages will be
open. the nine bands will be playing
the clowns will be there and the Vo-
calina and the Giant Serenadum play
ing. And that parade, just as an honor
to this city, Will be led by Buffalo Bill
himself
