1t looks now as though large
percentage of the local popula-
ton, both young and old, will be
present at one of the perform
ances when the Barnum G. Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth exhibits
in Wilmington on July Is.
Not in several years has so
much local interest been evinced
in a circus event as has been
displayed this season in the COM
ing exhibition of the Barnum &
Bailey Circus. 1t is promised that
the show will display more new
and novel features than ever be-
fore, including 100 new acts from
Europe.
The principal feature is the
new Oriental spectacular pag-
cant, Persia, or the Pageants of
The Thousand and One Nights"
This great display, which is por-
trayed by 1850 persons, and hun
dreds of horses, elephants and
camels, depicts in pageantry the
famous tales of the Arabian
Sights. In New York City, where
this pageant was produced for
the first time this Spring, it was
announced the most gorgeous
and and stupendous Oriental dis
play ever presented in America.
Among the foreign circus
novelties to be seen for the first
time this season are four troupes
of wonderful Chinese performers
direct from Pekin, the Great
Hanneford family of riders; Sig
nor Bagonghi, famous dwarf
equestrian from Italy; James
Teddy, champion jumper of the
world; Pallenberg's two troupes
of trained bears, and a host of
other novel acts too numerous to
mention individually.
The Barnum & Bailey circus
is travelling this season on five
trains, made up of SO cars.
More than l400 persons are car
lied in the various departments
of this great show, which also
included an enlarged menagerie
of 10S cages and Al elephants.
A brilliant, new, three mile
street parade will be given on the
streets during the morning hours
preceding the first performance.

Jess Willard Increases
Work for Moran Bout

NEW YORK. March 3.--Stung by the
remark OF an all-seeing spectator that
the greater part OF Willard IL lard. the
,heavyewight pugilistic champion yes
terday increased his daily conditioning
routine for his ten-round bout with
Frank Moran In this city on March Is.
In the morning he trotted through the
soft snow OF Central Park. going more
than four miles around the bride path
before returning to his quarters for n
brisk rundown and n light luncheon.
In the afternoon he perceptibly in
creased his workout. much to the salts
faction OF the large crowd. who ypaid
20 cents each TO view the freak of the
boxing world" In action.
Free advice from acknowledged critics
OF condition seemed to have the desired
effect. for Willard really extended him
self. acting for the first time as II he
were serious In his endeavors. His
gymnastic exercises and his sparring
were done with spirit and he went
through his entire workout at a speed
warranted to reduce the amount OF
lard In willard"

an innovation. Willard boxed six rounds
instead of the usual four, meeting
