RECORD CROWDS FLOCK
TO RINCLING circus

Ringing Brothers Circus played to
record crowds yesterday afternoon
and night. The crowd was handled
by the Wilmington g. Philadelphia
Traction Co, without a hitch and
without an accident.
Apparently all who saw the circus
performances were pleased. The gen.
eral opinion seemed to be that II was
about the cleanest and most enter
tanning circus ever given in Whining
ton from the "stupendous spectacle"
of cinderella" with its "colorful cav
alcade," to the chariot races that
concluded the show. Aside from the
galaxy of features that kept three
rings and two platforms occupied all
the time, the performance was syste'
matized with a lack of confusion that
was astonishing.
