AS carefully an an architect draws
plans for structure worth millions,
the builders of circus parades go
about their work of building pageants
for street professions. All winter a
staff of artists and artisans were
busy making the new street parade
of Sells-Floto Ciraus, whish will BIT
in Americas Saturday, October IS.
Like all circus parades this pro-
cession reflects greater things to be
seen in the performance, and conse-
quently expense was not spared in
making the parade the finest ever Of
fered in this country. 1t is more than
two miles long, and in it are wagons
made of special woods imported from
India-China because of their dura-
bility and qualifications to take on
and retain the highest possible finish.
There are scores of chariots, the gold
leaf on which represents a small for
tune, and these are emblematic of
the different sections of the civilized
world. Their grandeur was not sur

passed by anything seen at the Dun
bar, or Inauguration of the victory
of India. That was said to be the
most gorgeous display of color and
richness in the wsrld.
Interspersed among the chariots
are huge dens of animals gathered
from all over the earth, and wonder
full specimens of their kind There
are four bands, three caliopes and an
organ with tones as mellow as those
of many church organs. Horses,
horses of the finest kinds, haul these
chariots, wagons and calliopes, and
really constitute a horse show. -Four
bands dispense real circus music and
twenty clowns mounted on Rocky
mountain canaries, as burros are
called in the west, are continually
devoting themselves to making fun
for old and young folks alike.
The street parade, which will take
place at ten-thirty show day, repre-
sents an investment of hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
