The parade was feast for the eye
and treat to the ear. Bands dis
coursed music freely, the big steam
caliope belching forth steam and
cloudy black smoke like some seeth-
ing monster, pierced the ear with
siren melody, and substitute caliope
played by electricity furnished music
of a more pianissimo nature. There
were open dens of animals, sections
Of mounted men and women, clowns
in grotesque makeup and everything
that went to make up regulation
circus parade, and then some.
The circus performance this after
noon was just as good as the street
parade and the features included
wonderful feats accomplished by
troupe Of laps, the trained seals, the
two herds of elephants, the horizontal
bar artists, the aerialists, the riding,
and, of course the clowns, who were
really funny. The Sparks shows
sustained its reputation as one Of the
cleanest and best managed circuses
and deserves a big crowd tonight
