The main attack, carefully conceived

their possession, it was hoped by the
Spartacides that a large number of

forcing the American authorities to

No further plans seemed to exist.

extreme vigilance and intelligent hand

Saidee Sneezes in
Her Bath and Lo!
Circus Is DELAYED
That's One Reason, but Old
Bolivar Also Did His Bit.
and so Did Camelopards,
Not to Mention the p. A.
1t happened this way.


The official communicate issued daily
by the intelligence corps of Ringing
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey com
bined shows says SO. and it must be
true. It's the real reason. the corps
insists, why the circus didn't reach
New York until early this morning
Listen to it.
Everything was in readiness at the
winter quarters Of the circus in
Bridgeport, Conn, for an early start
yesterday morning. Everything-that
is, but Bolivar. He is the largest of
the 'ponderous pachyderms s"-which
means elephant on a circus programme
that was brought on from the Ring
Train riding makes Bolivar car-sick
and when his keeper tried to lure him
into freight car he sat on the gang
plank and refused to move. There he
sat until Headkeepcr "Deafy" DenmWl
summoned other elephants. who pushed
him, still sitting, into the car. That's
why the circus was late.
In case that doesn't sound convinc-
ing, here's another reason.
Saidee, the "blood- sweating behe-
moth'-that's what circus literature
calls a hippopotamus-ha the hay
fever. No one ever has hay fever quite
as badly as a hippo. Well, the circus
started off all right from Bridgeport
and Saidee was in her bath, when she
sneczed. The bath was distributed i'm
partially over the rest of the animals
in her car. Until they had dried off
the suffering beasts and got Sadee a
tent for a handkerchief, the circus
couldn't proceed. So, Of course, it
was late.
And here is the final. fve-star extra
reason:
The towering camelopards the

never visited New York. They had been
warned on their journey along Second
Avenue from Mott Haven to Madison
