have been rehearsing and shaking off the
winter lethargy.
1t h two in one this year for the

bearing their own name with the big
show founded by Barnum & Bailey.
From Baraboo. Wis, where the Ringing
circus wintered for years, trainloads Of
animals and equipment have already
been sent to Bridgeport, Conn, the
winter home OF Barnum q Bailey's. and
next Saturday and Sunday the combina-
ton in several trains will be shipped to
this city.
This week the show bosses will select
from the two shows the best specimens

will be larger than New York has ever

big, indeed, that It may be necessary to
