Only girls are going to take part in it, and only girls are going to have the pleasure of seeing it. And then there is going to be a big ring What circus would be com plete without ring?

There will also be a tight-rope walker. a marvellous fortune teller. all kinds of side shows a performing elephant. said to be the largest ever shown on this continent 4 human calliope which has been pracdcing nightly for the past week or two will also furnish entertainment during the evening"
