LARGEST CIRCUS IN
WILMINGTON TODAY

Then came the procession through

big, beautiful horses driven in teams of
eight and ten were pulling the cages
into that vast circle which constitutes
the ZOO. Elsewhere tents of every size.
" In all, were going up and ferruled
stakes being driven home by men who
whistied at their work. The chug-
chug OF the miniature pile-drfvers, used
where the ground was hardest, sounded
deep-noted accompaniment, and
stretches of canvas and gayiy tagged
streamers slipped skyward at seemingly
every angle.
1t is no wonder that the Ringing
Brothers have eliminated the street
parade this season. For to a casual
observer it would seem that the para
phernalia and mammoth properties of
this great double circus have increased
by fully third. Those who made in
quiries this morning, learned that this
was largely due to the addition of the
recently acquired European trained wild
animal show, purchased by the Ringing
Brothers and now made part of their
regular circus program. This addition.
together with more than so trained
Barbary stations. menage and high

OF vans is required to transport the
segments of the several steel arenas
which We're this morning erected in the
main tent. In these steel enclosures are
performed the newly-added troupes of
trained tigers, bears, lions, leopards.

All are presented on one mammoth pro-

men and women performers, a grand

clowns and no end of novel displays.
