Coming Direct From New York
This Time, 1t Will Arrive
in Afternoon.

Circus fans who love to watch
the elephants come in need not set
alarm clocks for daylight tomorrow
morning. For, according to the
agents of the Ringing Brothers
and Barnum and Bailey show, the
special CIRCUS trains are not due
in Washington until late tomorrow
afternoon.
Instead of jumping here from
Philadelphia, as in former years,
the big show this spring is coming
here direct from the Madison
Square Garden engagement in New
York city. 1t is explained that a
great deal of time is needed to get
the hundreds of wagons and mass
or paraphernalia out of the historic
cid Garden following the farewell
performance tonight.
After the wagons are loaded they
are taken to the East River and
ferried across New York harbor to
the Jersey. shore. They are then
loaded on the special circus trains.
1T is stated that it will~probably be

trains are loaded and on it's way
TO Washington. Unlike express
trains the circus cars cannot use
the Hudson tube, which leads direct
into New York city.
But even if the circus trains are
late in arriving here there will be
plenty to see at the show grounds
at Camp Meigs tomorrow. The
new tents, which arrived from win
ter quarters some days ago, are all
in place. The cookhouse is in
operation and the horse tents, hous-
ing the giant Percherons and
Clydesdales will be open to visitors
during the afternoon hours.
Those who go to the circus lot
IN the late afternoon will be most
likely to catch the first glimpse of
the arriving elephants and other
animals.
The New York engagement, which
closes tonight. will break all former
attendance records, according to re-
ports which have just reached here.
More than 100000 people have wit
messed the show during the past

w. A. Gerrie today categorically
denied that Mrs. RafaeIa Mer-

merely stimulated her heart ac-
ton. She is now apparently on

other world, which Mrs. Mer-
curio is said to have brought
back with her from the shadow
land, DR.. Gerrie said "that's her
