Circus days are here again.
and youthful Washingtonians, of
oil ages up to 95, contemplate a
gala festival during the sojourn
here of the big show at the Fifth
Street and Florida Avenue grounds,
northeast.
The pageantry of circusdom be-
gins before ever a stake is driven
on the show lot, for an event
eagerly awaited by thousands is
the unloading of the gaily-painted
wagons, the numbering elephants
and the various other elements
Of the mastodonic spectacle.
For those early risers the show
really began when locomotives of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Chugged into the yards near the
show grounds, and the circus
same to life.
Big Top, Little Tops
Trained crews began the un-
loading job the moment the trains
stopped, and the trek to the site
Of the two-day Sojourn began.
With the arrival at the lot, the
vast coordinated effort of raising
the big top and all the little tops
got under way.
1t was a brilliant spectacle
from the first. The trains, shin
ing in aluminium silver, afforded
a harbinger of what was to come,
and when the great spread of
white canvas was revealed, the
glamor of the circus made a uni
Yersal appeal.
This is the golden jubilee year
OF the Ringing Brothers and
Barnum and Bailey big shows,
and the whole atmosphere at the
lot is one of festivity. The show
arrived here, for those who are
statistically inclined, In 100

Because of near accidents in the past, caused by people crowding to the edge of the city wharf while steamers are docking and leaving port, the face of the dock will be roped off in the future while the steamers are entering or leaving the dock, Chief of Police c. J. Davis said today.
 Anyone forcing through the ropes in violation of this order will be subject to arrest, Chief Davis said.
 The order was issued entirely in the interests of protection to those meeting or seeing steamers off and in an effort to prevent accidents to those who are. inclined to crowd too close to the steamers when lines are being thrown in or taken off, and will be rigidly enforced, Chief Davis declared.
