When the Great Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers’ circus comes to
Waycross on Friday October 20, peo
ple -Will bo given an opportunity of
seeing the greatest trained animal
features ever introduced by any cir
cus In America.
In one of thoBe numbers the three
rings are occupied at one time by fif
teen beat trained elephants In the
world.. The big beasts have learned
to play tunes that are not at all sim
ple on sets of Swiss bells. At one
time they form themselves tnto three
mighty pryamlds. The uppermost
elephant la twenty feet from the
round. During this formation flftcoa
trained dogi enter the ring. Each
perches Itself on the uplifted trunk
qf an elepbanL It Is a novel and pret
ty sight.
Prof. Taylor’* company of bicycle-
riding and wlro-walklng monkeya la
another extraordinary feature. These
unlma/s «yo 'trained with amazing
skill and they are more adept In
their various feats than any of the
human performers.
Captain Webb’s two troupes of
trained reals and aea lions are an
other wonderful aoblevemenL These ,
remarkable animals,, by some myster
ious system of teaching, have master
ed all the arte known to the - heat el
human circus performers. They are
better balancers, acrobats, equili
brists and Jugglers than any man who
ever lived. They toss ball* of all
sizes Into the air and catches them on
their nose; They Juggle lire brands.
They ride horses. They walk tight
wires. They play on string Instru
ments. They operate teeter boards,
ride on velocipedes And skip the rope.
In respect to the msny other art*
that go to make a great circus per
formance, this show takas first place,
having on Its ll«t of star* tho world's
host talent. There are riders; acro
bats, clowns, aerlallst* and tumblers
from every country on tho face ot
the earth. Each artist has his own
Individual characteristic to distin
