Show on Earth,
Every year for many past, the
press and public have be°n wildly
enthusiastic over the extent aud
magnificence of the Barnum &
Bailey Greatest Show on earth,
which win be seen here exactly as
it was in New York.
But what will be said of it this
year, superior as this season’s
show is to all previous ones? In
deed the big show has been vastly
improved and enlarged in all de
partments to ». most wonderful ex
tent.
Now in thecircua department
i alone one hundred acts are given
atjevery performance, afternoon
and evening by as many daring
champion athletes,
gymnasts jugglers and acrobats.
There are twenty actß in which
perfectly trained animals are seen
with twenty comical clowns. Sev
eral of the -latter were acknowl -
edged to be the funniest fellows in
Europe before Barnum & Baily
engaged them.
After the acts in the three cir
cus rings and on the two elevated
stages numerous hippodrome races
.take place. And after these the re
markable exhibition of trained an
.imalsin the specially constiucted
iron-barred arena, in which lions
land lambs tigers and goats bears
and sheep ponies and elephants
and other wild and domestic beasts
tkke part.
Then.there is Chiko and his
bride Johanna, the giant gorillas
only two of the world at present in
capivity. The grand Ethnological
Congress ofjsavage and idolatrous
human beings,Jwith representatives
from nearly all the savage and
. heathern countries in the world,
i an equestrian exhibition by wild
. and fierce Cossacks and hundreds
, of others.
. Besides the most marvelous feats
in mid-air the whole entertainment,
, is of such a grand character as to
I amaze eyeryone. A Chidren circus,
too, especially provided for the
‘ delection of the little folks. The
new million dollar free street pa
rade will take place on the morn
ing oT the show's arrival, and is
said to be the finest of its kind
' on earth. It will all be here’ on
October IGth.
1 FAIR WARNING.

any account made iu my name by
anyone outside of my immediate
’ family.
