J» IK THE GREAT SHOW COMING Birnuo & Bailey's Circus to Exhibit Here Soon Most ol the wonJers to bo exhibited in B%rnum A Itiilev's Show when it comes here on Saturday Out. 3J wiil be new and 1 '.he same as shown in Madison Square Gar j den Xew York, this spring, comprised in ! circus, menagerie, hippodrome jand the i Ethnic Entertainment culled Oriental In j dia. The whole organization is conducted with a view to i . be-: and moat that money and energy can bring to gether. The horses are sleek, finely kept and strong, the ladie "are nearly all young and pietty, the animais are splendid speci mens ot the'" respective classes, and lr'l arrangements are made for the occommo dations and comfort of visitors. Among the more notable specimens ol : animals in the donble menageries are 24 elephants, a giraffe, a whole flock of giant ostriches, an addis, eland, water bok, wart hog, a nylghau, Malay tap'r of the kind known as the saddle-bacft, several gu-bs, harnossed antelopes, hairless h >rse, | giant and pigmy creatures, 50 cages of wild beasts, a giant gorilla—Johanna, Chicko's widow—the fame of which has extended ovor a!' tt3 world, and withont doubt th« greatest living attraction ever seen with an exhibition. The circus exhibition has three rings aud three stages, and racing track, and the number of performers is largely in ex cess of those ever seen before. Many of them are European celebrities, and their acts are novel and original. The most grace/a' and difficult ofa'l the equestrian acts are performed by young and handsome women, and only champions appear in all of the 100 circus acts. The ring exhibition of the trained ani mals and el9phants is a marvelous one. One herd contains a dozen huge beasts, one of which, only a few inches less in height than Jumbo. Everything in and about the Barnuin & Bailt-y Show is on a hcale of magnitude which implies a wonderfu 1 amount of ex ecutive ability and thorough discipline to manage successfully.
