Barnum and Bailey Great Show to Exhibit at Williamsport Thursday, June 10. Never since the beginning of time has an amusement enterprise so tre mendons in size been organized as this one. Its magnitude is almost beyond belief. All America, togeth er with every foreign country, has been scoured from end to end by agents of this big show in search of novelties and the result is a perform ance brim full of sensational acts new to the circus world. In the big Barnum and Bailey show are nearly 400 arenic stars, most of whom are seen now for the first time. A new sensation will be seen at every per formance in "Jupiter, the balloon horse." This remarkable animal with its fearless rider ascends to the dome of the circus tent in a balloon and decends to the ground in a shower of fireworks- Nearly 1000 animal wonders are to be found in the big 108 cage menagerie. 8 herds of elephants, including one herd that actually plays upon musical instru ments in time and tune. A group of giant giratt'es, monster trained hippopotamus, ouly living by-horn rhinocerous and hundreds of other strange beasts. Barnum and Bai ley's big, new, free street parade is the most gorgeous processional display ever attempted in the his tory ot circus business. Its tremen dous size and wonderful length can only be believed in themtual seeing. It is natural to expect this big tir cus to lead all others in quality and quantity of its street spectacle as in other departments of the big show, yet never in its splendid his tory of nearly a half a century has it displayed such extravagance as is shown this year.

Two Pavilions and Sixty Bath,; Hovses to Be Erected. A directors' meeting of the Lake Mokoraa Company was held at La porte Tuesday and Wednesday, attended by the following named officers: President, Chas. J. Pen nock; Secretary, Edward S. Phil lips; Thomas Rakestraw, J. B. Swayne, C. E. Cox, F. W. Mtsylert, W. C. Mason. Considerable time was spent in going over the entire property making close inspection aud decid ing on improvements and the methods to be emplojed in execut ing the work. It was decided to immediately commence the erection of two new pavilions. One to be located on the picnic grounds to be used for refreshment accommodation, the >ize of which will he 40x40 and constructed along modern plans, combinding both attractiveness and convenience. This stand will be conducted by Mr. F. H. Farrell who has secured the concession to supply the hungry and thirsty throngs who visit these grounds, which gives assurance that this important feature will be properly handled. This pavilion will be open continuously throughout the entire season. The other pavilion, 36x36, will be erected along the lake beach in which offices will be provided and also a confectionery stand. Sixty bath houses will be erected and t hree dozen row boats added to the present large equipment. The grounds fro u lake front, along bathing beach, back to the picnic grounds will be graded and set with shrubbery and shade giv ing trees, affording in time a cool, delightful shade over the entire grounds used exclusively for ex cursion purposes. The upper portion of lake will be entirely cleared of logs and stumps which have heretofore pre vented the use of the prettiest part of the lake for rowing. Here the thrifty growth of wood-lands meet the water edge with its inviting shade extending far out from shore, yielding assent to give charm and recreation to those seeking such rowing delights. Provision has been made to sup ply the picnic grounds with various amusements such as a merry-go round, shooting gallery, bowling, mechanical swings, etc., and a full line of amusement devices for the children. Mr. S. D. Townsend, Gen. Mgr. of the W. & X. B. spent Wednes day with the directors talking over the various questions of transpor tation and co-operative plans essen tial to rapid and permanent devel opment. The sand house and coal house along the railroad track ad jacent to the excursion grounds will be removed and along this portion of the track betweeu the rails plank will be laid and on either side filled with trap rock, giving this part of the grouuds an attrac tive appearance to hasinonize with the whole. Mr. W. R. Mason rep resents the W. & N. B. this season as summer excursion agent. Control of the Mountain House, the Lake View Cottage have been secured by the Company, and in connection with the Mokoma Cot tage will be opend under one man agement for the entertainment of summer guests. The end of the approaching season is sure to reveal marked advancement aud prove beyond any doubt the opening of a new era for Laporte. COURT NOTES. W. W.
