BARNUM 8 BAILEY
HERE TOMORROW
tached to a dirigible balloon, he slow- galaxy of saddleless equestrian stars
ly ascends over Hu heads of tbe ever seen in one show.
Juggling and bareback riding have
never been linked until the three
Tomorrow will bo the greatest cir-
cus day in the history of Shawnee.
The railroads are preparing to han-
dle an immense influx of visitors.
Barnum & Bailey's circus is in Ard-
more and will arrive in this city early
in the morning, j
The great show travels in eighty-
nine double-length specially built
railroad cars, which, for speed, are
divided Into four trains.
The first section is expected to ar-
rivo soon after midnight. It will
bring the hotel and kitchen equip-
ment. This is the first thing dis-
patched every night to the next stand
bo there may be no delay in getting
breakfast. A corpB of 70 cooks,
chefs, waiters and kitchen helpers
are needed to care for the inner
comforts of the show. Tomorrow's
breakfast will consist of 5000 pan j
cakes, 500 pounds of porlv chops, l."
bushels of potatoes, 150 gallons oi |
coffee, and other foods in like pro
portions.
The second section will bring the
menagerie and the vast new parade
equipment. It is expected by 4 a. m.
in the morning. The other three
sections will follow as closely as
possible. Probably by daylight the
wonderful city of tents with its pop-
ulation of 1280 people, 700 horses
and 1200 wild anmals, will be a liv-
ing and breathing roality. It will
spread out over fourteen acres of
ground.
The street parade will take place
in the inornlug, going through the
principal streets. Seven hundred
horses, the finest that breeding, train
ing and care cau produce, will take
part in the two mile long exhibition.
Five brass bands, 30 elephants, 38
camels and dromedaries, 104 cages
of wild ainmals brought from the
most inaccessible corners of the
world, 60 floats bearing magnificent-
ly costumed performers from six con-
tinents and 82 countries, and half a
hundred of the funniest clowns that
ever wielded a slap stick, will be in
the procession. Platoon after pla-
toon of celebrated equestrians and
equestriennes will, as they pass the
crowds in the streets, give some
faint conception of the delights to be
seen afterward 'ueath the biggest
tent ever pitched anywhere at any
time.
There are two "thrillers" this year
—one of them a uovelty par excel-
lence. Desperado dives head tlrst
from the pinnacle of the big tent to
a slender slab of oak 80 feet below,
and if he is lucky, pluuges safely
into the outstretched arms of twenty
anxiusly waiUng attendants. Other
men have performer dangerous deeds,
but Desperado, a youth of twenty-
two, does his awful feat twice every
day.
Jupiter, the balloon horse, with his
peerless rider, M'ile. Carroll, fur
nisheH the other big thrill. Standing
on h small unprotected platform at-
gaping multitude until finally the big
yellow bag 1b hugging the upper-
most stretch of canvas, when, midst
a startling display of gorgeous pyro-
technics which •- plode tin about iiiin,
he starts to descend, and finally, to
the salute of a din of cheers and ap-
plause, gallops off the platform and
around the amphitheatre, guided by
his daring girl-rider

Bokromas of the great Magyan fam-
ily came across the Atlantic to join
he Barnum & Bailey Show. The
tricks they perform would be dif-
ficult enough if they were down on
solid ground, but when presented
from the bare back of rapidly gal-
loping horses, the audience is forced
to sit back in gaping wonder.
Cliffe Berzac, with Mme. Berzec
visit to this country, does an act on present a laugh-provoking feature on
ings; the Sisters Alexandras, dainty
equilibrists, and the three Marcan-
tonis, champion strong men from
Italy are a few of the ever-changing,
constantly delighting, always surpris-
ing perfromers who go to make the
name Barnum & Bailey more potent
and attractive this year than ever
before. There are thirty othel* acts
just as good or better.
Altogether there are 18 great tra-
peze acts. Condona, a 16-year-old
Mexican youth, does a heel and toe
trapeze act which has never been
approached. The six Neapolitans
over Ring No. 1 present an act beau-
tiful in its grace and bird-like evolu-
tions The troupe La Mar fly like
winged bats from trapeze to trapeze
and from one pair of outstretched
; hands to another. Over the ceitre
| ring in the final aerial display the
imperial Viennese troup of aerial
artists completely tops anything of
the kind shown to the circus. This
troupe is the largest of its kind.
The menagerie, besides 42 ele-
phants, 38 camels and dromedaries,
two herds of zebras, 18 cages of
lions, eleven of Ugers, and a wonder-
i ful array of l'amas, alpacas, hippo-
potami and rhinoceros, contains 104

undertaken the treatment.
Since the Introduction of Colonel
Frank A. Dillingham's positive cure
for rheumatism, "Plant Juice," in this
cages of the rarest and wildest ani-, county, the sales of this remedy have
mals.
Barnum & Bailey, through their
hunters and agents, are constantly
receiving new • specimens of queer
beasts, the cost of which has already
reached a figure In excess of $1,250,-
000.
Some idea of the enormity of this
great circus may be had from the
fact that It represents a cash in-
vestment of $3,500,000; that there
are 1200 people, 700 horses and 28
tents with It; that the daily expense
averages $6500; and that it is now
not only bigger than ever before,
but it is twice the sire of any other
circus that over toured this or afiy
other country.
