MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY. AUG UST.1 2, 1 9.10. MR DM 8 BAILEY ARE COMING Greatest Sliow on Earth to Bo In Mcdford on August Twenty-nine, for One Performance Only In the Morning. Ono performance only, at 10 n. in., Monday, August 29. Final arrangements have just been completed for the visit to this city of tho Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, The dato is Monday, August 29, ono performance only, nt 10 n. m. It will bo tho same in every particular as that presented in Madi son Square Garden, Now York City, whero this circus opened its season last March. Added glory attaches to this show because of its new equipment, which cost the management $3,500,000. Its new parade is described as a marvel of pageantry. Its enlarged menag erie is tho center of interest, and the company of 400 world-famous art ists presenting tho program have brought 100 surprises from Europe. This circus is over 50 years old. It was founded by P. T. Barnum, the father of modern advertising and big circus ideas. Barnum was born 100 years ago. He was over a century ahead of his time. Wero he alive to day he would still be looked up to as the greatest amusement manager in the world. It was his brilliant mind that mado the modem circus pos sible. He found the circus a disor ganized institution, operated without system, intelligence and not a great deal of integrity. He lifted it up into the fine arts. lie established it on tho same systematic standards that make railroads a success. When he died his only successors were Jns. A. Bailey and his immediate staff of associates, then young men, who were able to perpetuate his wonder ful policy because of long schooling under him. Bailey has been described as the greatest showman of his day. He grew to be another Barnum. Under his management the world's greatest circus became even greater. No other circus in tho world over dared to at tempt the gigantic projects that this genius carried through to success. He took the great show to Europe and Asia. He visited every city of prominence in the old world. Like a rolling ball of snow, it gathered and grew. On its return to Anienen it was a world's fair of ten thousand wonders. Today it has reached al point of size that taxes the railroads to their utmost. It covers 14 acres of ground. The organization of this year num bers 1280 people, 700 horses, 40 ele phants, 30 camels and 1200 wild and semi-domestic animals. It travels on a train exactly G123 feet in length. This is over ono mile. The train has to be handled in five sec tions. Tho circus performance is in troduced by a new and costly spec tacle. The 108 acts that follow be gin a new era in circus ideas. All is novelty. Desperado, a rash French man, works on the emotions of spec tators by leaping from the dome of the tent and landing on his bare chest on the ground. Jupiter, a mag nificent white horse, heightens the excitement by riding to the dome in a . balloon and then shooting off a bat tery of rockets and other fireworks. Ho takes a beautiful girl with him on his perilous trip. Tho latest sensation is the act of tho Adonis brothers, who balance on tho cxtreioo point of a swaying ship's mast. Amazement is still increased when Charlie, tho First, a chimpanzee, walks to one of the stages and there presents a bicycle and juggling n"l surpassing in skill the efforts of the best human performer that ever liv ed. Mo're thrills arc given to tho audienco by tho daring leaps and doublo somersaults of the Sicgrist Sillion aerialists, tho Konyot family of acrobatic equestrians, the high wiro dancing of Victoria Codoua and feats of the La Faille company of strongest men in tho world. In the menagerie is tho only baby giraffo born in Americn. It would take col umns to tell tho rest.
