Pink Lemonade, Mammoth Pachyderms and Girls in Pink Tights Seem to Be the Chief Attraction Parade Was Blaze of Color Kids Are Delighted. LADIES GIVEN FLOWERS The lady members of the Al G. Barnes circus troupe were greatly pleased today when dur- Ing the line of march -followed by the parade they found sever- al Boy Scouts armed with has- kets rilled with flowers.- Each lady In the parade was given a amallboquet and tbey express- w ed great appreciation of the gifts. Um-pahs of red coated bands; roars of hundreds of Jungle beast; rumblings of tableaux wagons, cages and dens; shrilling of oriental reeds, and the hoarae chanting of steel lunged calliopes these are the sounds that contribute today- to the gala circus holiday of the season, for It's the Al G. Barnes circus trains that ateamed into the city with the dawn; It's the Al G. Barnes tents that loom against the skyline at Roseburg, and It a the Al G. Barnes lengthy open den stret pageant, re splendent in new trappings, that de lighted thousands In downtown strets shortly before noon. Yes, It was the Al G. Barnes wild animal circus, with Tusko, largest elenhant In the world. "Alive In iuu- gielaod," the stupendous lyrlcaf ex-J travagansa, ana xzu wua animsi ac tors that vivified the spirit of youth In all of us, when the stirring lilts of brass and reed boomed from the six bandwagons; when the clatter of hundreds of hoofs, the Jungle of studded harness, the glhes of clowns, the trumpeting of elephants and the saueallng of sebra teams rattled against our ear drums as we gaxed and gaxed. Out at the show grounds, the great tents resounded with the hoop-la of the big show this afternoon with three - steel arenas, two rings, two staves and the hippodrome track filled with every Imaginable display of educated wild snd domestic ani mals, to say nothing of many new offerings almost Inconceivable, even to those of us who know the Al o. names show of old. The show Is much bigger, smarter, more thrill ing, more amusing, with Its elements of barbaric pageantry and operatjc surprises developed with consum mate skill. The new big top one pi Wfjil .' . laef aaa i i ..v i i, . ijreeei t Al O. nnrnea, the World's Greatest Wild Animal i:tlurlor, Atu Tusko, the Largest Elephant In Captivity, Value4 at lOO.IXX). ALL OF IS DEPICTED BARNES CIRCUS of Ihe largest ever built was com pletely filled Ola afternoon, and, without a doubt.- Its great chair . grandstand, reserves and bluea will be Jammed at 8 p. m., when the beau- -tlful fairyland fantasy, "Alice In Jun- , gleland," opens the night perform snee. Brand spanking new from the lady , with the American flag on a beauti ful cream colored steed to the steam calliope bringing up the rear of the procession, the parade was perhaps the best and most spectacular ever traversing the streets of the city. It can be said of Al G. Barnes that he Is not a bit "stingy" In showing off his great exhibition of wild ani mals. There were more open cages in the parade than any show that, has ever visited this city. The anl mals were beauties, well fed , and sleek. The big Nubian Hons were the feature attraction, but the won- . derfully marked spotted leopards di vided honors with them tor beauty. There was much music for the hundreds along tbe route of the pro cession, not less than six bands en tertaining the music lovers. Among them was a "kilty bagpipe" baud and , a real "Zulu" organliatlon. The clown band attracted considerable at tentlon. i ' The horses were In the pink 'of condition. Never hits a circus In this ' dty shown a finer selection of hn,ui The PhAtlanii nonv tandem and the two Iandems ot xebre, were tin ntrKuuu " -:. ww. - -- . . The elephants, the camels, the dromedaries, the latter with their big humps like sand dunes, were a, groat attraction as they lumbered along the street. The spectators ex pected every minute to see the riders take a nose dive to the street, but they didn't. Another feature of the parade waa the way it was dressed. One ex7 pects to see all the brilliant colors imaginable in a circus parade, but this year Al Barnes has the "rain-, how" looking like a drab streak. Ev ery costume wns new and the mater-' ials used In their making, including the tinsel, must have run Into thous ands of dollars. The Al G. Barnes' circus, on the outside, is a wondefrul thing. If the acts under the big "round top" compare with the showing on the outside, then it can be said ot It that it Is one show that is worth the mon- , ey and the price of a red lemonado and a bag of peanuts thrown In.
