against the less fortunate ones of
our citizens."

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

In all of us, when the stirring lilts of
brass and reed boomed from the six

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

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.
