It is a show In which the comedv
element cuts no small figure. Clowns
have been gathered from all qnarters
of the globe and the result is a well
diversified array of droll stunts abso
lutely new and funnier than ever. Pub
lic events are travestied, prominent
men are Impersonated In grotesque
caricature, short plays and screaming
pantomimes are enacted and from be
ginning to end the great arena rings
with laughter.
The Rarnum and Bailey show has al
ways enjoyed the reputation of having'
the world s best clowns on its list of
performers and of being the originators
of all great clown stunts. This is more
than, ever the case this year. There is
a laugh. a minurucked away between
exploits of daring and feats of skill,
the great army of jesters filling every

of nonsense that the best of men relish
and are the better for having laughed at
