There will be no street parade
this "morning, in fact none has
been given by this circus in five
years, it ; having reached a size
where it was no longer practicable.
The entire morning, along with
every ounce of horse and man
power, will be required to erect
the cireus encampment of 30 tents
and make all ready for the per
formances. V Largest of the tents
is the main tent seating 15,000
people. Twelve private dressing
"tops" are raised for as many In
dividual stars of the circus." Even
the clowns, more numerous ; than
