America. With the stalwart P. T.
Barnum as its originator and its
wonderful achievements perpetuated
by James A. Bailey, tho management
has ever maintained a standard ap
proached by no other show. Barnum
was tho pioneer of nil great arena
events. In his day his genius for big
things wns fur in advauco even of
tho present ago. He perfected tho
system which makes tho circus of
now a possibility.
This is tho only circus whose tours
cover tho entire world. Thoro is not
a land so remote, but (he manage
ment has an agent there. Thoro is
not a city of any size in any coun
try but this show at some time during
its oo years existence has spread its
14 acres of tents there. With the
advantage of this foroign prestige,
the entire world has become its
storehouse. Nothing is out of its
reach.
This year's program is ono of un
usual interest even for this circus. It
embraces all the European talent of
tho Inst winter season. Tho menng
erio has been increased and the now
narndo is nn exposition of the world'.-?

long nnd is divided into five sections.
The regular performance is intro
duced this season by n speetnele more
gorgeous nnd interesting than those
of tho past. Tho long program ends
with a hair-raising act by a mad
Frenchman, known professionally in
Desperado. Ho leaps from the dome
of tho tent to the ground, lighting
upon his unprotected chest. No
thriller of tho past can be likened to
this rash spectacle. In ndditiou there
is Jupiter, a magnificent white horse,
which rides in n balloon and shoots
off rockots nnd othor firoworks. A
young woman sits upon his linok dur
