MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY. AUG UST.1 2, 1 9.10.
MR DM 8 BAILEY
ARE COMING
Greatest Sliow on Earth to Bo In
Mcdford on August Twenty-nine,
for One Performance Only In the
Morning.
Ono performance only, at 10 n. in.,
Monday, August 29.
Final arrangements have just been
completed for the visit to this city
of tho Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth, The dato is Monday,
August 29, ono performance only, nt
10 n. m. It will bo tho same in every
particular as that presented in Madi
son Square Garden, Now York City,
whero this circus opened its season
last March.
Added glory attaches to this show
because of its new equipment, which
cost the management $3,500,000. Its
new parade is described as a marvel
of pageantry. Its enlarged menag
erie is tho center of interest, and the
company of 400 world-famous art
ists presenting tho program have
brought 100 surprises from Europe.
This circus is over 50 years old. It
was founded by P. T. Barnum, the
father of modern advertising and big
circus ideas. Barnum was born 100
years ago. He was over a century
ahead of his time. Wero he alive to
day he would still be looked up to as
the greatest amusement manager in
the world. It was his brilliant mind
that mado the modem circus pos
sible. He found the circus a disor
ganized institution, operated without
system, intelligence and not a great
deal of integrity. He lifted it up
into the fine arts. lie established it
on tho same systematic standards
that make railroads a success. When
he died his only successors were Jns.
A. Bailey and his immediate staff of
associates, then young men, who
were able to perpetuate his wonder
ful policy because of long schooling
under him.
Bailey has been described as the
greatest showman of his day. He
grew to be another Barnum. Under
his management the world's greatest
circus became even greater. No other
circus in tho world over dared to at
tempt the gigantic projects that this
genius carried through to success.
He took the great show to Europe
and Asia. He visited every city of
prominence in the old world. Like a
rolling ball of snow, it gathered and
grew. On its return to Anienen it
was a world's fair of ten thousand
wonders. Today it has reached al
point of size that taxes the railroads
to their utmost. It covers 14 acres
of ground.
The organization of this year num
bers 1280 people, 700 horses, 40 ele
phants, 30 camels and 1200 wild and
semi-domestic animals. It travels
on a train exactly G123 feet in
length. This is over ono mile. The
train has to be handled in five sec
tions. Tho circus performance is in
troduced by a new and costly spec
tacle. The 108 acts that follow be
gin a new era in circus ideas. All is
novelty. Desperado, a rash French
man, works on the emotions of spec
tators by leaping from the dome of
the tent and landing on his bare
chest on the ground. Jupiter, a mag
nificent white horse, heightens the
excitement by riding to the dome in a
. balloon and then shooting off a bat
tery of rockets and other fireworks.
Ho takes a beautiful girl with him on
his perilous trip.
Tho latest sensation is the act of
tho Adonis brothers, who balance on
tho cxtreioo point of a swaying ship's
mast.
Amazement is still increased when
Charlie, tho First, a chimpanzee,
walks to one of the stages and there
presents a bicycle and juggling n"l
surpassing in skill the efforts of the
best human performer that ever liv
ed. Mo're thrills arc given to tho
audienco by tho daring leaps and
doublo somersaults of the Sicgrist
Sillion aerialists, tho Konyot family
of acrobatic equestrians, the high
wiro dancing of Victoria Codoua and
feats of the La Faille company of
strongest men in tho world. In the
menagerie is tho only baby giraffo
born in Americn. It would take col
umns to tell tho rest.
