From the clowns with their jo vial countenances to the oug string of elephants in the rear who moved along majestically under their own steam, the cavah'ado was a joy and delight. While tne spotted Uricntal Luimtiah. which is studiously avoided on dark nights in itB native zooland, together with tho ' 'blood-swonting Behemoth of Holy Writ , were concealed in closed cages for tne Inter edification of those, who attend the circus, ninny of tho cages were thrown open.

One future scientist, about 10 years old, never left a knot 5iole in the wagon labelled "largest liv ing hippopotamus on earth" until the Bides were taken away and Salome smiled a.t him from a shell-pink mouth a yard across. Then Salome yawned. The boy gaped down the huge pink throat as long as it was visible. Then lie said, "Gee, and some folks say he didn't swallow Jonah." Long before the sun streaked up in the heavens this morning the snaky cirts trains, with their canvas covers protecting the animal cages and par ade chariots, wound into the railroad yards and started the work of unloading a portable city under canvas. Out on the grounds at Broadway near Mudi oon the boss canvasman awaited the loads of canvas, ropes, poles and para phernalia which he quickly metamor phosed into the circus encampment with its twenty tents with gaily fluttering flags and pennants at the mastheads of the long spars required to uphold the acres of canvas. Thousands of persons, young and old, big and little, sedate and merry, rich ing, obstructed the traffic and siile and poor, thronged the streets tAUT walks and deserted their offices and morning and proved again, if proof , places of business. It was a great pa were necessary, the alluring charm the radc in all its details and it was seen circus holds for tile young in hcurt. 1 by everybody in Salem and environs The colorful pageant, some two miles who had eyes to see and legs to walk, in length, was, as the circus people Hundreds came to the city from out said it would be, a more effective ban-: side, while tho throngs of children who isher of melancholia than a good liver , filled the streets sccnicd to come from pill.

Hulem might have 'their insulting bland stare; the alert i leopard, the genial gnu, tho rabid rhi ! noceros, the naughty hippopotamus, the sacred ox, the striped zelna or "con vict horse," as one wag described thein ' all were there. There were chariots ; n nd tableaux wagons galore, mid mauv 'of the pretty girls who appear in the pageant of the ".Thousand and One Mights, rede thoroughbred horses at tended by gallant cavaliers. There were a half dozen bands and the inevitable calliojlfr. Old P. T. B. meant well enough nnd did well enogh in Ins ancient day, but if he had seen this pngeant today giv en by the circus which bears his name he would have turned green with envy. A performance is being given this afternoon and this thousand-sided mir acle of tho amusement worldus enter taining an audience limited only by the capacity of the tent. A cross-eyed man will have tile time of his life nt this circus. Three rings, four stages and the truck .are in constant action. The tent is 680 feet long and pulsates with performers, h n man and animal. One must indeed be Argtiscyed to see even a portion of the feast of good things provided by the circus menu of this year. The show starts off with a gorgeoiiB pageant descriptive of Persia, which is a feast of richness and color and not to be described by a mere newspaper man without tearing the dic tionary into siireds. Over 1,000 people take part and the whole Thing is n stupendous revelation of the resources of this giant . amusement institution. Thon conic the circus features, all of unquestioned excellence, many of the acts being seen for the first time. To individualize would bo unfair. As well try to prove tho beauty of an elin tree by naming every leaf. Sufficient to say that each and every act and nrtist is of superlative merit and worthy of its niche in the Ilarnum and Bailey pro gram. The r.oo is largo and well main tained and the whole enterprise worthy of tne best traditions of this famous circus. I The big tent is located in North Sa lem, wost of the Fair Grounds road near South street. Another perform ance will bo given this evening in all its entirety at 8 o'clock. WM.
