THIS is the day when the small boy gets his glimpse of tho real ei.le of jungle life and when his ideas of elephants and other wild creatures become materialized through actual vision, for the circus has come to town. The customary street parade this morning, with its carman of gilt adorned wagons, open cages of wild beasts, elephants, prancing horses. mounted knights and fair women and I a liberal allotment of clowns in fan tastic axtire, attracted hundreds the strectta The parade was a nau-tiewlarlr good) una. en i or mis aay or elaborate circus aispiays. -mere was a chariot for every nation, with the national flags floating and folks dressed up like the natives of each country, sometimes ten horses drawing it. Rus sia had a bevy of "Russian" women with fur caps and coats, carrying white linen parasols. Surmounting Egypt was Cleeopatra. The parade was led by a phalanx of blonds on cream horse;, and interspersed along the huge caravan were blonds and brunets, with a few titians by way ot variety, escorted by cavaliers. The Animals Attrart. There was a riot of ecstacv it hen a dozen huge cages, with sides oft. rolled by. First came the leopards, then wolves and tigers, and then somebody down the line shouted: "Lions!" There were panthers and more leopards and another family of lions, and then came the elephants. Each had a red coated and white hatted keeper on his head with a long sharp hook. There were 24 of them, and they each hung on to the tail of the one in front of them with their trunks. There was one big fel low with iron chains on his feet hook ing him to those in front and behind. Four Big Trains. The circus is transported this year on four trains, comprising 89 cars, which, when stretched out. are over a mile in length. The big top, the largest the Ringlings have ever used is especially constructed, not only to accommoasie tne circus witn Its three rings, stages and hippodrome track, but also arranged for the massive spectacle.
