season had a wonderful engagement in Madison Square Garden in March attracting thousands of visitors to New' York where the "Greatest Showon Earth” was pronounced by press and public as “the last word to be. written in circuses.” Barnum & Bailey will exhibit at Fort Wayne. Saturday July 18. Everything is new but the name. America’s youth demands with each recurring spring and summer the circus’ visitation and it demands that it lie none other than Barnum & Bailey's. The youth of this country is not to be denied and when the circus reaches’ his native heath he never lets up until his parents have pledged their word that he can go to the circus. Then his cup of happiness is complete. The name Barnu.-n & Bailey is a household phrase and the flashing of those names on the billboards and in the new-spaper means to the community more than mere words can explain to countless numbers. A wonderfully brilliant new feature this year is "The Wizard Prince of Arabia,” a romantic pageantric spectacle. Its scenes are from the haunts of the Bedouins to mysterious India, where Prince Abdallah, in the test of stern competition wins the heart and hand of a Kin's fair and favorite daughter. Tiiir colossal innovation is offered at the opening of the show thereby doing away with the old stereotyped “grand entree.” More than one thousand people are enlisted in the presentation. The incidental ballet numbers 300 dancing girls. The costumes and the scenic and property investure are on a scale of bewildering magnitude and magnificence. The stage is one of the largest ever constructed. Forty elephants and hundreds of horsfcs and camels are utilised. An innovationary feature of the pageant is a march of 350 persons, all playing nu|-dcal instruments, around the quarter-mile hippodrome course.

This spectacle is followed by a three hour show In the arena by 350 internationally celebrated acrobats, gymnasts, aerialists, equestrian’s and hippodrome specialists, and fifty funny clowns, who are right up to the minute. Then there is the mamoth mdnagerie containing 110 dens *~ the rarest and costliest animals and hundreds of elephants and camels.
