/ THE BIG DAY NEAR Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Clrcua Sjon 1 To Be In Our Midst p Only one more day awaits the ap- • pearance of the Carl Hagenbeck-Wal-lace Cfrcus in Pecatur. The date is • Tuesday. September 14, and the small I toys as usual are at lever heat In anticapation of what they will see and • liear on circus day, acknowleged to be better than Christmas and the Font I;, of July combined. i Nothing seems to dim the popularity . of the circus, especially those of the larger type. A new crop of children appear each year. They must see the dear good old clown and smell the saw'dust. But the blare of the band the rumble of heavy red wagons and the roar of the lions seem to make the grown-ups. kids again on circus day. Os course they generally say they are going to “carry the children to see the animals.” But deep down in their hearts they know they would not miss the big show if there was not a small boy In a thousand miles on ' circus day. Three trains are necessary to transport the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Citrus. The first is known as the “flying squadron" and leaves the exhibition city daily at 10 p. m. in order to arrive during the early morning hours. Aboarj is carried the commissary department and canvas hotel, for breakfast must be ready at 7a. m. The second circus special carries the famous Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace menage.rie and trained wild animals, together with tents, seats, paraphernalia and equipment not arried on the first train. The third and final section made uu almost entirely of Pullman sleepers and bearing the performers, officials end employees not carried on the two nreceedtng traine. An idea of the magnitude of Ihe Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus may be obtained frm the immense street pagaent to be seen on the down-town streets at 10 o’clock proceeding the first performance. There will be upwards of three miles of scintillating finery. More than 1.000 men. women and horses will be seen in the great display. Eighteen different nationalities will be represented and the characteristic music of the world will be played upon brass instruments, tom toms, drums fifes and cymbals. Eight bands will yield circus melody, augmented by two of the largest calliopes ever constructed. Many of the

dens contaiuing the Carl Habenbtckwild animals will be open for publi • ’ display. There will be more than hull' a hundred elaborately carved and de- . corn ted tableau wagons and allegorical floats. Three herds of ponderous elephahs will make up the rear of the I>ageant. The performances will begin 1 at 2 and 8 p. m.. Doors to the Carl Hagenbeck zoo will be opened an hour 1 earlier. ■ b.
