NOTED CIRCUS RIDER WILL BE HERE SOON

Miss Julian to Appear Here W3th the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Show Saturday, August 5.

In all the circus world there is no bareback rider better known than Miss Dallie Julian. She is not only the highest paid circus rider in the world, but she is the only woman who has successfully performed a somersault on the broad, rosined haunch, of a galloping horse. Single, forward and backward somersaults are Miss Julian’s specialty, and she does these just to “limber up,” as she expresses it. 'Miss Julian is the principal bareback rider with the Carl HagenbeckWallace Circus, which comes to Rensselaer Saturday, Aug. sth, for performance at 2 an'd 8 p. m., and a parade at 10 o'clock. When the big show is over and DalJulian emerges from • her private dressing tent one would pick her for a debutante or society girl. She is slim of build and is just past her 20th birthday, and is unmarried. Her brother Fred Julian, travels with the show and is a member of the executive stiff.

Miss Julian is a graduate of Bryn Mawr College. In school she was remarkably fond of athletics. One summer her father, who is a banker at Fall River, Mass., spent a week with the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, along with him being his daughter, Dallie. The daughter had always yearned for life under the canvas, and the father believed that a week of roughing it would remove all traces for a desire to follow the circus. The week ..with the show saw the little college girl blossom into a fullfledged jgircus star. Under the guidance of Bud Gorman, the famous circus equestrian,, director, Miss Julian developed into a remarkable rider. She has duplicated every feat performed by a male rider, and has left her sister riders far in the background.
