CIRCUS PARADE PLEASES EVERYBODY Plentiful Bands, Hordes of Clowns, 200 Horses and Many Wild Animals Exhibited. One of the old time circus parades, the kind that has not visited Monett in years, was seen here today. It was followed this afternoon by al matinee performance similar, in many respects, to the old fashioned kindthe sort everybody saw when young; it had, however, so much of the new and novel about it that it was "different" from anything that was ever exhibited in this section of the country The Hagenbeck-Wallace parade pleased everybody, if comments heard on all sides may be accepted as an indication.

And when, immediately after the grand entry under the big tent this afternoon, a vast audience began cheering, it was apparent that the same crowds were being afforded as much entertainment as by the street parade. Horses formed a prominent feature of the pageant. They were beauties' and their bright comparisons and trappings set them off to good advantage. The weather was favorable and the sunlight danced off the brightly painted wagons, floats and the costumes, enhancing the whole. The "Noble Six Hundred," the Hagenbeck- Wallace collection of trained horses, came in for a great share of admiration and were plauded at several points along the line of march.

Bands were plentiful. They played real music, too, and were liberal with it. Clowns enlivened the line and they had a clean brand of humor. Not all occupants of the menagerie are taken out for street exhibition, but enough were in line today to convey, some idea of what the big zoo contains. Every animal cage was open, affording the public an excellent view of the beasts.

In the parade were: elephants, lions, tigers, camels, pumas, cougars llamas, aoudads, the gnu, the yak, onagas, leopards, Asiatic spotted deer, albino deer, black, cinnamon, grizzly, Russian and polar bears, the clown hippopotamus, monkeys, hyenas and many more. Most of these animals have a "turn" under the big tent this afternoon and tonight, where they will be seen in demonstration of what can be accomplished by training. From the time the small clown on a tiny bicycle came along, until the big calliope with its deafening tones had passed, the parade was a long line of color and music. It was the sort of parade that attracts its thousands of the performance which it represents. Monett proved no exception to the general rule, and thousare availing themselves the opportunity to see a program of 255 acts, almost equally divided among human performers and wild animals.

The lion, tiger, puma, leopard, elephant and bear acts are among some of the "thrillers" on the bill. Added to these are the acts by 300 men and woman performers, which include trapeze and horizontal bar acts, wire walking, tumbling, acrobatics and bareback riding. There are also more than a score of specialties such as are seen in vaudeville in the larger cities. This afternoon's show began at 2 o'clock. That of tonight will begin at 8 o'clock.

Doors will be opened at 7 o'clock, in order that all may have time in which to visit the menagerie. This lies between the main entrance and the big tent and is free to all holders of circus tickets. Many persons object to mingling with the large crowds that are always to be found about circus wagons For their convenience a downtown office is being maintained at the Monett drug store, where tickets are being sold at prices the same as are charged at the showgrounds. AMERICAN LEGION TO HAVE CLUB ROOM The members of the local American Legion Post have leased the large room just back of Dr. Miller's office rooms in the National Bank building, for use as a club room.
