NOVELTIES FILL THE BIG CIRCUS Ten thousand wonders will be disclosed In La Crosse on Friday, June 23, by the Barnum and Bailey greatest Show on Earth. Never before has such a novel and varied array of imported acts been seen beneath a circus tent. There are 110 big acts given by 400 artists. In the menagerie, among many other wonders, is to be found the only giraffe ever born in America.

It is one year old and a perfect specimen. Only one other giraffe was ever born in captivity. This happened in London over fifty years ago. The baby lived but a few hours. Among the ring acts the performance of Charlie the First, a chimpanzee, is the most remarkable.

This strange creature is the greatest bicycle rider and acrobat in the world. All he knows he has taught himself. He holds the attention of the audience for half an hour. Jupiter, the balloon horse. Is another famous animal.

He rides to the dome of the tent on a platform suspended from an immense gas bag and descends in a shower of fireworks which he sets off himself. Among other traingd animals are Winston's riding seals, a brass band of elephants, Berzacs mule and poney circus and John Ducanders bell-ringing horses. More thrills are generated when a member of the Siegrist-Silbon family of aerialists blindfolds his eyes and leaps across the entire width of the dome from a swinging trapeze, turns a double somersault in the air and grabs the wrists of a comrade who is hanging head down from a revolving swivel. Other surprises on the bill are Introduced by the Fonelli family of Italian acrobats, the Les Deko and Les Silvas families of equilibrists, the Georgetty family of French gymnasts, the Konyot family of riders, the Dollar troupe of acrobats and Codono, the greatest high-wire artist in the world. Important additions to the list are the Nettie Carrol trio of wire dancers, the Davenport family of riders, and the La Mar family of trapeze artists.

The comedy of the show is In the bands of fifty of the world's best clowns. The forenoon parade is the best ever presented by this splendid show. It is three miles in length and an almost endless chain of surprises. It leaves the show grounds at 10 oclock in the morning.
