The great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brother's combined shows will arrive in the city early tomorrow morning, coming direct from Enid where performances were given today. The enormous new tents will be erected immediately upon arrival. Features galore are announced in preliminary information.

The act de Desistance, however, is said to be the daring feat of the intrepid Diavolo. His act is one that has been written about described and illustrated in all Easter newspapers and magazines. Incidentally his understudy killed himself at St. Louis last week. This feat of Diavolo's is undoubtedly the most dangerous ever attempted in the arena of any circus.

Starting at a point from the extreme height of the canvas dome, Diavolo dashes down an Incline plane 110 feet in length. With the terrific momentum thus attained he makes a complete revolution to the air on his wheel. At the top of the huge loop where the rider and icycle are up-side down, the speed has been calculated to be about 60 miles an hour. having dwindled from a 100 mile rate in making the 25 feet ascension to the top of the loop. While the act only lasts a few seconds, they are thrilling ones to the audience.

The Aurora Zouves will also be a returned from London where they have returned rom London where have been appearing for the last few months This company of Illinois boys have taken all the prizes at competitive drill held in this country during the past several years. Their of scaling a high wall makes a splendid finish to their drill movements. Another big feature will be the performance of Minting, the marvel, who ascends and descends a spiral tower that reaches to the done of the canvas. Minting uses but a single wheel of a bicycle in accomplishing the feat. Of riders there will be two score or more.

They are said to be the champions of all countries and of all schools of equestrianism. First class aerial performances possess the most thrilling interest for everybody, and in this branch of arenic art the Forepaugh-Belis shows are preeminently strong. They present an unparalled number of the greatest and most venturesome and original male and female mid-air trapese, horizontal bar, floating ring, invisible wire and funambulistic experts in the most startling flights, dives. evolutions, catches and combinations. A sensational feature will be the wonderful performance of the La Carmen company of wire walkers.

The feats accomplished by them would be remarkable even were they performed 011 the ground, but when it is taken into consideration that the slender wire upon which they work, is suspended high in the air, the performance borders on the marvelous. Of acrobatic companies there are several. the Eddy family of seven men and women, being the stars. Their wonderful stunts are accomplished with a handicap of evening dress tumes. The menagerie of the combined show is said to be made up of the largest and rarest collection of wild beasts ever exhibited under canvas.

The two score elephants embrace the AdamForepaugh dancing elephants and the equally as well trained troupe from the Sells show. Trained bears, donkeys, goats, chickens, dogs, will furnish amusement for the little ones. There wil be clowns without number who will be busy throughout the entire performance. There will be many other attractions to bewilder and delight. Of course the usual brilliant street parade will be given tomorrow morning.

Rain tomorrow will not in any way interfere with the performance as the tent is waterproof, being covered with a paraffin wax preparation. Circus will be at South Lawrence and Lincoln grounds.

HORSE SALE 15 DELAYED SOME BAD WEATHER CAUSES BUYERS TO GATHER SLOWLY.Many Fine Animals Are Offered, the Last Being Unexpectedly Increased This Morning by Fifty, In spite of a slight rainfall up town and a cold disagreeable morning, not a drop of rain fell at the fair grounds and there was a good sized crowd of horse fanciers in attendance to witness the first annual combination sale of the Wichita Horse Sale company, Most ef the people did not arrive quite so early as was expected and on this account the sale did not commence until about o'clock. The entries for the sale were unusually large and up to the expectations of the management in every respect. In fact there were about fifty head of fine horses entered that were not listed in the catalogue and of which the management had no knowledge of the owner's intention to enter them.

This only served to make the sale more of a suecess, however. The man who went to the fair grounds today in search of a horse and couldn't find one to suit must certainly have been hard to please.
