This Is Barnum and Bailey day! In the old days It would have been called simply circus day, but that no longer expresses tho full meaning of the event. The Barnum and Bailey show la not merely a circus. It Is a r*great amuse¬ ment institution.a verltablo traveling world's fair. Nothing like It has ever been organized before, and it is doubtful If Ils çourfierpart.'wlll ever be soen again. The show"'will arrive at an early hour this morning. It crimes from Norfolk, where two exhibitions were Riven to enormous, crowds yeslerdny. Tho first of the five sections will get in about day. break. The others will follow in rapid succession. As ???? as possible the curs will be unloaded and the paraphernalia transferred to the exhibition grounds, on Broad Street, adjoining the golf field. The work of erecting the tents is most interesting, and always draws u big early morning crowd. Tbe tents cover twelve acres, but so remarkable Is tho discipline of the men that they are erected and prepared for the opening exhibition in three hours. Those who attend the show to-day will undoubtdty be surprised and even startled by Its magnitude, "How is it possible to Vandle such an Immense concern?" Is a question that will bo asked a thousand times to-dny. The answer in simple. It Is system .a marvelous system! it Is true, hut bo simplified that it runs like tho well-oiled wheel« nf tin Intricate ma¬ chine. And the motor behind It nil.the roan who makes the machinery go ami who keeps the most délient« pens 0f the mechanism in working order-is Jume» A. Bailey, Among circus people it is ? common saying that "the Barnum and Bailey show Is James A- Balloy nnd that .lume.« A. Bailey is the Barnum nnd Bailey show." ONE MAN'S MIND. Probably in nil the history of amuse. nient thero never was an Instance of uno man's mind dominating a great Institu¬ tion to the same extent. But the Gre.it- set Show on Karth, like Its director- general, Is largely a matter oí évolution and development. When Mr. Bailey und P. T. Barnum joined forces, twenty years ago, and Mr. Bailey took the practical management of the show, he literally "carried the financial affairs of the concern around in Ills hat." Tho ticket seller was the treasurer of the show, There wero no book-keepers, no auditors, no elaborate system of accounts. When the show mado money there wns a surplus at the end of the season. When It lost, which sometimes happened, the deficit was evi¬ dent ut the close of the circus year, and the amount had to come out of the pockets of tho owners. Under such a system.rather lack of system.the mod¬ ern Barnum and Bailey show could not successfully run ? week. Tho business part of tho show, that part which the publie knows nothing ut all about is now conducted Uko a greut mercantilo establishment. There Is a general treasurer and his assistants. There Is an auditor and a staff oí bookkeepers, ].-or every cent expended there Is a receipt, und for every ticket sold there Is u check or voucher. Every night at 10 o'clock the manager knows by figures taut cannot lie whether tho show has hail a profitable or losing day, ? nil I'.ow much to a penny, 1ms been made or lust. In tills great circus etsablishment every day must stand for Itself, and this Is rendered possible by tho fact that It Is a strictly cash business. Tho circus never has any outstanding, uncolloetod bills, DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, So much for tho financial end of tho big show. Important as thlsVJopnrtmont le the show could not tie run unless able and compilent men wero in charge of Its virions other departments. Every department, while blending with all the others, has a distinct Individuality, There is a general manager and general agent of the advance department. There aro agents who arrange for the bill¬ boards, for tho newspaper advertising, for tho lots upon which tho show must exhibit, for the forage required for the COO horses and tho 30 elephants and for the provisions necessary to maintain the circus dining tenta and their thousand and more daily guests. Then thero aro four advertising cars, each with a manager and a complement of iï> men, who post the glaring circus billa and distribute the horalds through the country. Theso men cover tho same ground over and. over in their efforts to arouse public Interest in the allow. HOW WORK IS DIVIDED. Back with tho show there is a gen- oral manager, a general superintendent, a superintendent of canvas, a "boss" ani¬ mal man, a superintendent of stock, nnd numberless other "bosses,· 'all of whom have largo staffs of assistants and su¬ perintendents and working people under their direction. The work Is so divided that thero is a separate force for every big tent and every Important department. For instanco, the cook tent department employs about eighty men. Those Include canvas men to put up teli cook tents, cooks, servants and waiters. These mon have nothing to do with any .other part of the show. In tills way they are enabled to devote their energios to one department nnd to work with an expedition that seems marvolous to the novlco. Contrary to the general Idea, tho per¬ formers have nothing to «lo with the erect¬ ing of the tenti or preparing the "proper¬ ties" for the performance. The canvas gangs put up the tents, the "property men" take care of the rings and the rig- glnrî. and practically all the performers have to do Is to give tho "turns" for which they are engaged. Only a fow .if them go Into tho parade, and tholr posi· ARCUAL SALE.TEN MGLLEON BOXES Greatest in the World A MILLION AMERICAN BEAUTIES keep their blood pure, their complexion eoft und clear, thuir breath awoot und their whole bodioa active and healthy with CABCABET« Cundy Cathartic Tho quick elfects of OA80ARETS us eyatero clean¬ er» and blood purifiers; their promptness In curing pimplen, bolls, blotchea, liver fipote, blackheads, and in eweetonlntr a tainted breath, have become known through tho kind words of ladina who have tried them.

Old-timers among the public often sigh for the "one- ring drcus of our daddies," but this re- grot is not shared by the modern per¬ former. With the growth of the modern circus, his Importance has grown, and he is a star, in fact, as well as in tkime. THREE RINGS. The Barnum & Bailey circus was the first to add a second ring, and this was done because the tent had been enlarged to accommodate the crowds, and it was necessary to bring the performance as close to the spectators as possible. The third ring was added for the same rea¬ son. An effort has always been made, however, to give the performance in tri¬ plicate. For Instance, In the big ac¬ robatic number, Instead of having a num¬ ber of dissimilar acts going on at the same time, each of the rings and stages is occuplod by a famous company of gymnasts. At one end Is the Dlnus fam¬ ily from Bavaria, At the other end tho Sisters Qrunatho, a Parisian troupe of acrobats, presents a remarkable display cr agility and daring. In the canter ring is the Florenz troupe of German celebri¬ ties. One can watch any one of these ucts, and be satisfied that the limit of acrobatic excellence has been seen. It Is so with the aerial acts; It is in évi¬ dence In the riding numbers: it is ac¬ centuated in the great me'nagarle per¬ formances, In whloh the only difference that can be detected by the audience Is the variation In the color of the horses, The value of the modern Barnum & Bai¬ ley circus as compared with tbe old-time show is also especially emphasized in tho menagerie. TWO CÚMPLETE PERFORMANCES. There Is, of course,, a splendid zoologi- cal collection, including three herds of elephants. In addition to this there la a, remarkable congress of strange and curi¬ ous people from all parts of the world. Thero is no extra price for this attrac¬ tive and -notable display, The Inaugural performance will take place nt 2 o'clock this afternoon. Per- l'orman<?es will also be given to-night and Wednesday afternoon and night. The parade, which Is described as especially brilliant and imposing, will take place Wednesday morning. Grand sinnd and box seats will be on sale both days at Branch R. Allen's, No, OH) East Main Street, without any ad¬ vance In price. Tho 60 cents admission tickets, which also Insure a »eat, will he on sale on the grounds at the opening hours. IMMIGRATION LEAGUE. Large Number of Delegates Meet in New Orleans.
