This Is the show that amzed New York City with Its European company of actors, and Its extensive new menagerie. Its pa rade is the longest ana most superb spectacle that ever passed through the streets of any city o?i earth. On April 2, 1883, the five brothers gave their first performance In their honie town. Baraboo, Win., on the public square. They made thel rown tent and their own ring properties, 'i lie audience sat on planks borrowed from a lumber yard. They had but one horse. Prom that little one-ring affair to their pres ent stupendous organization the hls tor of the Rlngllng Brothers reads like a fairy tale. They began with noth ing. They now own the greatest amuse ment enterprise In all history. The reason of their success Is no secret, li is a peculiar comhlntulnii of the right kind of talent and a poli cy of uprightness In dealing with the public. Even during its early days :t was a good show. It was small, hut it was a nearnest endeavor. Without capital the line young men struggled against the bitterest opposition. They won the confidence of the public, nnd have always kept It heeiuiso Micy have always deserved It. A very few years after that first performance their riv als began to sit up and take serious notice when mention of the Rlngllng Brothers was made. They realized they had an opposing force to compete with that had come to stay. In a few years more the Rlngllng show took first place among the tent shows of America, There is where it will al ways stay. It has become the leader In the rat of entortainmont, Among the many European features offered this yoar are the Sohumun horses from the Circus Schumuu at Berlin, Scheveninxon and Frankfort.

Tourists travel many miles out of their way to visit his Institu tions In Germany. There are fifteen animals in his act. They enter the arena concealed in large beer barrels plied on an Immense brewery wagon. They are not discovered by the audi ence until the kick the heads out of the barrels and jump Into the ring. They begin their act by pulling the bungs from kegs, drawing a beer-like fluid from the tap and drinking It from big glasses. They roll each other around in barrels. They waltz In time to music. They skip the rope and smoke pipes. From the beginning to the end of their act they remain stand ing on their hind feet. Another great act is presented by the Saxon trio of the world's strongest men. Two of them rorm the pillars of a bridge over which passes an an. tomoblle with six passengers. Still other novel and great acts are present ed by the Lorch family of acrobats, from Germany.?the great Alexis fam ily of aerlalists, Robledlllo, the Span ish wizard of the w:re, the Dutton family of riders, and the greatest com pany of clowns In the world.
