Two massive menageries hive been b'ended into one and tbe two magnificent parades have been se arranged tbat a double parade is giren daily ia the cities where these combined shows are to exhibit. It requires the largest tents that have ever been contracted to accommodate this big amusement institution, and eo enormous have been the crowds attending, tb&t it h ns been necessary to augment the seating capacity, for it is not the policy of these shows to so limit their seating capacity as to make those who desire to see and enjoy tb? wonderfol performances procure reserved 6eats, and while there have been reserved opera chairs placed around the arena for the accommoda? tion of those desiring them, fully eight-tea tbs of the seats are free to the patrons.
