Hundred ! ) of hoys and girls with
excited looking fathers , mothers , un
cles. aunts , and not Infrequently
grandparents , as chaperons , were up
with the first streaks of dawn this
morning to see the four circus trains
of Forepaugh and Sells Brothers un
load , but their early rising was use-
le.ss as the llrst train did not arrive
until after 7 o'clock. They did , how
ever , enjoy the sights of the herds
of giant elephants , mammoth cages ,
toy ponies and other animals and
paraphernalia that go toward the
making of one of the world's greatest
shows , unload from the cars and lake
their way to the show lots on the
Olncy pasture between South First
and Second streets. This plot of six
or eight acres was taxed to its ut
most capacity 'to afford accommoda
tions for the gigantic aggregation
and soon Its surface was completely
covered with the great stretch of
canvas that * shelters the animals , the
performers and ( lie guests of the
.show from the heat and rains and
cold.

The tent and slake wagons for the
menagerie top were the first on the
ground and under the skilled direc
tion of one of the "colonels" of the
circus army , they were soon located
and the .steady thump , thump of the
sledge soon provided the "foundation"
for the tented city. The raising of
the tent poles and their equipment of
guy ropes followed In order and in

would astonish the average mushroom
If It could but observe. It nil worked
out as a simple proposition and as
smoothly as a very accurate and well
oiled piece of machinery , and before
people were well aware that a circus
was in town It had secured n tem
porary home , alive with Interest to
the public.
The care of the horses and the men
Is one of the first < onsldorations of
the circus innnnger , and nmnnp the
first tents raised were those for feed
ing the army of workmen and feeding
and protecting the well kept circus
horses. While the other canvases
were being raised and other delnls
looked after bioakfast was being pre
pared by the cook and their assist
ants and the hostlers were busy with
the feeding and care of the horses.
The first train arrived from Omaha
at 70 : ! this morning and was fol
lowed by the other three at brief In
tervals of time , the last arriving about
the middle of the forenoon. This left
but a few hours to complete all ar
rangements for the circus and make
preparations for the grand parade.
but It seems that the bigger the cir
cus , the better the management , there
wete no waits or delays from the time
of the arrival of the first train to the
parade through the streets.
' The Parade.
The Forepaugh-Solls people give
particular attention to the parade fea
ture of their performance , and It was
witnessed by thousands of people In
Norfolk this morning. It proved n
glittering pageant of gold and gorgeousness -
geousness , with many unique and In
teresting features. A body of trum
peters and mounted heralds led the
procession , followed by a military
band , and a number of chariots of al
legorical significance , embellished In
golden has relief. A group of llth
century knights in picturesque cos
tume , mounted upon richly caparl-
Isoned horses followed.
The second division , led by a band
chariot , consisted of an equestrian
display remarkable for the attractive
character of the horses ; n largo float
carrying fourteen men and women
costumed In the gowns worn at a
Russian wedding feast ; three herds
of elephants including Congo and
Xeffa , two African war elephants , said
to be the only two of the species In
captivity ; n caravan of twenty-five
camels , followed by a float bearing a
group of Japanese in their native hol
iday dress ; two tandem manage
teams of great beauty.
The musical clowns leading the
third division created considerable
merriment ; a body of mounted Hus
sars ; two Roman chariots drawn by
eight fiery racliy ; steeds , a number
of nllqgorlcal floats ; a military dis
play representing the American ar
mies of the wars of 177G , 1812 , 1818.
1801. ISftS ; open cages containing
lions , tigers and oilier wild animals ,
and an enormous tank cage showing
the hippopotamus completed the
third division.
The fourth division consisted of a
military band ; many elaborately dec
orated floats ; several open cages of
polar bears ; . the performing Shetland
ponies and ninny other Interesting
features.
The Circus Performance.
An immense gathering witnessed
the opening of the afternoon per
formance. Elephants danced , clowns
cut merry capers and the laugh of
the small boy resounded through the
great nronnhero fully 10,000 pee
pie were gathered.
A series of Interesting historical
tableaux In which nearly 1,000 in-torn ,
Imrse.s , elephant * and camels portrayed
trayed the chaimlng scenes Incident
to the opening of the Panama canal
opened the main performance after
the spectators had passed an hour In
the monster menagerie In which near
ly all the rare beasts of the world
had representation.
Following this spectacle , which
vanished like n mirage , twenty odd
eleplmiits bounded Into the three rings
and wall/oil , walked on their hind legs
and Interlocked trunks In fanciful
omhfnntlons. A shriek from the chil
dren welcomed the regiment of
clowns which broke Into the hippodrome
rome oval as the elephants swung
their unwieldy bodies back to the
menagerie. The reign of Joy contin
ued until the acrobatic specialties be-
uan. when everyone held his breath
at the daring performers who did Itn-
possible ( things on Illmsy Irapcscx
and barn high In the air. Wonderful
equestrian acts came next ; Julia I > i-
wande exhibited her beautiful thor
oughbred equine tricksters and won
ureat admiration.
The dual performance In Norfolk
\\lll be given tonight at S o'clock.
Forepaugh-Sells circus Is all that It
N advertised to be Immense , clean ,
up-to-date , novel and well worth one's
time and money. Crowds lingered
about the tents and thronged the
streets during the morning and after
noon and there Is ptomise that many
of them will remain to the night per
formance , some of them expecting to
take It In after having seen the after
noon program. Many will remain un
til the last wagon Is loaded and un
til the last train has sped toward
Sioux City whore the show Is billed
lo appear tomorrow. It has been a
day that will linger long In the mem
ory of the eirais-loving people of
and vicinity and should the same
shows ever again come this way It
can he calculated that the favorable
Impression they have left behind will
stand them In good stead In Inducing
the attendance of a crowd.
