The reputation of Rlngling Bros circus bus
grown with wonderful rapiditj all over the-
enuntry. but now'here ire these enterprising
managers assured of a warmer welcome than
hem In Omaha -where the growth of their
show baf been watched witb ever-Increasing
admiration The memorj of the big circus
war in 18C ! , when unknown , and pre'vlouslj
unheralded the show won a signal viotorj
over a rival and firmly established .itself
in the good will of the Omaha puolic will
never be. forgotten Since then the phew
has twice \isltcd Omaha and on each oc [
casion it has demonstrated. Its superioritj
as an amusement institution That tbe
show It. this jear more -thou ever wortlij
of patronage , is evidenced by the following
extract from a Chicago jiaper , printed dur
ing the recent memorable engagement in
that city
"No enumeration of figures no mere llbt
of wondrous features could give un ade
quate Idea of tbe resources eif the show its
overshadowing immensity , its wealth of
paraphernalia the vastness of its mammoth
hippodrome pavilions , its armj of people iu
dazrling glories of gleaming gold and ncin-
tillming eolor and its "kaleidoscopic urrsj
of strange peoples and wtlll stranger rate
wild beootE It JB only by comparison witb
its own former greatnesr that its present
stupendous magnitude can be appreciated , it
is only when it is jrallred that Rlngling
Bros' circus has twice at. manj CETE. twite
ae manj elephants , twice tbe number of
huge pavilions , twice as many people , iwice
as manj ouperb performers , twice as large
a racing course , and Beating capacltj for
twlc.ii as manj * people ai i. bad last 3 tar
that the magnitude of his Monderful enter
prise can lie even approximately understood
And then , such a elriu * nuth a menagerie
such a bewildering display of rate and costlj
