and almost countless animal*
make it the most gorgeous offering
the circus world ha* even known, ac-
cording to Frank A. Cassidy, the
Dantes publicity man, who was here
Tuesday.
The Biggest feature in event res-
pect with the Barnes circus is “Tusko

bo" and weighs ten ton*. Owte* to

interest with the big beast in the
Barnes menagerie.

opakia are offered in thrilling stunts
in big steel arenas, while rabbits, os-
triches. reindeer, kangaroos and
eagles present novelty acts.
Sixteen Lilliputians ranging in sixe
from 20 to 30 inches and Johaan A»-
sen, the Norwegian giant who stands
eight feet nine inches in the air, are
among the curiosities to be seen. The
Midgets are perfectly formed and are
