A hun- dred railroad cars are used, and it will require the morning to transfer their contents to the Camp Meigs show grounds, at 4th street and Flor- ida avenue northeast, where the “big show” will spend Sunday and give performances tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday, both afternoon and night. On this occasion Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey bring a roster of man and woman stars augmented to a total of $00. Added features troupes of trained Tata- stallions, Europe's biggest jun- acts, and twelve “baby elephants, pitted in per- against three herds of pachyderms. Apart from the trained animals are the thousands of the menagerie, including a family of gi- raffes, and such unique exhibits as “Big Bill,” a rhinoceros valued at $30,000. A feature in the menagerie is John Daniel, 2d, the only gorilla known in captivity. Thirty Tents to Be Raised. Those who follow today's caval- cades from the railroad tracks will Witness the erection of the first of thirty tents, though the 700-foot “big top” will not be raised until to- morrow morning.
