The big show will be | in San Francisco all of next week and will give performances every afternoon | and night, beginning Monday. The, street parade will start from the show | grounds Monday morning at 9:30: o'clock. Ringling Brothers are known in '\ln Francisco better than any other circus | firm. The show has grown to enor-| mous size. The big tent will hold about ' 15,000 people. The menagerie annex is| almost as big and the animal collec-, tion it contains is claimed to be the' most valuable in America. | Among the odd creatures of wild na- ture to be seen in the natural history | department of the great show are the | only rhinoceros in the country, two giraffes, a horned horse, baby tigers, panthers, forty elephants and a real baby elephant still unweaned. The cir- cus acts will be given in three rings, on two stages and amid a forest of over- head trappings. The hippodrome races will be run on a track one-fourth of a mile long. The big epectacle of “Jerusalem and the Crusades” will open the perform- | ance and last about thirty minutes. The | costuming of this feature is lavish in| the extreme and the music and ballet | specialties, as well as the athletic pu»‘ times introduced, are new. There are | 200 girls in the ballet and chorus and the music is furnished by a band of | fifty pieces and a tremendous portable | pipe organ. | Nearly all the circus artists are new[ to San Francisco, they making their | first appearance in America with Ring- ling Brothers. The four Eldreds from England, the four Bedinis from Italy,! the seven Clinserrettis from Germany, | the Tasmanian troupe from, Australia and the eight Colini-Cairons from France are among these. . The riding feats of the JEldreds and Bedinis are novel and made a great| , hit in the long Chicago engagement of | the Ringlings. The Dacoma family, Dollard troupe, Rio brothers, Fortuns brothers, flying Fishers, three Alvos, Tybell sisters, Kauffman family, Jack- son family and Genaro and Theoll are foremost in a long list of circus celebri- ties. { The trained elephants, performing seals and educated horses are striking numbers in the big eircus programme. | Ringling Brothers are said never to have had so big or satisfying a circus programme as they offer this season. | The street display Monday morning promises to throng the streets with ex-| pectant sightseers. The sensational “thriller” of the circus programme is the much-talked-of “leaping the gap.” Walter Lowe, the performer, who dares | ! death by a desperate ride'down an al- | most perpendicular plane about two feet wide and then flies on his wheel | ns | through space for fifty-two feet, land- | ing on .a nadded incline, has caused more sensational interest than any dar-) ing performance brought forward by | a circus entervrise within a generation. \ —————————— | A Carload of Trunks. | A carload of trunks and dress suit | cases just received at a saving of 50 per | cent in freight.

The San Francisco Parlors marched along Mason, Market, Kearny, Bush, Mont- gomery and then down Market again c¢n their way to the ferry to join their brothers in Oakland in a night parade and to-day in the great day parade in | celebration of the anniversary of the admission of California into the Union. Twenty-three parlors .were repre- sented in the parade by about 1200 Na- tive Sons, who, with banners and flags, fireworks and red fire, made an attrac- tive display. The procession started from the Na- tive Sons’ headquarters on Mason street and was made up of a platoon | of mounted police followed by a band of | music, Grand Marshal H. M, Squires and his aids, Company F, N. G. C., a carriage containing Grand Vice Presi- dent J. L. Gallagher, Grand Secretary Charles H. Turner, Grand Trustee J. | Emmet Hayden and Past Grand Pres- ident C. W. Decker, then California, Golden Gate, Mission, San Francisco, El Dorado, Rincon, Yerba Buena, Bay City, Niantic, National, Hesperian, Al- | catraz, Alcalde, South San Francisco, Presidio, Precita, Séquoia, Olympus, Marshal, Army and Navy, El Capitan, | | Dolores and Twin Peaks parlors. Almost every parlor had a beautiful | banner mounted on Wwheels, but there | was no special effort at uniform decor- ation, except that many of the parlors with the regalia worn during sessions, while Alcalde Parlor made a fine showing, preceded by its drill corps in bright military uniform. A bit of color was added by Twin Peaks Parlor appearing in line, the nkembers carrying parasols illuminated with American flags. In the parade'to- day the members of the parlors will appear in uniform attire. A feature of the procession was the banner of El | Dorado Parlor mounted on wheels and drawn by a pair of diminutive donkeys. The night parade was a creditable one, and the members of the different | “subordinates” of the order must, by | their appearance in the march, have created a very favorable impression on the very large number of strangers who saw them pass down the line. ‘With the blare of brass bands and the firing of rockets and bombs the { San Francisco parlors met at the foot | of Broadway in Oakland and were es- corted to their several headquarters. At least 3000 members of the organ- ization took part in the Oakland pa- rade and that city was filled with visi- tors. The visitors were met by Berkeley Parlor, which acted as special escort. At the slip were also Chairman L. M. | Cobbledick of the general committee on arrangements; Frank Smith, chair- man of the reception committee; Sen- ator Joseph Knowland of the recep- tion committee, Rod W. Church and others, who welcomed the guests in the mame of the city. As soon as a line could be formed the march was’| |begun and the procession paraded through the main business streets of the trans-bay city. Thousands of peo- | ple viewed the parade and many ac- companied the guests to the head- | quarters of.the parlors, where open house was kept until a late hour. The freedom of Oakland has been | given the guests and to-day members of the order from all over the State will celebrate- the admjssion of Cali- fornia as a member of tHe nation.’ The i hotel and reception committee, which | has headquarters in the’ old - Union | Bank building, at the corner'of Ninth | street_and Broadway, had its -hands full last night in securlng accommoda- tions for visitors. At the Reliance Club a vaudeville show and high jinks entertained hun- dreds of the visitors to Oakland. Prep- arations were made tv accommodate the crowd in the spacious tymnulum of the club, but the house, accustomed to seat comfortably crowds that at- tend sparring exhibitions and view the ! training of Champion Jeffries, was en- urely inadequaté to contain the multi- tude that applied for admisston. Many were turned .away. A committee in charge of the jinks secured the services of a number of the vaudeville performers in the local theaters and the entertainment, con- sisting of songs, recitations and comic specialties, lasted until after midnight. During the intermission between the| numbers on.the programme, refresh- ments were served and:a general good time was enjoyed by all AT S OAKLAND READY FOR EVENT.
