Ringling Brothers' Worlds Greatest Shows have been vastly enlarged this season, and will exhibit in Ypsilanti, Tuesday, Sept. 18. The rent will be a memorable one, for this great amusement enterprise now stands at the head of all the great circuses of the world. This proud eminence is the reward of years of untiring effort on the part of this great quintette of managers. In their efforts to give the public each successive season sorae new and hitherto undreamed of novelty, they have compelled every clime, habitable and unhabitable, to pay tribute to their enterprise. The jungles of África and the pampas of the south ern hemisphere have given up their treasures for this vast concourse of zoológica!, ethnological and aquatic marvels. The list of great riders embraces Miss Josie Ashton, Mike Rooney, the Ross Sisters and other clebrities. The Oriënt furuishes Atimoto's troupe of Jápanese equilibrists and an entire tribe of Arabs. The menagerie presents the only Giraffe in America, the largest 1 popotamus in captivity and a 1 and other zoological novelties. The horse fair will be a revelation to lovers of fine stock. The hippodrome races, given upon a great quarter-mile track, combine the best features of the modern turf, with the most exciting contests of] the days when Rome was atthepinacle of her power. The street procession which ushers in circus day, stands alone as the most resplendent spectacle ever exhibited free upon the streets of any city in the world.
