The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus will open at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, March 30, with an almost completely new show which they are bringing on four trains from Florida this week. So new is the show, which yearly marks the coming of spring in New York, that the company promises even “a new hump on the peanuts.”
Some of the new features include the pageant of the Durbar of Delhi with 1,600 people, five herds of elephants and hundreds of horses, and 150 new acrobatic attractions.
