Barnum and Bailey drop parade after three years
Circus officials defend removing the street parade as unnecessary advertising and a strain on train schedules. They say the show’s size, improved acts, and broad appeal keep tents full, while animals and performers stay rested for sharper performances. A daily free show by Prince Youturkey on elevated wire is announced. Circus day slated for Wednesday, Aug 14.
