Circus Parade Delights Thousands Through City Streets
Thousands crowded city streets to glimpse the Ringling parade ahead of the show. A huge colored band wagon led 24 spirited horses with national floats and seven brass bands adding lively, if discordant, music. The crowd on W Washington Street paused traffic about 20 minutes as the procession passed. Inside the grounds, spectators watched the rapid tent rise and the unloading of monster wagons drawn by multiple horses. The commissary fed hundreds, with meals priced at 20 cents.
