Show BUFFALO BILL 15 Cdl 1 CIRCUS Small Boys Are Looking Forward For-ward in Delighted Anticipation Antici-pation of Big Show. Upon the calendar of the small boy of Salt Lake there yet remain three dismal days. For they are the days of waiting, the days that will intervene between now and that day of days when "th circus comes t' town.": And that the date may be definite, that will be next Thursday, June II. Early that morning the Sells-Floto circus and Buffalo Bill himself will roll into town in two trains, to unload, to hurry to the lot on Main street and Eighth South street, to rush tho tents into the air and make the thousand and ono preparations that-are necessary for the perionnanco of a circus.

And whilo the men are working out at thtt circus lot, the crowds on the downtown streets will be watching wha.t la heralded as being the longest circus parade iu the world. Two miles long it wili be, containing a sample of everything that is in the circus, from the forty clowns to the two calliopes and Buffalo Bill himself.
