If you love the circus & circus history . . .Did you know . . . On May 9, 1893, a circus parade passed the nation's capitol just before the convening of the two houses of congress today and broke up practically every committee meeting in the big gray buildng. Groups of senators and representatives raced over to watch the animals and gaily caparisoned riders and to listen to the bands and the strident notes of the calliope. Champ Clark, minority leader in the house called attention to the fact that the G. O. P. elephants in the parade were not so welcomed by the crowd as the Democratic donkeys, ridden by the clowns. Racine Daily Journal, (Racine, WI), May 9, 1910, p. 1.
