Circus Roundup was launched under most auspicious cir-

history of the city.
The crowd, which witnessed the homecoming parade in
the afternoon, was undoubtedly the largest ever assembled
on Gainesville streets, variously estimated at from 15,000 to
25,000 persons, and the parade was the most colorful street
pageant in the memory of old-timers.
