5 and 6 depict one of the 1883 Barnum & London tableau cages. A history is in Conover's Fielding Bandchariots and Thayer wrote about them in Bandwagon. This one burned in 1940.
By the time I came along the Cole show had stopped parading (except Delavan in 1948 for the Wis. centenial). But I do remember them taking the America calliope downtown for a free concert every day, pulled by horses.
