Barn UM,S BIG CIRCUS.

A Peep in st Bridseport.. Preparing for tho

/ staAmertss. =
4. T. Barnna has purchased the
Great Lopdon Circus and las It com.
tortab)y laid by in winter quarters
with his own mammoth combination
at Bridgeport, Connecticut. In tho
spring he will start out with combi,l-
cd show and menagerje, the most ex-
tensiyc ever seen, and will visit the
larger cities in the North and East
His pliating bill for posters reaches a
hundred thousand dollars or more
every year, and it takes seven thou
sand admissions Or three thousand five
hundred dollars a day to clear ex-
penses. If this mammoth venture
docs not succeed he will send tho Lon
don Circus over to Great Britain and
keep his OWN in the United States.
A correspondent Of tho New York
S@n visited Bridgeport and was
shown through the winter quarters by
Mr.. Hutchinson, ono of Barnum's
partners.
BEHIND TIE SCENES.
"The ring barn." said Mr.. IIutcbin-
son, opening tho door of tho long
building at which the company had
alighted. The ring barn is compart-
mcnt eighty feet square, with stalls for
tbirty-s1x horses on three sides of it.
In the corners of the other side arc two
dressing rooms. In the centre thero
is ring fOrty-tour feet In diameter, of
the ordinary circus pattern. The floor
Of tho ring is Of earth, and the wooden
rim around it is carefully padded to
prevent injury to the practising riders.
Mr.. Il. Dockrill, equestrian director of
the combined shows, had completed
his morning work OF training the new
performing horses for next season, but
he illustrated the manner in which the
riders practised. From the centre of
the ring rose structure something like
q derrick. It consisted Of an upright
beam, with a horizontal timber cx-
tending out from the top. The hori-
zontal piece rcvolvcd on pivot. From
tho end filrthcst from the centre pole q
rope depended. At tho cnd Of the
rope was strap made into loop.
The rope worked on pulley and was
raised or lowered by man standing
at the centre Of the ring, when tho
forcqucstrian honors mount
cd his barcbacked stccd (no pad riders
arc allowed III the slow), the strap
was fastened around his BODY. The
man ut the centre pushed tho horizon
tai piece around as fast rs the man
rode, and thus kept the rope continu-
ally attached to him. If the horse
stumbled or the rider lost his balance
the man at the centre pulled quickly
on the end of the rope, and in an ina
slant the rider was dangling in mid
air, like spider, while the horse went
galloping OH.
Madam Elise Dockrill's six trained
horses, whose glossy coats givc evil
dcncc Of careful attendance, stand in
the stalls. They arc exercised almost
every day in the arena to keep them
from forgetting their education. Mr..
Dockrill has them in charge. The mad
am is spending the wintcrin her bcauti-
