IT TAKES BIG MONEY
TO RUN A CIRCUS.
$4,000 a Day Is Just What
It Costs.
AMERlcUs GETS THE LEWATHAN
Forepaugh- SeIls the Greatest Circus
On Earth-Enormous Cost of Main
CONGRATULATIONS Will See the
Greatest Only" Saturday

Ameucus will have the great Fore
paugh Sells Bros. circus next Satur-
day. The show was in Savannah two
days ago and is described by the
Morning News as the monarch of them
all, AS the big circus will soon be
here some facts regarding it, and es-
pecially the cost of running il, will be
of much interest.
The veteran Snowman, Peter SelIe,
is authority for the statement that if a
circus can hold Its own after it has
crossed the Ohio river it is money
maker.
This Is because the money is really
made in the East and West. The trip
South is made to avoid long lay-up
in winter quarters at a dead loss.
When the menag erie is off the road
the animals require the same attention
and eat just as much as when they are
on exhibition.
Thus it is if expenses are paid on a
trip South the circus owners are really
making money.
G. N. Thompson, business manager
of the Forepaugh-Sells Bros. aggrega-
ton, gave out some interesting infor-
nation. In the circus business the
money is made in the East and West,
where the expenses are lighter than in
the South. For the circus to hold its
own there must be daily attendance
of 1900, which includes the LOO
free admissions and a percentage of
children.
Itrequires an expenditure of $4,000
a day to keep the show on the oad in
the South.
In the East it costs from $4,000 to
So, 900 a day to keep the circus going.
Transportation averages $500 run
and licenses at the outside 500 a
week. In many places no licenses at
all are required. Then, too, in the
East the show people and the animals
can be fed for less.
In the South it costs from 500 to
S.. 900 run for transportation, and Ii
censes are from $500 to 5000 a day, 1t
also costs more for food stuff in this
part of the country.
Of course there are places in the
South where money is made, but there
are greater number of places where
it is lost. Admissions for side shows
and concerts, and the revenue from
the sale of peanuts, popcorn, candy
aud lemonade make up the profit after
the II, 0OO people have gathered under
the mammoth tent.
The tent under which the Forepaugh-
Sells circus is given is the largest piece
OF canvas in the world. The circus
represents an investment of three
quarters OF million dollars, and the
life the proprietors, representatives
and performers lead is strenuous one.
