CIRCUS TRUST? WELL, RATHER
Hank Wakefield Says the Ring
lings Are It.
Have All but Two or Three and

More shows.

Some years ago If a man saw Hank
Wakefield in town ne Immediately Won
dered on what train the circus would ar
rive. Hank was always aheld Of the
circus. and for that reason is probably
the best known circus press agent and
Official IN the United States he has
been at the game for twenty-five years,
and last night was as enthusiastic about
IL as ever. although he is not now con-
nected with any attraction. When asked
for an interview Hank said that it was
unusual for anybody in the newspaper
business 10 ask him TO talk as he had
up till very lately forced his interviews
on every newspaper man he met.
rs there a circus trust? Well, / should
say yes. The Ringing Brothers are the
trust. and they own almost every show
of size in the country. They own their
own show. of course. and they own Fore
paugh and Sells show, they own Bailey's
show, and Buffalo Bills outfit The only
shows Of size that are not owned by them
are the -Hagenback, John Robin
son. and Sells-Flota.
The Ringing Brothers bought the
-Forpaugh show some years ago,
and as Lew Sells, the last OF the brothers,
died day or two ago, they will probably
change the name shortly. One son of
Lew is about to start a circus from
Kansas City, and this viii probably keep
up the name Of the Oldest Snowman in
America.
by buying the interest in the Bailey
show from Miss Bailey. daughter Of
James Bailey, the Ringlings' obtained
the ownership Of that show. which in
terest included the major ownership of
Buffalo Bill, which is now entirely con-
trolled by the RingIings- Within few
tars I look for them 20 be the only
