Will Be CIRCUS TRUST
Story That Rinklinss Have
Bought Out Barnum
& Bailey

New York, Aug. 3l.-Within a few
weeks. according to story circulated
in the amusement world. the Ringing
Bros. will control practically the
entire circus interests of the globe. It
10 declared that the Ringlngs, who,
for many years had wed with the
Barnum & Bailey shows. have an
option on the latter which will expire
in ABOUT two weeks. That they also
have an option on the service of
William F. Cody ''Bufflo Bilp') and
his Wild West show is said to be
included in the program.
When James A. Bailey died the
majority of the stock in the company
went to his widow. Charles K.
Hutchinson, Frederick r. Hutchinson,
Mrs. Bailey's nephews and W. W.
Cole. the multi-millionaire show
promoter, form the board of directors.
There never has been any fusion of
circus large enough to attract atten.
ton. Every Snowman had TO fight the
Others, but when the profits became
greater it seemed Inevitable that the
tendency in the financial world to
combine in this and make even greater
profits would communicate itself to
the circus men.

greatly improved giving . much better
