of local sports that stayed down town
to get the fight returns the extreme
heat kept the people off the streets
and in the shade. The thermometer
registered as high as 102 during the
day

ORIGINAL RINGLING SHOW.
Yankee Robinson Made the
Present Ringing Show.

The Ringling Bros, in an interview
in New York in April of this year,
made the statement that they owed
their success to the greatest Of all
showmen, Yankee Robinson. For two
seasons the Ringling show endeavored
to pilot their shown on the sea of cir
cusdom, but met with disaster each
time and wended their way back to
Baraboo. Finally Yankee Robinson
took the then young Ringling Bros,
up and with the Yankee Robinson g.
Ringling Bros. Show made a success
This continued for some time, li.lail,
Yankee Robinson and the Ringling
separating. Today these two man.
moth shows continue to rule the
world of circusdom, and each one is
credited with having the best circus
performance and menagerie carried
with tented organizations. Bothshows
are still on friendly terms, each one
contented with the territory allotted
them each season. The only possible
friction between the two big shows is
during the winter months when some
big foreign act is desired by each show.
The Yankee Robinson Shows has the
Ringlings bested in this regard, hav-
ing formed an alliance with the great
vaudeville interests of the country
and having the only high-class vaude-
vile house operated on the big circuit.
