Some idea of the vast expense of
creating and maintaining great cir
Gus may be gained from the fact
that the Ringing shows menagerie
: alone is valued and insured at more
than 81 ,000, 900; the forty performing
elephants are worth $250,000! The
robe worn by one elephant alone cost
$4,000.
The length of Ringlings' main tent
is $50 feet, the largest ever erected;
the menagerie contains 108 cages,
and the parade is three miles long.
The 4,500 costumes worn in the Solo
mon and the Queen of Sheba spec
tacle of the Ringing circus cost
$500,000 and the spectacle itself was
produced at the cost of more than
$1,000,00O, and to present it ballet
of 800 girls is carried.
Double these latter figures for
the Barnum shows are about the
same size, add one-third for the
A.. smaller shows controlled and you will,
have some idea of the magnitude of
the show" business.
Thirty-three years ago Al, Otto,
ALI T., Charlie and John Ringing
started the show as a concert troupe;
with rag carpet and paper whale;
an. old cornet, played by ALT; some
bottles and lamp which Al Jug
gled; John doing Dutch comedy, and
Charlie giving recitations, while Otto
got the money.
After one frail season in halls and
barns and vacant store rooms they
bought two horses. Al rode them
forty miles. They had a small tent.
For ten years they struggled along
under canvas as a small wagon

had grown so that they were serious

mined to stamp themselves as the
greatest.
AS it costs $4,000 a day for 200
days to run each of the shows, and
perhaps $4,000 more to operate the
smaller ones, and they average about
300 days a season, you may figure
easily that the American people pay
oyer $4,000,000 into the box Office
before the Ringlings can begin to
take interest on their investment and
count profit

CHATS WITH CONTESTANTS

Some contestants may wonder why,
in the Solution Blank Book, a key is
given to 20 of the 80 pictures. This has
been explained before but for the ben
eft of late corners I will repeat. This
pose. It provides for the contestant a
day of rest from picture solving every
so often or gives him a chance to study
some back pictures; in fact, 1t breaks
up the strain of uncertainty character
istic of these contests. Again, it pro-
vides form of amusement that many
are taking advantage of; on the day
a SOLVED" or keyed" picture appears
