THE RISE OF THE RINGLINGs

New York Sun-Of the seven Ring
ling brothers, t.lfred T., who died
Tuesday at his home in New Jersey,
YVES the fifth to die. John Ringing
and Charles Ringing are left of the
famous family which fought the great
circuses Of the past and absorbed
them. In the shows they own, the
Barnum & Bailey and the Forepaugh-
Sells enterprises have been united.
Out of the middle west the Ringlings
came and met the old established
amusement enterprises on their own
ground. forcing the struggle for pre-
eminence, and winning a hard con-
test. Unlike Barnum, the Ringlings
were circus men from their youth
Barnum was speculator who turned
his hand to anything which gave
promise of profit. His success as a
Snowman was built on successes and
failures in many other fields. The
Ringing boys swapped skiff they
had tired of for pony and started
a show" under makeshift tent. ad-
mission to which was bought with
pins. Soon pennies replaced the pins,
and the family was started on it's
career In the sos the brothers had
a wagon show, trading largely on the
interest aroused by the advertising
campaigns of the great circuses of
those days. The brothers were enter

circus men had to hire strangers to
do they did themselves. There was
Ringing to supervise every depart
ment Of their show, Ringing to pro-
tect every Ringing interest. The fam
lily was unusual, perhaps unique. Ger
tainly there have been few enterprises
brought up from nothing to great i'm
portance by a family Of seven boys,
all Joined together in the same calling.
Railroads made the modern Ameri-
can circus possible. Without them it
could not cover the territory it does
with the amount of machinery, the
tents, the menagerie, the horses, the
laborers, the managers, the athletes
it must have. Perhaps a day will come
in which motor trucks will take the
place of railroad trains; bold circus
man may even present a show trans.
ported through the air. A circus re-
mains essentially unchallenged in the
entertainment it offers, but it must
take advantage Of every modern i'm
provement. 1t must always be up
with the times.
1t is said that the Ringlings started
definitely in the show business with
less than 5000 capital This may be
true. They had, however, something
better than money. Money can he
earned or borrowed. The Ringlings
had grit. persistence, initiative, un-
Tagging industry. These qualities can
not be borrowed. They cannot be i'm
provised. With them achieve success,

and difficult business of running ascir-

man was doing when daylight came

George took off his dressing -gUwr
and put on collar and tie, his fingers
shaking so that the tie was not his
usual success; then he picked up his
