An Impromptu Skit Behind the Scenes of the Ringing Bros. and
 Barnum & Bailey Circus

Psychologists who have made a study of the circus and it's people, state that continuous practice is not the only thing that keeps the per- formers youthful. Light-hearted- ness, the merry games in which they enter into between shows anG the at mOsphere of pure fun and play that at all times attends them, is, so the students say, responsible for their wonderful physical condition.
 The accompanying picture is typical of the spirit of fun that always pre- vails in the behind the SceneS'' DOT tion of the big circus. An admirer has presented the pretty equestrienne with a box of bon-bons. The clown is the posSessor of a "sweet-tooth," but before he is allowed to share in the sweetmeats the rider demands that he bark his very best bark

Miaco a clown past his eightieth year, is as agile as the youngest of his fellows. He can turn flip flop" walk the length of the hippo drome track on his hands or, with out the slightest effort place both heels at the back of his neck. Yet Miaco is not a contortionist He is merely circus performer who has rettained the spirit and the supple nese of youth. In the great, new Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows are several aerialists between forty and fifty years old.
 What is undoubtedly the greatest galaxy of arenic stars that have ever been assembled on one program is now touring America as a result of the combining of this countrys two most famous circuseS. Aside from the entertainment furnished by these hundreds of daring artists it is said to be worth much to watch them from a purely physical culture viewpoint. The mammoth super circus with its many wonders is to exhibit here Saturday, July 2.
