The circus as we know 1t today
probably dates back to about TITS.
Prior to that date there were groups
Of strolling players of one sort or
another, but they were mostly groups
specializing on one type of act. 1t
wasn't until these groups began to
combine to provide a varied enter
tainment under one tent that the
present circus was born.
Today the CFA lists only a dozen
true circuses in the United States.
OF these. 10 travel by motor caravan
and only two by train. The two train
circusses are the Ringing Bros. e.
Barnum 81 Bailey and the Cole Bros.
The first Of these has already been
here and the second Is not even
coming close to us this year. The
CFA makes a distinction between
circuses and travelling carnivals.
There are many carnivals, but few
circuses. This should not be taken
to mean that the circus is on its
way out. however. Mr.. Hildreth feels
that the future of the American
