elephants. thousands of performers and employees,
was transportation problem equivalent to moving
an army with artillery and tanks.
John RINGING genius at it, and invented
- number of improvements which were studied
and adopted, not only by the u. S. Army but by the
then Kaiser Wilhelms German army, too In 1908,
unknown to the Ringlings as well as to the u. S.
Government, Germany secretly sent a halfdozen
officers, their names disguised and in civilian
clothes to get jobs with the circus, to study its
method of loading equipment and horses.
When John Ringing got wise to this, he reported
Immediately to the Army authorities, who eased
out the Germans, and sent in military transport
experts of our own-to take lessons from amuse-
ment king on how to move armies
One of Johns inventions, adopted by the Army,
was the use Of fiat cars with metal bridges from
one to the other, so that everything could be
loaded from one point at the back of a train and
rolled to the front in flowing, unbroken line.
In 1909, the Ringlings bought out Barnum &
Bailey, from Bailey's widow, and moved everything
to Bridgeport, where Barnum always had wintered
his circus. But before leaving, they presented to
Baraboo an opera house, exact replica on a small
scale of the Metropolitan in New York.
For a WHILE the two crcuses were operated
separately They combined in 1919 to form the
gigantic spectacle we now know.
During 1924, and after the DEATH one by one,
of all his brothers, John Ringing bought large real
estate holdings in Florida and moved the circus
winter quarters to Sarasota. He built for himself
fabulous Venetian palace, of which more later,
and established the Ringing Art Gallery.
In 1928 John Ringing aspred to become
the circus car of America. He is reported to have
put everything he had in hook, borrowed heavily
and then bought out the American Circus Corpo-
ration, ellsFloto, Wallace Hagenback. the Sparks,
Barnes and John Robinson crcuses.
John Ringing riding high. No other show
man had reached such dizzy heights.
Then came the fateful year 1930-the year the
Ubangis put their "hex" on the Big Top and the
year, too, when the depression hit the circus.
1t looked if Lucky John had lost his magic
touch. 1t looked if the whole Ringing entertain
ment empire was threatened with collapse.
The depression got some of the blame of course.
But the Ringing tribuatonS numerous
that showfoks were convinced the real blame be-
longed elsewhere perhaps on the Ubangi curse"
How the Big Top reached its pinnacle although
logged by series of misfOrtunes including deaths,
wrecks fires and poisoned elephants, will be told in
succeeding chapters.

and in the late SOS the Ringing Brothers Circus
was born 1t was a puny, ring, hick circus,
with a small menagerie, few performers. 1t
travelled by wagons, following the crops. For
while it was tough going
One day John Ringing said: eff we're ever
going TO be real circus, we've got to have an
elephant" The elephant in those days, in rural
regions, was a tabled creature that farmers and
their families would travel miles TO see.
The brothers agreed. They mortgaged the tent,
bought elephant, which changed their fortunes

tradition, protected and profited from these shady
but often plausible and glttering parasites with
their crooked gambling Wheels loaded dice, BOOZE
painted women, rubber-tired sulkeys with fast
horses, and later racing cars, to get out of town
in a hurry in of threatened riot arrest.
But the Ringlings turned thumbs down,

these unwaned camp followers and after some
bloody battles with tent pegs mallets and clubs
and buckets Of water for the women-the shady
gentry left seeking more peaceful pastures.

then TWO elephants, then Tour ele-
plants, then a whole blooming
troop of elephants, and the ia
nous Ringing Brothers Circus,
destined later TO absorb Barnum &
Bailey, was on its way TO glory.
The big tent went on seasonal
tours by trains, began including
cities, was soon an arnbulant ma
tional institution, making and
spending millions of dollars. John
Ringing, most daring and imagi-
native of the five, began acquiring
from Scandinavia and Europe IA
nous trapeze performers, acrobats
and clowns, animals from far-off
jungles, weird freaks, birds, beasts
and humans from Africa, Asia and
the Islands of the Seas.
In the midst of this first great,
dazzling success, the circus also
attracted - but soon began TO wage
ruthless war against "a motley
crew of professional gamblers,
CRITTERS, pickpockets and women,
who came expecting TO buy pro-
lection" from the circus and have

August Rungeling, a harness
maker from Hanover, Germany,
had migrated with his flaXen-haired
Alsatian bride in the early '70s,
TO set up his little shop and raise
the family of boys destined to be-
come circus kings.
The five Rungeling boys were
Otto, John, Al, Charlie and ALI T.
Neighbors pronounced the name
Ringing" so they soon adopted
the simpler spelling. (There were
seven sons really, but the other
two dropped out OF the circus pic

. In 1879, when Otto and John,
the two eldest, were growing out
of short pants, one-ring circus,
Dan Rice'S Floating Pavilion, came
to McGregor. II wasn't much OF

From 1890 to 1909, the broth
ers lived and winter quartered
their circus in Baraboo, Wis,
whence they'd started their first
circus tour. The five worked in
perfect harmony, one secret of
their huge success. Otto, the
eldest, was treasurer and money
