Norfolk is a good show town especi
ally for Rluglitig Bros It luinlly
appears necessary for tho advertising
cars to distribute tholr extensive and
exhaustive advertising matter when
tho name Rluglitig appears to bo
sufficient Tho people hero aro ac
quainted with tho show They sootu to
fool a sort of individual prido in the
brothers success Thoy have mot so
often that thoy fool almost Uko old
friends Thoy have loarnod to know
that when Ringliugs make a date to
inhibit horo they will son something
good aud thoy havo never boon disap
pointed Ringlingssoom to havo learned
also that Norfolk has a friendly fooling
toward thorn aud thoy never appear in
contingent territory but that one of
their dates aro made in Norfolk Thoy
havo learned to expect a good crowd iu
Norfolk of whioh people front the
country aud surrounding towns form no
small part It is a genuine pleasuio to
havo them come and tho people tool
somehow that thoy aro glad to come
It is not surprising therefore that
tho crowds commenced assembling horo
early this morning aud havo kept it up
all day until tho old town has assumed
a regular holiday appearance Thoy
came in by special excursion and by
team from miles around and tho streets
especially during the parade woro
thronged with people from whom tho
candy peanut lemonade and ico croam
merchants have gathered a splendid
harvest of small coin while tho regular
merchants havo by no moans boon al
lowed to doe
It has boon a successful day for the
show and tho towu while tlio crowds
have reaped tho pleasure tho pleasure
almost of a lifetime because tho circus
has improved and improved wondor
fully so that there seems to be no
chance of fuithor additions for the
pleasure aud profit of Its patrons
The circus arrived from Sioux City at
an early hour this morning and began
tho task which to tho novice appeared
almost insurmountable of unloading
the cars but it was accomplished in an
lucrodably short sptco of time Tho
materials for tho touts the maguificaut
cars and wagons the animals and tho
thousand aud ouo lessor appurtenances
to a great show wore successfully trans
ferred from the train which came in in
throe soctions to tho grounds tho work
being watched by a vast uumbor of
interested spectators who were almost
as well pleased as in seeing tho show
itself
Tho work of uuloading had scarcely
begun until tho grounds at the Olney
posture were assailed by a small army
of cauvasmeu stake drivers and
other workmen and under their
scientific manipulation tho vast touts
soon assumed shape springing up
like immense fleecy cloudH above the
horiou It was a magnificant spectacle
and well worthy anyones attention
The menagerie eating and horso tents
were the first erected as tho good show
man is a good feeder and the emptiness
of his employes and animals is carefully
aud abundantly filled as tho first pre
requisite to good faithful duty Tho
vast stores of hay gram vegetables
meats aud other provisions that were
safely and expeditiously stowed away
where thoy would do tho most good
would astoulBh any hotel
There appears to bo no rest for any
employe of a show aud while the finish
ing touches were being put on the tents
the larger part of tho working army was
transferred to getting the parade in
readiness The canvas coverings of
tho maguificaut cars were removed
splendid banners were uufurled and
placed the horses were harnessed and
caparisoned and promptly at tho hour
set 10 oclock the maguificaut and
imposing spectacle was under way
It was conveniently divided into sec
tions and paisod through the crowded
streets all too soon to suit tho gaping
throng which would havo delighted to
watch its magnificence and hear its
znusio aud other noises all day long
But there must be no lagging on the
pare of those constituting the displays as
their duties for the day are fairly begun
It was an imposing affair which words
are inadequate to describe aud tho mast
one could say was wonderful
magnificent I and other expressions
indicating amazement approval and
delight
Among the novel features of the pro
cession was a set of cathedral bells whioh
rang out popular airs as the line moved
Another novelty striking aud beautiful
was au excellent baud of musicians
mouuted on white horses Iu striking
coutnint to this organization Spader
Johnsons clown baud followed filling
the air with a fog of discords Tho
unique gang of musical malaprops is
warranted to play all around a piece of
music without once hitting the keys
Musio was also furnished by a military
baud a caliope and a Turkish orchestra
The Ringliugs were gouorous in tho
display of I heir wild animals Many
cages were tin own open and their
contents furnished the spectators a
practical study Iu animal history
Tho Ringliugs havo J5 elephants
just ono half those In America and the
largest herd iu captivity Fifteen of
those monsters walked iu the parade
each hanging his trunk on tho tall of
the ouo iu front of him
Never boforo have so many botutiful
horHos boon soon iu Norfolk and as to
tho piirado and perforin tnoo thoy ox
milled those of any other circus on tho
road
Tho pantile was followed to the
grounds by a vast number of I ho people
where thoy witnessed tho usual froo
performance
After this the oiowds thinned out for
dinner and thorn was oousldorablo
hurry as ninny wanted to spend a long
time in tho inoiiagorio boforo tho after
noon performance commenced and as
soon as the main entrance was opened
tho crowds began to lock iu until it
appoii od as though the entire popula
tiou of tho county and thou some woro
bent on seeing tho show and by i
oclock tho time for the afternoon per
formance to begin tho seats worn well
occupied with a staring llustratod audi
once As th i Ringliugs claim that tholr
oil cits tout will seat 18000 people there
must have boon nearly if not quite that
number present
The opening act of the performance -Last
days of the Century or tho Light
of Liberty was all that is claimed for
it and was unparalleled in spectacular
magnificence It was participated iu by
uoarly all having connection with tho
show mid was a most thrilling and pati i
otlo sight Types of soldiers from all
countries on the globe woio represented
and tho events of several famous battles
woro ropiodueod but of course tho
soldiers Hags and representations of
American achievements eaptuiod tho
hearts of an outhiiisiastio and patriotic
audiouco
Following this wad tho rogiilai circus
performance which would require sov
oral newspapers and much time ami
oflort to adequately describe Suffice it
to say evoty individual aot was splendid
especially tho wonderful performance of
the horses elephants and other animals
Tho greedy eye of tho onlooker was kept
constantly alert aud active in tho im
possible endeavor to boo everything at
once and his only seeming disappoint
ment was that ho missed something of
interest Ilowovor it was a very woll
satisfied crowd that came away after tho
performance was ended Many who
saw it Huh afternoon will go again to
night and those who woro unable to at-
teud tho afternoon performance will
certainly bo on tonight so that an
other largo crowd is assured
In this connection it is not improbable
that a short sketch of tho Ringling
Brothors as showmen would prove inter
esting Thoy early coucoived an ambi
tion in their chosen profession and
when vory young lads their first per
formance was given uudor a carpet tout
tho admission foe being pins Their
show at that time was not unhko the
shows given by tho kids of tho present
day but their ambition was not satisfied
with ouo attempt and at their next
hIiow a pouny admission fee was re
quired and m a short timo tho treasury
of tho persevering young amateurs con
tained tho magnificent sum of 837
with which they purchased sheeting and
made their first real tent This was all
accomplished out of school hours Their
next effort was tho exhibition of a
panorama painted by an artistic
neighbor lad on the back of brown wall
paper and mounted ou rollers This
scheme was shortlived as some larger
boys with a bump of dentructiveuess in
ordinately dovolopod destroyed their
parphornalia after they had taken in 37
cents
Trio regular circus business proved
fascinating however and to their uext
entertainment thoy charged an admis
sion fee of fivo conts Thoy had traded
for and old and decrepit Mexican pony
which has since proven the forerunner
of as magnificent a field of horses as
was over assembled under a company or
mdividual owuerhhip some of which
aro priceless Their parade at that time
was a feature tho music being fur
nished from a jews harp a mouth organ
an old army trumpet aud a drum They
succeeded in attracting the atteution of
old as well as young aud many adults
patd tho uickel admission to see the per
formance and were fully repaid by the
ludicrousues3 of it all
After this the ambition to own a roal
circus became deopvit in their hearts
aud thoy proceeded to perfect them
solves as showmen taking studies iu
musio to start with
They got acquainted with some of the
essentials and organized a concert troupe
and their firt real entry into the amuse
ment field was made They suffered
stage fright discouragement aud disap
pointment but persevered aud covered
quite a circuit
After a few years of concert work tho
troupe becoming more perfect as time
parsed tho boys found themselves
possesaed of 1000 or 1 200 aud the
old circus fever again struck them and
they proceeded to collect material for a
wagon show making many mistakes
and meeting many obstacles They se
cured the services of Yankee Robluson
a veteran but somewhat past number
showman aud traveled for a time ou
his ropuUtiou with varying fortunes
Yankee Itobinsoii did nqt live through
tholr list season and thoy woro thrown
back on their own resources but tlio
season ended with brightening prosmotM
ami though tho proprietors woro not
yet all out of tholr toons thoy woro no
longer hoys either in ago or oxporlouoo
aud tholr next aspiration was to havo
thogioatost show ou earth which
thoy havo now unquestionably attainod
Early iu tholr career thoy made sumo
reforms and novations iu the show bus
iness which among tholr competitors
gave thorn tho nlcicnaino of a Sunday
school show Thoy made war on tho
grafters conlldeneo men and fakirs
which followed other shows at will and
also wore tho originates of the rule
No profanity or ribaldry among tholr
employes and thai thoy did something
which mot the approval of the people in
evidenced by tho way other shows havo
adopted their reforms
In the year 1888 but I J years past
thoy abandoned the wagon method and
have since boon transported by rail and
the wonderful attractions brought horn
today ou 58 extra largo oars is thus soon
to bo not the outcome of a days olTort
but many long active progressive
years
Their show of lod ty would bo in vivid
contrast with their first olTort asa wagon
show ami it would seem that a reproduc
tion of thoh first p trade would bo an in
Htiuctivo and interesting feature iu con
tiast with that of the present day show
ing more comprehensively what a mag
nificent accnmplislimmit has boon at
