LIFE IN THE RING.
The Story Told by an Old Olroua
Man.
The Diury of a BiuKle Day How
the Men Live and What
They are Galled Upon
To Do.
Philadelphia Times.
Findiij , ' ruu Tiniua reported an attentive -
tontivo liatonor , the old clrcns man
said : "Ouo of the moat amusing
things to circus people Is the sympathy
they hoar expressed for them by thoao
rot in the business 'This clrcns life
ia awfully hard , isn't ' il ? ' 'Why you
people never Bleep , do yon1 'Novor
| { ot half unoiifh tn oat ? ' nnd much of
the BO.UIO aort. Now the truth In that
in thu matter of oatltig nud alooplng
circus pnoplo nro perhaps the moat
regular of nny class. In the first
plnco you should understand some
thing nbont the labor they have to
poi form , bill It would tire yon to hoar
all the details , they embrace eo many
dllloront kinds. The moro com
mon nro thoao : The nvorago time
of the arrival of a show Into n town la
in the neighborhood of 5 a. m. An Boon
as it arrives the labor of unloading
t ho train begins. There are a sot of
man who do nothing but load nud un
load trains. These are the Orel to getup
up , and they are quickly followed by
the oauvau men , grooms and driven.
Everything belonging to the show la
loaded in wagons , and those are run
oil" the cars in a very few moments ,
the horses are hitched up , and then
ovorythlng ia taken to the ground * ,
Oaco there the first touts erected are
the stables and cook tontr , nnd thn
food and msrkot stuff nrouln-itly upon
the ground , having bcon nruti g-d lor
by agents in advance Tim muiiuuvrlu
tout ia the first of the Inryo u-utn t go
up , and the work of feeding ilio an
imals ROCS on.
"About 7 o'clock thoao thinpa nro
done nnd the laboring mon nro otlltd
to breakfast In their cook tout , it
being separated and apart from the
ono used by heads of departments
After breakfast the work of putting
in seato and building the the ring IB
completed uud then the task ol
preparing before the parade is partial
patud in by nearly everybody. The
perforators nnd executive pcoplo generally
orally liu In their births , In the
sleeping cms , until nbout 8 o'clock ,
when they gut up , dross nnd bathe ,
for which every convenience la fut-
niahod. A card upon the car door
tolls thorn what hotel to go to , am
there they prococdod to breakfast. As
a rule , performer. * take part In the
paradebut that Is generally ever by 1'
o'clock , nnd the 'hotel people , ' as
they are called , return to a 12IO : ! din
ner. In the meantime , everything
having bcon made ready for the of tor-
noon performance , the laboring mon
have a rest , which la continuous until
breaking up time nt night. They are
supplied with dli.uor and supper
Performers go to 'tho lot * nt about 2
p. m , perform their part of the pro
gramma and then they have naually
from 4 p. m , to 8 p. tn , lu which to
oat iiippof and amuse themselves by
reading or strolling about town , there
always being plenty of citizens who
are willing to show thorn the boat at
tractions of the place.
, AWAY , UKB-TIIK AUill.
"Supper upon the lot lasts from
| 5:30 : p , m. to 0:30 : p. m. , and then the
. performance of the afternoon It
| ropoatod. At about ! ) o'clock the
work of reloading begins and proooodi
BO rapidly that when the circus and
concert are concluded the tout in
which they are given is all there ia lofl
upon the grounds , and it taken onlj
about half nn hour to remove that
and then ovorythlng ia ready for the
next town. It la a rule , not always
observed , however , that the portorr
. of the sleeping cars shall lock
them at midnight , no thai
everybody la supposed to bo in
bed at that time , and the cars bolnp
constructed only for sleeping pur
poses , rogilar sloop and plenty of It la
- Bomowhat compulsory. The accomo
dations for sleeping nro usually ample
and the hurt ha are occupied by thi
saino people throughout the season
so that they become accustomed t
and like them. Indeed , It ia a frequent
quent thing for people to rcfaso a bed
in a hotel upon Sunday night , whlol
. Isnlwaysprovided , the berth , or homo
being preferred to n stracgo bed
And I myself have often lift n hoto
table for the cook tent , because tht
faro there , while generally ( simple and
n plain wan always frush , well cookoi
" nnd wholesome.
° "Where do circus pcoplo nil com
from ? From ovorywhoro. Porhap
the majority originally came from th
country. Young Country lads BOO litho
the circus nil thur'o ia of the glorlou
and grand In this world run awa
from homo and biro out In nome rnluo
, capacity. If they are clover physl
cally and develop Into performers , o
simply remain as a driver or canvasi
man or common laborer , they alway
retain their love for the country , nn
very many poi formers , after goin
from city to town and town to cltj
remove In the winter to th
country and remain conton
odly 'till the bluebirds ling , ' as the
express the time for starting ou
Very many kings and queens of th
arena have no ambition other tha
tholr fdmlllta and private life upon i
farm. Others obtain employment I
the winter upon the variety atago c
In circus companies in the aonthot
countries , Cuba and Mexico , whl
many go regularly every winter to E1 !

people aside from the laboring mi

the character of men in theao dopai
monts has improved very cu
slderably so that now perso

commercial Intelligence freely off
their sorvlco , nnd managers , finding'
moro agents than there IB demand for ,
retain the boat and pay those much
smaller salaries than they formerly had
to. Still , there nro some men .whoso
salaried run na high as 87,003 in onn
Instance , and qnito a number of mon
receive na mush as $2GOO for the sea
son aoaally six months in length.
Of late yoara quito a proportion of
performers como from gymnasiums ,
and many of thoao have been young
mon who have impaired health by too-
much study , nnd find in clrcns life the
physical oxerclso necessary to health
and the gratification of a doslro to
travel inculcated by reading or the
nomadic Instinct so natural to the
young.
LAUIKH IN TUB rilOFESHION.
"Of thn women that enter the pro
fession their origin is not always cer
tain , but n majority of them nro born
into the business and know nothing
outcido of it. There arc n few nota
ble exceptions , but perhaps n major
ity of I hem nro women of only ordi
nary inetit.il attainments and pecu
liarly cxc'uslvo ' lives , however con
trary to common opinion that may
coom Until they are untried , nnd
that ia generally early in lifa , they
ro almost Invariably accompanied by
thnlr fathers , brothers or mothers ,
whoso anrvoillanco la usually very
strict. ladies who ride or per'orm
daring feats looks down upon mom-
bora of tbolr own BOX like the pretty
Montague , who are not acrobats.
They declare that such ladies 'havo
no talent. ' A woman born pretty IB
regarded by them In the same sense as
a woman born with a beard or no
arms merely as a curiosity. Circus
people seldom care to make acquaint
ances outside of the buiinoes. This
applies particularly to the women.
Knowing that they are regarded as >
class In as lair n light as they should
bo , they return the sarno sort of dls-
cust , and ontsido of tholr most inmate -
mate family friends hardly know or
rust any ono. Perhaps to omphaaiza
his fact , I can clto an Instance in my
wn cxporlonco where I have been
rlth a company which Included some
hlrty women , and , although I stood
lese to the management , my ao-
.aaintanao with the women was never
ihoro than the ordinary exchange of
alutation , except with two , and they
were both married ladled nnd old
enough to bo my mother. Public
opinion concerning circus woman is
almost entirely erroneous nnd docn
; hem the grossest Injustice , although
this opinion dorlvoi na origin from the
very exolusivouoaa the women depend
npon for their protection. The pub
lic knows clrcns people as being
all of ono kind and cla , when , la
truth , there Is aa much diversity
among them aa la possible to conceive -
ceivo lu n like number of people
banded trgethor in any other call
ing. Even the laboring mon are
saving and support families with
their Binall wages. The postoffioo
money order system la n great aid
in thaf. direction , and every pay-day
finds them all over the country buy
ing Uncle Barn's orders upon the
pnatollioo where they liv ? . I have
given yeu n trun picture of a people
that everybody BOOB but nobody
knows. How do yon like ill"
