Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey



  

 Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey is the circus with the longest name in the world.

 

The Barnum great roman hippodrome represents a construction of wood and canvas. It has ten thousand places and  it is the most capacious auditorium, ever existed in New York. There are ostrich races, chariots race, tightrope walkers and acrobats.

 

The circus is famous for the shows with elephants. The London Zoo  agreed for a modest sum of ten thousand dollars to give the African giant elephant Jombo to the world’s greatest circus. The elephant has extraordinary size. His weight was about six tons and  his height was of about three meters. Jombo was a “star” of the London Zoo. The news of his purchase of the famous American impresario created a sensation.Jombo was a superstar of the world’s largest circus for three years. The news of the death of an elephant legend shocked the whole world. The giant sacrificed himself saving his young friend Tom Thumb. The elephant took the place of honor in the history of the American circus.

 

Under the leadership of James Anthony Bailey the circus continued to make remarkable progress. The presentations became more brilliant every year. The best artists of Europe crossed the Atlantic to come to one of the tree arenas.

 

Once, five clever brothers, acrobats, Ringlings, by name began to organize  travels around the world to different cities and show different acrobatic numbers in America. The success exceeded all expectations and the brothers were able to buy the largest circus Barnum and Bailey in 1907, after the death of James Anthony Bailey in 1906. He died from the bite of a poisonous insect. 

The troupe began to play shows simultaneously in three arenas.  This is the main attraction of the circus. The audience’s eyes ran away of happiness, when tigers were jumping on the  stage, dogs were dancing waltz on the other stage and several riders were wearing inside a transparent globe on  the third stage. The most impressive number is performed by Oleg Kabanov who graduated the  MoscowSchool. The acrobat shows his number at a height of 13 meters on a swinging glass platform without insurance.  The circus becomes very popular because of the diversity and the originality of the numbers.  The animals and artist’s props are transported from place to place in a train that has three kilometers. 

 

Magicians, jugglers, acrobats and animal trainers play a great show here! The audience likes this circus a lot.

 

The circus is still the  greatest in the world!
