At least |not on the route of the greatest |shows and yet New Britain of the cighties and gay nineties with a | scant population of 20,000 saw them | all. At least one and some times two big circuses played the Hard- ware City in those days. Barnum' Forepaws, Ringling Brothers and| Buffalo Bill's Wild West each in | turn brought the “Thrill of a Life- time” to the barefooted youngsters |of those remote days, remote as one | measures modern progress. | Ride in With Dawm Old timers tell of traveling road shows that came into town in the |grey of dawn after an all night haui |from New Haven or Waterbury. They were small one ringed affairs and pitched tent on the village green, Corbin's lot in the rear of Church street opposite the depot, or other vacant spots about town that might be hired for a day or two. But the big grounds were on South Main street, Bassette's lot opposite he end of Ash street. The lot cov- ered many acres and dropped off into a ravine and wooded swamp | towards the south-west. The whole | region is largely occupied by three |family houses today, comp Trinity, Buell and Roberts streets. Circus day was a day advertised weeks ahead in amazing lithographs |and bill board displays. Far out in- to the country the advance men | went posting their tremendous an- | | nouncements of droves of elephants, | menageries of ferocious and un- |heard of animals. Church horse- sheds and wayside barns were fa- orite display spac for these gaudy announcements illustrating | the greatest and most daring bare- back riders and trapeze artists t |world had ever known. The day before the hig event fond | parents were pestered to death with | pleas from their young hopefuls to | be allowed to get up at 4 a. m. and watch the circus unload. The Com- mercial street siding was usually the | focal point for every red blooded kid in town and the first arrivals were |usually on hand long before dawn. | Long drawn out whistles announced |the approach of the first train bear- |ing tent wagons and poles. Yellow the standard color of circus |cars and they were longer, higher and altogether more imposing than |any ordinary freight and it surely | was thrilling to watch one pull into |town in the grey of the morning, the gaudy wagons swathed in tar- | paulins and dirty canvass. Groups of roustabouts huddled on top of |the cars awaiting the moment for the train to halt on the siding when without a moment's delay hut seem- ingly unhurried the whole circus world would. suddenly awaken to life and with machine-like preci- sion proceed to “unload” Off for Circus Grounds In no time runw in place | and the big can covered | trucks were rolled to the ground and soon on the way to the uth Main street grounds. The menagerie ain soon followed in the wake of the tent cars. Great interest attac ed to the unloading of the animal wagons and to speculate whether | the hoarded in cages contained lions tigers or perhaps polar bears. The elephant cars quickly drew a crowd of eager youngsters envious to see the big pachyderms work their pon- derous bulk down the runways. Long practice coupled with the great sagacity of these huge beasts made it an ¢ job though one | s always amazed at the skill and of the performance. he performers were rarely 1o he seen, but you knew they were ali sed in the long shade-difiwn sleep- ers, Once the elephants started for the grounds the juvenile element deserted the freight yards for the new scene of activity. Tent men and teamst and roustabouts were scattered all over the place but with every man engaged on an as. signed task and knowing exactiv what to do and when to do it. It was an intensely interesting but an orderly confu xperienced youngste the ropes landed jobs ¢ for the elephant of winning a and they v less fortu we sed water . It was a sure way | pass to the big show at once the envy of companions perhaps attending their first unloading and cking the nerve to ask for a next time they would be in on know.," Barnum and Back in the ¢ cighties befo Bassette's lot bec the recogniz grounds for the big shows, the cir- cuses showed back of Walnut Hill About this time Barnum came her | with the famous elephant “Jumbh ah st Indian elephant highly touted as the largest ever held in | captivity. With “Jumbo” was the | baby elephant and they were a | sreat drawing card. “Jumbo” was Killed in a grade crossing acciavat in Canada a few years later and it was told that the big beast heroical- ly saved the life of the haby by tos ing it to one side an instant before a freight engine struck and fatally | injured the great animal. There w at rivalry in the circus husine in these days and if Barnum's failed to show hers one year, Adam Forepaw came with big circus. Forepaw had Bolivar, huge elephant, as a counter : tion and rival of Barnum’s “Jumb. Forepaw was also famous for hav- ing tine horses. The truck animal were huge Morgans and Percherons and the riding and driving horses and pories were the best that mon- ey could buy.

Tt was coming out of the West and it did. It was the first eastern appearance of the famous Ringling Brothers. They came fo New Britain the day after the Fourth. The Fourth of July anl Ringlicg Brothers offered a com- bination unheard of. It promised ex- citement enough to last twelve months, but unfortunately, the Fifth was rainy. Folks used to y that the discharge of ought rain and at any rate Fifth that year saw a deluge, but the circus came and showed :nd despite the storm New Britain turn- ed out en masse to see it and it fur- excitement of an unusual the big circus wagons mired to the hubs on the lot. The drivew into the grounds was & morass and the crowds jammed the entrance to watchl forty and even fifty the wagons out on io the pavement. Once when a big truck mired down and refused to budge despite the united efforts of horses and men, it was rumored that the big elephants were going to be put to the task, but before this was resorted to the wagon finally ut a path through the mud and the swearing and sweating drivers manouvered the big hitch into South Main street. Altogether it was. one of the greatest circus days New witnessed Columbus vs, Nineveh 'k about the time of World's (olumbian exposition at Chicago, celebrating the 400th an- niversary of the discovery of Amer- Parnum with a huge pectacle entitled the “Landing of Columbus.” Today it would be a poor substitute for a movie of the modern scale, but it proved a draw- ing card. Hundreds of extras were used in the various scenes and New Britain kids acting as Indians and Spaniards saw the big show without price or! the hazardo expedient of crawl- ing under the tent. Forepaw put on ari spectacle. 1t was the *“Fall of Nineveh” and was supposed to give one an idex of harbaric splendor: that ruled when the famous Biblical city was in the height of its glory. As a spectacle it wasn't much. The walls of the city were only painted canvas and the soldiers were large- ly New Britain boys in tin armor battling with wooden swords and pears. It gave opportunity to seil illustrated prosrams telling all about the great event. Barkers went among the scated throngs shout- ing “Re-mem-bar, thar are no So if you were that flush, you paid an extra twenty-five cents for a program. Somewhat like modern collegs football game, where you are greet- ed by under-graduates shouting “Programs of the game, names and numbers of all the players.” New Britain 1s no longer on the route of the “big show.” Real tate in a growing city is worth too much money to leave idie all yvear for the purpose of providing for the masses one or two days out of 365 and the auto- mobile makes 1t unnecessary for the circus to play any but the large cities. The automobile, by the has done away with another wholly enjoyable phase of circus the big, free street parade. T con- ditions make it impossible. Wild West Shows Earliest recollections of the fa- mous Wild West shows goes back 1o the eighties when Buffalo Bill's (Colonel William F. Cody's) Indian and cowboy outfit first played New Britain. Buffalo Bill showed on the South Main street ground ber of times as hundreds Britain residents will r. lo Bill was a dime novel A showman and educator and the mere mention of his name was thrilling to the younger gener- tion. Playing Indian and cowhoy was a wild and joyous pastime for vacation free youngsters weeks after the great show had departed. The Buffalo Bill shows were given in a big canvas-walled arena open to the blue skies above and givi a feeling of the freedom of the open plains. The audience was pro- tected from the elements but not noble redskins and their scarce less hardy comvanions, the pictu esque cowpunchers and lariat throwers.
