Circus Life and Circus Celebrities (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781547019786)

Excerpt from Circus Life and Circus Celebrities
There are probably few persons who do not number among the most pleasant recollections of their youth their first visit to a circus whether their earliest sniff of the saw-dust was inhaled in the building made classical by Ducrow, or under the canvas canopy of Samwell or Clarke. In my boyish days, the cry of 'This way for the riders ' bawled from the stentorian vocal organs of the proprietor or ring-master of a travelling circus, never failed to attract all the boys, and no small proportion of the men and women, to the part of the fair from which it proceeded.
