How far back in time was the bail

ring invented & utilized in circus

tops & were push poles used before

It appears that the 24-hour man didn’t make arrangements for someone to mow the lot prior to the show arriving.

I have vivid memory of Red Hartman

mowing inside the ring curb before

tha assembly of the steel arena

in the early 60s (for Beatty)

I think he mixed too much oil in

the gas for that cheap mower so it

smoked up the entire tent better

than I could have done with effects
