Prop Boss Tommy Clarke at R, supervising getting the ring curbs in. On the Beatty show, white was Big Top's color, here designing these stakes belonged to George Werner's Canvas Dept. There was a pleasant, elderly black gentleman with us, who routinely took his small paint can, and quietly circled the top, touching up his department's stakes. Woe betides the fool caught with a white-topped stake anywhere else.

Hard ground with iron stakes

That's an act's rigging box

in front of the ring curbs
