I believe this yellow wagon

was 1 of the 3 RBBB ticket

wagons out front of the top

You are correct sir. CWM also has one of the others, the white ticket wagon. The white one was loaned to Ringling and used as the ticket wagon on Barnum's Kaleidoscope.

"Kaleidoscape" (with an A)

was a grand attempt at a

modern big top production

If only they used knowledge

of the many folks available

they might have succeeded

What a terrible shame the

way such ignorance cursed

it beyond hope of success

Many terrific attributes

under the control of a few

that couldn't spell circus

The final blow was when

the Feld heir announced

the total closing between

the last 2 performances

in Bryant Park in NYC

Thanks again Richard
