- Very few have a conception of even a part of the many things which must be seen to with the precision and regularity of clockwork in connection with the business behind the scenes of a big, mammoth circus. Here we witness the animals about to be entrained for some new destination. The elephants, horses, zebras, camels, and animal wagons present a vast concourse of animated bustle and business, all controlled with the greatest skill in their disposition. Cages are hoisted on the cars with teams of horses. Sixteen camels hitched to a wagon make a brave showing. The loading of elephants is one of much interest, and the cage containing a hippo and pushed by an elephant is a scene to be remembered. The arrival of the circus trains and the business of detraining is graphically shown. The commissary arrangements show the dining-rooms, kitchen, and the crowds who watch the cooks. The pictures of the circus parade are delightful and various. Inside the circus we see the actors coming out of the tents to their dressing-rooms and then come some ring scenes. Last of all is shown the crowd coming out, when the show is over, and the inside of a side-show.
