In the many new equestrian acts of fered by Ringling Brothers' Worlds' (Jreatest Shows, there is a distinction of s-tyle and beauty to be found with no other show. The nerve-quickening bareback riding of circus tradition is there in its most perfect expression, but there are also many innovations in the- art of masterful equestrianism. Shapely horses of delicate breeding are directed through the rhythmic movements of fashionable dance,' and at the simple word of command are made to do amazing tricks, flaistraffng in marvelous ways the altneist human understanding of the educated horse. There are '.'.' beautiful specimens of these pure blooded animals with the big shows. Pre-eminent among 4lu male and female riders of distinguished reputation are the four Bedinis, pre mier riders eif the world; Gilbert Kl dridge, champion rider of Kngland; Orrin- Davenport, America's leading equestrian: Reno McCree, an Austra lian favorite; the Hobsons, Albert Crandail. the De Venes. Rhoda Royal, Lulu Davenport, Madam Royal, John Agee, Nola Satterfield, Nellie Showers and Alex A. I.owanda. In this com pany of remarkable artists that justify the title of the "Worlds' Greatest Shows." are 6 acrobats, 6o aerialists. 40 riders. 40 (capers and vaulters, 50 down. 30 equilibrists and 00 gym nasts of different ground specialties.
