New

Each week Liberty magazine publishes a series of drawings entitled "News of the World" by Caricaturist Ralph Barton who also illustrates his own drama criticism for Life. Among Caricaturist Barton's offerings last week was (see cut) a "NEW ANIMAL for the great new merger combining the five great American circuses.''*

*There were six circuses in the merger: Ring-line; Bros.-Barnum & Bailey, Sells-Floto, John Robinson, Hagenbeck-Wallace, Sparks, Al G. Barnes (TIME, Sept. 23).
