| 1. The era of the
Barnum & Bailey Circus traveling from city to city and setting up on
large open fields such as the one at McClellan Street in Newark came to
an end on July 12, 1956, when Barnum & Bailey gave its final field performance
in Pittsburgh.
The financially-ailing circus had given up, but later that year, Irvin Feld saved the Barnum & Bailey Circus from oblivion by taking over the failed circus and restoring the performances in arenas.
