Providence, R.I. For the performers who travel with the Ringling Bros. and

for hundreds of performers and crew members. (Photo: Julie Jacobson/AP)
An elephant
stretches its trunk through a window to soothe a sick child. A woman gives
birth and three months later is back performing on the high wire. A handler of
big cats weeps as the beasts lope out of the ring for the last time.
These
stories could come only from circus performers, and in particular one famous
circus, the one immortalized as “The Greatest Show on Earth”: the Ringling
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which is hanging its hat for the last
time this weekend.
One of
Ringling’s two traveling circuses is scheduled to perform its final show Sunday
in New York .
The other closed this month in Providence ,
and with it, the end to a way of life few others have experienced.
The final shows are May 7 at the
Dunkin' Donuts Center in
