SANGER, JOHN (18161889)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 149 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SANGER, JOHN (18161889) , English
circus
  proprietor, was born at Chew Magna, Somerset, in 1816, the son of an old sailor who had turned showman. In 1845 he started with his brother George a conjuring exhibition at
Birmingham
 . The venture was successful, and the
brothers
 , who had been interested spectators of the equestrian performances at
Astley
 's
Amphitheatre
 , London, then started touring the country with a
circus
  entertainment consisting of a horse and pony and three or four human performers. This enterprise was a success from the beginning, and in due course John and George
Sanger
  became lessees of the Agricultural
Hall
 , London, and there produced a large number of elaborate spectacles. In 1871 the Sangers leased
Astley
 's where they gave an equestrian pantomime every winter, touring in the summer with a large circus. Subsequently the partnership was dissolved, each brother producing his own show. John
Sanger
  died while touring, at Ipswich on the 22nd of August 1889, the business being continued by his son.
