Barnum, Phineas T(aylor) 1810-1891. US
showman. In 1871, after an adventurous
career, he established the `Greatest Show on
Earth', which included the midget `Tom
Thumb', a circus, a menagerie, and an
exhibition of `freaks', conveyed in 100 rail
cars. He coined the phrase `there's a sucker
born every minute'.
