A cocktail-table playfield seen from above under glass, cropped small from a printed flyer. The field is bright blue scattered with small white dots, inside a border of red-and-white striped bunting and yellow rows of lamps. At the top two clown faces in red panels, one with a white face and frilled collar and one in a red hat, flank a central lane. Below them a single round bumper with a red and white cap marked 100 sits on a cream floor inside a diamond-shaped ring of red and white rails, with a red starburst beneath it. A white circus horse with a red plume and red harness stands at the right of centre, a yellow disc with a small flying figure to its left, and a red and yellow ring target between them. A large red star lies in the lower centre. Two red triangular slingshots with dark figures stand above the two flippers, and striped tents fill the bottom corners.
