At the close of the season, October 19, all the horses, buffaloes and long-horned steers were shipped to the Miller Bros.' ranch at Bliss, Okla.. while the wagons, seats, lights, cars snd equipment went to Edward Arlington's eastern winter quar- ters at Passaic. N. J. The eastern quarters are In charge of Fred Bee km an, who la busy rebuilding and repainting. J. C. Miller Is now on his ranch at Bliss. He has purchased a large herd of buffaloes, which will .Increase his holdings to about one hundred, and a* he la possessed of the largest ranch In America, he will almost control the buffalo Industry. Edward Arlington, who la an equal owner with the Miller Brothers In the 101 Ranch Seal Wild West Show, Is laying out hla campaign for the coming season. The show will be larger In all departments, and will absolutely stand on its merits. Performers have been secured from foreign countries, aome never seen in Amer- ica before. Kew novelties will be sdded, en- tirely foreign to the Wild West show, and some surpassing any ever seen with a tented show. of the old superintendents have been The cook teat will be under the supervision of Arthur Davis, who successfully handled it last season. • Ed.

A. Pheeney, of the Hagenbeck-Wallace stall, is now located In the box-office of the Auditorium Theatre. Denver, Colo. Pheeney waa formerly twenty-four hour man and contracting agent with the Hagenbeck-WalT It la wondered why tbe Eastern wheel (Bnr- lesqne Circuit) won't make its' entry in this city. Why, the business would be great. It was tried here about live years ago, but alnca then things have been changed from a theatrical standpoint and the community assures success. The Portsmouth navy yard across the river with between 4.000 to 0,000 men alwaya sta- tioned permanantly. the burlesque gsme would be a mint. This city Is no longer a one-horse burg, but a live tandem town. You New York "wise ones" get wise to the situation. And now Is the time to take ad- vantage- Special mention should be made of the great success Mr. Stephen H. Butler, resident mana- ger of the Orplieum Theatre across the river, Portsmouth.

Mr. George Baker Moore, a local young man prominently connected In social life of this city, played the Juvenile part of Jefferson Byder In Henry B. Harris' Lion and the Mouse Co. Young Moore haa been connected with the foot- lights about three years and he certainly is making great headway. LOUIS S. SALSBDBY. EBERLE TH REE 8C0RE TEN. Robert Eberle. for the laat sixteen years manager for William Gillette, has now reached hla seventieth year, almost of all which have been of a theatrical connection, as actor, man- ager and producer. Hla relations In the by- gone years associated htm with Lawrence Bar- rett, Edwin Booth and other atage celebrities of a generation ago. The septuagenarian's greatest activity took place In 1889, when In the August of that year be went West to California with Barrett to prodnce a repertoire of playa that the famous actor brought out at the old California Theatre. Besides this association with Lawrence Barrett Eberle also acted as stage producer " McCulIough and other contemporary In 1889 he returned to New York with Barrett, and acted In the capacity of stsge director of all their Shakesperlan productions during Bar- rett and Booth's partnership. Between this connection and tbe commencement of bla ss- soclatlon with William Gillette. Eberle pro- duced playa for Katherlne Clemmona, who later became Mrs. George Gould, and produced moat of tbe earlier Augustus Thomas plays. In 1894. he accepted his present engagement with Gillette, and will no doubt remain with this Broadway favorite for the rest of bis working hours, as bis position with Charles Prohman seems life-long.
