Shows, is Heir to $25,000 Estate OLD CLOWN SERIOUSLY HURT. Wlnfleld, Kan., June 23 (Special to lie Bilt- boapd).—"TMiy" Agler, one of the oldest cir- cus clowns in the world. Is very sick at the hospital In this citr, and his recovery Is doubt- rnl on account of bis age. He Is eiEhty-seven years old, and dnrlne fifty years of that time had a variety of experiences in his life be- neath the canvas. Tony has made Wlnfleld his residence for a nnmlier of years since his retirement, and has spent his time around the racing stables, takint; care of Shetland ponies, which he taught nnmerous tricks. Since his illness, a benefit performance has been given for him here at the theatre, as he Is without funds, CIRCUS MAN WINS ESTATE. Hampton, la.. June 24 (Special to The Bill- board).—^Emery SUlcs, iioss animal man with Gollmar Bros.' Shows, has finally won the case In bis claim for the entire estate of his father, the late E. S. Stiles, which amonnts to between $20,000 and ^25,000, and consists of real es- tate and personal property. The District and Supreme Courts have tioth declared that he Is entitled to the estate. Recently heirs to the Bast tried to have the Supreme Court of Iowa open the case, but it" refused to do so. When be wag a small boy, Emery was adopt- ed by Mr. and Mrs. Stiles, but no adaption pa- pers were ever made out. Tbe estate was left to Emery, but because of lack of adoption pa- S'rs • other relatives have been fighting It. oth Mr. ana Mrs. Stiles had said repeatedly that Kmery was their adopted son and that sealed his claim to the entire property. MORE CARS FOR FRANK SHOW. Xew York, June 20 (Special to The BIIl- board).—The number of cars with the Califor- nia Ftnmk Wild West Show has been Increased. Reynolds and Doorgan, skaters and dancere, are also another act from home that has been a riot over here. They are at present plarinj; an elRht wpeks' engagement at the Faiace Theatre, London, England. Hedges Bros, and Jat;oh«>n. the Two Bobs. Bessie Clayton, Trovato, La Keillors and Burbeek and Staiey are among some of the other Yanks that are going some. I understand that Antoine Prevost. for six years with the Chas. E. Blaney Company as official interpreter and Indian man, has severed his connection with the Tonng Buffalo Sheriif of Ansel Gulch company, under the management of Mr. Ballanger, wbini Is now tonring England, and that Mr. Prevost will return to England in the near future with a Wild West drama of his own. John TIbbitts. the well-known amusement pro- moter and purveyor, is in Paris at present, but expects to leave for England shortly to frame ap something new. Saw Rltter and Foster, the American ragtime singers and . dancers, at the Alhambra Theatre here In Paris, last Monday evening and, believe me, they are sure there. The audience, although mostly French, liked their work, as the.v ap- plauded frequently, and' with their, whirlwind finl^ bronght down the house, who yelled. "Bra- vo," "Bravo," and compelled the team to take six bows. Harry De Mario, the frog man, formerly with the Ringling Show, was also on the bill and scored a big success. His act is away from all other "frog" acts I have , ever witnessed. He Informs me he is booked over here until 1914. , Campbell and Barber are another American team of cyclists who were a big noise. An English act l>llled as Carlton, the Pres- ttdlgitatenr Comiaue. who has appeared at the K. & P. houses In New Tork a few years ago. was also on the same bill and is a great comedian. His assistant with the acrobatic comedy stunt, who mates his entrance from the audience where he is '^planted." is decid- edly clever, and the roars, of laughter which seemed to shake the bnHding were ample tcs- CREW OF ADVERTISING CAR NO. 2, TWO BILLS' SHOW.

June 19.—Paris la crowded with tourists at present, many coming north: after spending the winter months at Xice, 3fonte Carlo and other resorts. It may be of interest to the people In the United States to know that there are 16.000 "Tankees^* who have permanent hom^ in Paris and that there Is conceded to be a Boating population of 23.000 American tourists here at all times during the season. In answer to a query from one of The Bill- board readers who wrote me a personal letter regarding the:whereabouts of Tony Uerridc, who was a cowpmcber f<»merly with different Wild West shows, wonid say the last I heard of him he was located In St- Paul, Minn. Harry De Mario, the frog man, formerly with BlngUng Bios.' Show, is at the Alhambra The- atre here in. Paris this month. He has been a tremendoos success on this side of the pond. He was married while In Rnseia and his charming Uttle wife proves a valuable addition to his act. He goes to Budapest for a three months' engage- ment ttODt here. ' Am requested by many artists over here: to express -fteir sorrow upon learning of the acci- dent that befell Sirs. Toledo, of Toledo & Price, while in ttie Garden with the Bamnm & Bailey Show, and all Join in saying they hope she has fully recovered by now. Also learned with regret -that Ves Pegg had been injured by Lemon Squeezer, the 101 Ranch bnckine liocse. , StIU many; people penist in 5!S?°» the. bneklnr horses carried with Wnd West shows are trained. The States seem to be pretty well supplied with Wild West outfits of all kinds, and from advices Itist received It looks as though next season Mr. Chas. Irwin of Cheyenne, Wyo., one of the principal promoters of the Frontier Day celebration held there annually, will ~take the road with a first-class Wild West show to be re- crulted from Cheyenne and vicinity. This report Is not confirmed by Mr. Irwin at this writing, hot Its source Is a reliable one. timony that this clever acrobat was" making them like it. Carlton leaves for a tour of the Orpheum Circuit, opening In Spokane, Wash., In Jnly. The weather here has been very warm the past two weeks and' as a result the park mana- gers and all outside amusement owners In gen- eral are -wearing "the eniile Oiat won't come off." Regards to all friends. Wish to say yon can not get Bull Dorham tobacco here in Paris for love or money at present. The Indians here do not 'like the French tbliacco. GOLDMAN-MORGAN SHOWS.
