The list;of Knglish- stockholders i s nlso decreasing, and as their holdings an- readily taken up whenever they aire put mi the market', it H only n question of a slioa time before the show' is -entirely owned m ibis cosntry again.- The passing of the iiivi dehd. If-is announced^ was considered good business policy In view of the losses sitstnlnrit by the heavy storms In Hie South list Fall nnd the necessity for thoroughly re-eauippintr the show for the wason of 1007. The spien fMd (InanclnL condition of the show Is evi- denced by the fact that t,here Is a reserve fund of fBOS.OOO, which Is nt the disposal nf tbe management to meet any condition that may arise. W. W, Cole, the new maoojiine director, has taken up tbe work of organizing the show for tbe new season with atrhls old time vim and energy. There are a.thousand and one details to be looked after, but \\< Cole's long and successful career -ns n show- man have eminently fitted him for the work lie Is vpry mnch'ln tonch witb .the bushier staff of tbe show, and tbe nftnpUatinn i- harmonious throughout. Louis £. Cooke, who will act In the dual capacity of general agem for both tbe Bamurn & Bailey- and Runaln mil shows, has bad a strenuous Winter, but will undoubtedly feel-repaid by tbe unusuallv nttractlve character of the pictorial paper and distributing nutter for tbe new season. W D. Coxey bas written the publications for the Rarnum & Bailey Show, and Major John M Burke and Charles Stowe are responsible for the descriptive matter utilized In the Buffalo Hill literature.' W. B. Macdonald, secret au- to the Barnum & Bailey board of directory has been 111, but Is again able to be at bis desk in the*New York office. Chas. R. Hrti- ehin^on, director and treasurer of Barnum & Bailey, is handling tbe refitting of the two shows at the Bridgeport . (Conn.) Winter tfunners. A large force of men has been em- ployed alt Winter, and au Immense amount of work has been done. Tbe Buffalo Bill train will be practically all new. and n large num- ber of.new cars will be added to tbe Barnum A Bailey equipment. A great many m-w horses will also be required for tbe shows, and tbey are now being purchased. The uni- forms and various costumes utilized in tbe various displays of tbe two shows will all be new. Charles It. and Fred B. Hutchinson are owners of a large roller .skating rink widen hns lieen in course of construction In Bridge- port, Conn., during tbe past few months. It is Rearing completion and will be opened In a few days. I-red Hutchinson arrived from Lngland a week ago. R. M. Harvey, contract- ing agent, reported Jan. 15, and will shortly be renewing old frleadships with bill partem lot owners and others along the line. Among tbe recent callers at the Barnum & Bailey general offices were Frank-H. Talbert and C. it. Corey, of the Wallace Shows: W. E. Fuller, of the Hagenbeck Show; Col. "Bob" Camp- bell, of the American Bill Posting Co.. Chi- cago. 111.: L.-IL Ramsey, of the Tfamsev Bill Posting- Syndicate, Lexington, Ky., nnd Will J. Dans, the Chicago theatrical manager. A recent cahle to Managing Director W. W. Cole, from Singapore, annonnces- the pur- chase of four very rare proboscis mnnkevs. Tbey will be shipped immediately, nnd, In case they survive the long.voyage, will un- doubtedly prove a great addition to the show's Simian display. The management's offer of $10,000 for a practical Sylng machine with- out balloon attachment, has brought scores of propositions, but up to date none of tbem arc practical. In nearly every Instance the In- ventor simply "thinks he bas exactly what is wanted," but needs money to develop Ids scjieme. It Is still hoped, however, that tbe large amount offered will lead to tbe develop- ment, of a practical air ship. Wm. J. Yager, stilt acrobat and slack wire performer, has signed with tbe Great Van Amburg Shows for 1907, this making his third season with tbe shows. XoTti FKOii E. O.
