Kennedy is to continue as general manager of the Great Parker Shows, his twelfth year with the C. W. Parker enter- prises.

Talbott' 5?°.'at 0 oe general agent of the Great Parker ShowB next season, contemplated put- ting out a new carnival, which would have meant a contending factor In this field of tented amusement to be reckoned with.
