CO., 47 W.'iSth Street, Now York INTEREST m THE SHOWMEN'S LEAGUE OF AMERICA IS NOT CONFINED TO PROFESSIONAL WORLD-PRESIDENT CODY GETS INT ERESTIN G LETTER. That Tho Showmen's League of America is attracting wido attention outside of the pro- fession ot entertainment Is being evidenced more and more every day. President W. F. Cody (liuffnlo Bill) recently received the following letter from D. H. Wlnget, editor of The Merru War, published at Clinton, la.: Cod. W. P. Cody, President of The Show- men's League of America. Hkar Colonel. —Laying aside our long friendship, nosing unbiased ns a rank out- sider, I wish to congratulate you upon the additional honor added to your war bonnet of scalps—that of being selected as president of The Showmen's League of America. In this connection, too, I feel constrained to congratulate tho League upon its choice, and I will. -Through a close friendship of half a century I know you probably better than most members of the League. I have seen you tried. I have seen you proved true, and never had occasion to blush for my pard. from my viewpoint I feel that this move— tbe formation ot this League—is the start of a grand organization for tbe uplift and help of tho knights of the arena, who hare so long contributed to the world's pleasure; and, further, I feel that it will give the generous nnd big-hearted public of America a chance to come hack for the many and large open- handed charities our suffering people nave re- ceived at the bands of you and your brothers of the big top in times of great calamities— the Jolitttown flood, the San Francisco earth- quake, famine, fires, etc. The cry has gone up for aid, and the first to respond were the show people. ■ Now that you arc organized to take care ot your suprrununtcd ministers of fun, you will rind a grateful public ready to make you incrense the seating capacity when tbe bene- fit for The Showmen's League is on the bill- boards. When n man's in bis prime in the sawdust ring lie's greeted with a shout, Bur who takes care of his faltering steps When he is down and out? A brother's hand, from the "big top" band, And tho public all about Will help him home, no more to roam, When he is down and out. And there he'll sit and smoko and rest From worry and fatigue. He'll bask in tho sun on Easy Street At tho Home nt lho Showmen's League. Well, I'm sorry I can't "Jlno," for I am not eligible. I never turned a flip-flop, "dim" a pole or "rid" a "boss:" never did anything hut take tickets, and they were romps. Hut, by nek, I can jlno the public at tbe benefit performances. Yours with respect, D. II. Winobt. COL. CHAS. ANOnESS, Veteran circus adjuster, for many years ldentllled with the Hlngllng Brothers' and llnrnuiit & lliilley Shows.
