HALL IN CHICAGO. Hmitii if. Ham., the well known newspaper writer sad publicity promoter, who Is a power In tho Twin Cities (SI. Paul and Minneapo- lis), breezed Into the Western Bureau of Tire. Nkw Yuuk Ci.iri'Kii, In l'IiIcbk", Snturduy morning, 0, following a visit to the Canadian National Exhibition, nt Toronto. Mr. Hall report* that crop conditions in Minnesota, are very good, In North Dakota, fair; but tlint In South Dakota hot winds have hurt the crops greatly. Theatrical condition! in Minneapolis pro- Kent an Interesting situation. W. L. Harris, a leading: furniture dealer, is building a (300,000 theatre surrounded by a block of orcade stores. This Is under process of con- struction. The tiachs Bros., from Milwaukee, who control the Lyric Theatre, have decided to build a theatre to cost 1200,000, on Koventh Street, adjoining the Miles Theatre. The Bijou Opera tioime opened as a picture theatre. The ouiibcrt Theatre has been leased by A. O. Brainurldge Jr., as a stock house, and a company has been organized, which opens this week. Both K. A 10. and the HhulMTts nro to ploy ttio Metropolitan Opera House In Minneapolis and til. Paul, thus doing away with the competition which, has existed for the past two years, and has been ruinous to both sides. It will be recalled that the Con T. Ken- nedy Shows played to a wonderful week's business In Minneapolis last Spring, and, la Justice to Mr. Hall, it was largely due to his extraordinary showing In the newspaper* nnd on the billboards that Mr. Kennedy broke Minneapolis records for a carnival organiza- tion. Five hundred thousand people were attracted to the Lake Street Festival, which :oes to show the power of printer's ink, iicked up by the presentation of a first class amusement enterprise. Mr. Hall Is a diarter member of The Showmen's League of America, and predict* a wonderful future for this organisation. Twenty-five newspaper men of Chicago, who were formerly atullated with Minnesota newspapers, and came in contact with Mr. Hall, arranged for a blow-out In his honor in Chicago, Sunday, 7. Automobile rides through the boulevards, a steamer outing on the lake and a dinner formed a part of the program. Mr. Hall stands high in the estimation of tho newspnper fraternity and bo enjoys the friendship of hundreds of show people Who have had £he pleasure, of meeting him, and have enjoyed many courtesies through the columns of the Minnesota papers at bis linnds.

I do not wonder nt it, for it there ever was nn aggregation which deserves sneelal com- mendation through the columns of tho press, Mr. Barnes has that one. I am pleased to quoto an excerpt from nn Oklahoma oxclmngo which has Just reached our desk: TUB UIOW THAT WAS DIFF1SRKNT. TIIH AT.. 0. 11AHNKS SHOWS WOK 1NDKKD uVFclMJMlX THAN USUAL, On nearly every pleco of pnper advertising this show Mr. Barnes claims It to be "The Show That's Different," and nil who attended yesterday uro agreed that It Is Indeed differ- ent from tho ordinary circus, and In one respect at least the difference is appreciated by' those, who came In contact with the show uud its managers In a business way. While in forty years' newspaper work wo have bumped against many shows, It has never beer, our pleasure to run against n more gentlemanly lot of show people with whom to transact business than those employed by Mr. Barnes, From William Feck, the first advance man, to Kay Burnett, who Rett led Hie tills, everything was honest, open and above board, and we believe that what wo ' say of this department will apply to the entire show. The show arrived In this city nt about sis yesterday morning, and In a very short time I hero was a crowd on hand to witness the unloading. A* the horses began to make tbolr appearance many were the remarks heard In admiration of the fine draft horses owned by Mr. Barnes. Not only are Uiev a fine lot of horses, but they show that tliey have been well treated. After almost an <niire Summer ou tho road*all of the stock Is In lino condition, showing that care is taken of them. When the street parade was on almost every farmer, nml for that matter many of the city people, gave more attention to the line horses than they did to tho animals, end all agree that from the trick pontes to the draft norses, they arc a fine lot. The ehow was well attended, and by all pronounced a clean and very entertaining one. It was different from the ordinary cir- cus. In Hint trained animals replaced the ar- robiits, tumblers and contortionists usually •ten, nnd was refreshing In that overy act wax different from the llme-worn ones that •we have seen since childhood. ». ^"".I 1 ! tn .° • no " t praiseworthy nets was juatof Martha Florlno.' showing two trained aUrHtn lions, one puma, two leopards and one panther, all considered among the fiercest of the wild animals, yet who performed their acts at her bidding. Prof. Stonewall and bis educated sea lions were a very at* tractive feature, being especially pleasing t9 tho little folks. The one thing, though, that made all sit up and take notice waa the appearance In the steel arena of twenty lions at one time, each performing his trick. Mr. Barnes states that this Is the first visit of his show to the State of Oklahoma, and that while he came here at an unfortu- nate time, owing to the drouth, yet he Is very well pleased with the patronage re- ceived, and looks forward to another tour of the State. # RBTOIINS TO THIS FOLD. That once a trooper always a trooper Is again exemplified In the person of Fred P. Sargent Mr. Sargent will be remembered as cue of the old school of troopers with the different white tops, and was identified as manager of several road companies and the- atres up to seven years ago, when he got the California fever, and for a time forsook chow business to enter tho Held of real es- tate In Venice, Cal, where he has been im- mensely successful, having a beautiful hotel bearing his name, and severs! other proper- ties sgrgegatlng a total value of nearly But not satisfied with these achievement* In the ic-al estate world he has again decided to embark In show business in partnership with I. It, Welngtrdcn, of tho old Trocadcro, Chicago. Ho is about to Install two stock burlesque houses, one .at Lo* Angeles, the other at San Francisco, Cal. I had the pleasure of trooping with Mr. Sargent during his last circus seainn. In 1003, with the Ilarnum A Bailey Show, and as the following story fasi never been pub- lished, I here present It for'the benefit of his many old time friends: In the Spring of *03, at Madison Square Garden, New York, Mr. Sargent Joined the B. A B. Show as lecturer In the mammoth freak department. The show had Just re- turned from Europe, nnd Mr. Bailey attempt- ed to attain his ambition, vis., the moving of the moat colossal show that the world sad ever known. We left the city of Brooklyn after our New York engagement, traveling In four sections with the total of ninety six cars, and a spread of canvas, the like of which had never before been attempted. That the show was entirely too big and too heavy for successful movement and operation was proved before WO got out of Philadel- phia, as over half of our working force walked off of the lot In that city, absolutely refusing to help pnek up the show, Out next two weeks we.'e through Penn- sylvania, and for the first time'In circus history tho Hornum Show was playing but three towns a week, and making no street parades. It begnn to look like the show would have to go back to Brlgcport, cut down and rc-organlzc. It had completely gotten away from the bosses of every department. It was at this crisis that tbo ability of Mr. Sargent presented Itself. Itoquostlng nu Interview with Mr. Bailer, flii wiit briefly outlined a policy which would move tho show successfully. To mnke a long •dory short, Mr. Bailey finally decided to act on his suggestions, nnd It Is a matter of his- tory In tho circus world that the change wus made, nnd made successfully. A part of Mr. Sargont's scheme was the Introducing of colored labor a* canvnsmen. These men were secured by Sargent himself, personally selected from tlio cotton trucker* of the city of Norfolk, ono hundred and eight y-flvo in number, and every ono of them six feet or over. Our next stand after their nrrlviil, as I well remember, was Portland, Me,, where we gave a street parado and two shows, ns In the days of old. Another day equally as eventful In tho his- tory of the show that neuron was when Mr. Sargent closed In Schenectady, N. Y., late in September. Ho hnd previously signed eon- tracts as general manager of Carl Hagen- beck's Trained Wild Animal Show for tho St. Louis Exposition, which was to take place tho following Bummer. It was not Mr. Pulley's rulo to ask cny one to stay once they had signified their Intention of leaving, but it is a matter of record that ho tried very bard to persuade Mr. Sargent to Ignore his contract with tho Hagenbeck people nnd remain with the Barnum Show, and had ha done eo, my word for It, there would havo been new history made In tho circus world In 1004. In conclusion it might be welt to add that Mr. Sargent has made good In everything that he has ever attempted, and there are few men in the profession who havo more friends. All success to him In his now ven- ture. * Tubus Is Just as largo fish In tho ocean as have ever been caught, but the price of bait is Increasing dally. BU11KH WITH SBL.LS-FLOTO. Can you, imagine, in your wildest dreams, what would have happened to an Individual who, fifteen years ago, had the temerity to suggest to Major John M. Burke that ho (tho Major). In tho year of our Lord 1014, would bo writing biographical sketches of tho "var- mints" with a circus. Fnto plays funny pranks, You never can tell what Is going to de- velop In this busy workaday world of our*. But that Is neither here nor there. Tho fact rcmalus that Major John M. Burko, who perhaps has done mora to help make the inline of "Buffalo BUI" immortal than any other single Individual, Is to bo a directing fculus In dishing up publicity for tbo Sells- 1'loto Circus next season. Of course there Is a special reason there- for. Buffalo Bill Is to bo with It. And there you have the whole story in a paragraph. Wherever Col Cody la there you will find the genial Major. lly those who hove watched the career of tho "Hero Horseman ot the World" It Is readily acknowledged that Major Burke, loved by everybody with whom he has come In contact, has played s vllai part la keep- ing alive the traditions of the noble rodman. In playing up the qualities of his illustrious chief, Buffalo Bill, through the columns of the press. The Major is an international figure as well as a promoter of publicity. At tho present writing Major Burke is In' tho Big Horn Basin amidst the solitudes of Col. Cofly'n reserve studying up natural his- tory. If his facile pen wrxes as eloquent In depicting the carnlvors, the huge pachy- derms, the "ships of the desert." tho blood swentlnff behemoth nnd the denizens of tho reptllo realm, as It has In the past In pilnt- Ing tho glories of a fast disappearing regime, and eulogising the aecomilshmenls or tho "tlrandest Old Scout of Them All." then lu- decil may the natives havo cause tor wonder and flock to the big top In goodly numbers. Major John M. Burko enjoys a unique per- sonality. He Is persona grata In every news- paper office 'n tho land. He has always mode good, for he Is a man of high Integrity, and puts his whole soul Into his work. The folks at Schmidt's, at Fourteenth Street and Union Square, will miss him this Winter, for he will be sojourning In the Far West, where, with Buffalo Bill and Johnny Baker, he will be evolving Ides* for moving pictures and laying out his publicity campaign for next season. Major Burke will be In splendid company next season. Fred. B. Hutchinson will be manager Of the Hells-Kioto knows; Ed. C. Warner will be the general agent and traffic enanager, and Rhoda Royal will probably be equestrian director, at least ot the circus part of the exhibition. The fact that Johnny Baker will be with the show carries con- siderable significance. Arthur Bennett will undoubtedly look after advance press affairs, for he has made a wonderful showing and stands high In the estimation of the manage- ment. William Curtis will continue ns su- perintendent of canvas. Jim Bwyer will be the official adjuster. Mighty strong line-up.
