The Wortham Shows have certainly made some long Jumps lately. Detroit to Urbana, III., and from UrUina to Holton, Kan., where we are show- ing this week, and It has certainly paid for ths big Jump. rt It is a real old-fashioned pumpkin fair on ths atreets, with displays of stock snd farm ma- chlnery and farm products. The shows are all located around the public square, and every ebow has an equal cbancn at tbe .big crowds that come in early In tbe forenoon and stay until late at night. Holton Is a smsll city of some five thousand people, but has a. good surrounding country to draw from. It certainly looks like'old times to see the allows sll opea la the momma and the performers having to go one st a time for their meals. Tbe townspeople were surprised at the stupendous site of the Wortham Shows and they spent the first nlgbt going from show to shew and looking at the equipment Sev- eral parades were polled off by the local peepls. which were greatly augmented by the wagom cages, bones, etc. Many cf the members of the show are making arrangements for the Winter, and tbe usual number of pipes are cooked* up but owing to the fact that the show will stay out till tbe middle of December the bunch Is figuring on a very abort lay-off, -Sam Sallnsky, general manager of the East Texas Fair, at Beaumont, Tex., .came on st De- troit and closed the contract with the Wortham Shows to play their fair.
