Harat J. Lewis says "he hain't a water showman." Harry J. voices "I am perfectly willing that Rice & Dore handle all the Ice irater circuses. They are the kings In that line." Harry J. and David Lachman had a water circus this season but they. It seems, never could get the water the right tempera- ture to suit Hie diving queens. It wss either too hot or too cold. Never right, snyway. Hard people to suit, these "water lymphs." Ihelr water show Is nor safely stored in the cars for the Winter. David Lachxann announces that In all probability the Lacbmann-Lewls carnival will remain ont all Winter In Texas. Tiey have a nice outfit of twelve cars, and are framed to get the money. Col.

He looks Just tbe same ss when he started In tbe game years ago. Mrs. Q. M. Padgett was a visitor to the Texas State Pair. Is that what you call a "bloomer?" If It Is we don't want to make any more of them. David Lachuann Is a real, sure-enough carnival manager. He Is a big manager, but does not make any claims in that direction. He can show a lot of what we call big mana- gers some pointers that would open their eyes. David, why not come In the big game? Scon be a lot of cars on tbe market why ? You know why.

Harbx Potter. — How are you getting along back where you once were? The Southern Traction Co. (the Waco- Dansa-Coraleana Interurban) handled a num- ber of showmen and concessionaires that moved from the Texas State Pair to the Waco Cotton Palace. Their service was highly satisfactory, according to a number who made tbe run. Note: This reminds us. Who is going on tour next season via the trolley route? Red Onion has made careful Inquiries and Investigation, but falls to find any carnival trust or sny contemplated one. A certain disgruntled and sadly mistaken erstwhile carnival manager la wont to credit bis present plight to tbe existence of a trust Such is not the case. It Is hla own distorted vision and imagination that is responsible tor his Inability to go forward and compete with tbe others whom he calls monopolist;. We still are in a competitive line. For this let's give thanks. Whxn yon are wrong It is best to admit it. Do not be a weakling and try to put the blame on someone else. Big men stand in tbelr own boots. Basnet Peatt was for five years with the Hagenberk-Wallace Circus. He Is now with the C. A. Wortham Carnival. Barney was with the boys at the Texas State Pair, Thursday, Oct 2».
