Space, or ratter the lack ol space, compels me to curtail the roster hot I do love to dwell over the names and the recollections of those days. The local ansptew had tnnca todo with oar success. When we were la Cotwnjbna the first season we had Judges, banter*,.lawyers, doctors, merchanjw, etc.. tot MM ma ticket takers. ML G. Field, Peter Sells, George Chennell and Ollle Evans were on the executive committee In Akron the com- mittee was composed ol Elks, all ol whom were either State, county or eity officials. In Saginaw, Bill Bice was the chief ad- viser of a similar committee. In. Dayton, Harry Ellsworth Felg-ht was director gen- eral. In late years, under the name of Harry Ellsworth, he has become one of the moat prominent of the lycenm lecturers, with his pictures of the Passion Play, taken at Ober- ammertran. Harry has secured a concession at the San Francisco Exposition. During our first season, after we had played Dayton. he was a frequent visitor to Gssfctn. and I might add, moat welcome at all times. oaskili/s rmBBomjuurr win, Prank GaskUl's personality bad mneb to do with his sveceas. Jfotbing was too great for him to undertake. When ne was running hb store in Alliance he would frequently take an early morning; train Into Cleveland, buy u carload of fruit on the market, be back In Alliance and have it ail sold to tho local merchants before the fruit arrived, baring the poultry season he had agents driving all over the county buying op the farmers' stock, bring It in, killed, and shipped to Cleveland and Pittsburgh by the carloads. When he went Into the carnival business it was a business to him from, which gain could be extracted, and he went at It big. The night we were opening In Akron, tho first season, Achllle Phlilion came to me and told me that the local business men had raised a fund for a big week in the Fall, that they had secured the opening meeting of tho big political parties, and wanted him as free attraction on the street. I told him we needed Mm with the show, and the only way they could get him wns to take all our «how, which I did not tblak they would care to do so soon after wo had played there. However, ha Insisted on my -Meeting the chairman of the committee, and I told Gas- ktll about tt, in a laughing way, but Frank took it seriously and said: ^Tell htm we will furnish PhiUIon, a high diver, Hasaen s Arabs a high wire, big band, some fireworks and Ishniael, all for free acts; they furnish all advertising, build fronts, locate and our shows on the main street, pay us five- thou- sand dollars cash, and we keep all the money the shows ta<ke in." It sounded absurd to me, but the next morning when I met the chairman Ma manner annoyed me, and I •welled up a little more than he did and started stringing him along as to what we Jiad to offer ana then named the price, and in the same breath asked the date lie had in mind; he toM me, and I shook my head and said I was afraid I could not make it; had a proposition out for the same week, couldn't they get the State Executive Committee to change the date of the opening of the cam- paign ; to cut a long story short, we finally niito a contract on the very terms Gnsklll had Indicated. I never would have had the cour- age to ask any such price, but Gaskiir» per- "vwailty was strong enough to make me go to it. When I turned In the contracts Gaa- hni merely nodded his head and said: "I knew you would got it." CASKILIi HAD TWO PARTNERS. Frank Gasklll never had but two partners, vis.: P. J. Mundy, now living In retirement at Jacksonville, Kla., and Victor D. Leavltt, of late years associated with the late Francis Ferarl, and now residing In New York. Mundy was Gasfctirs partner in the Gasklll- Mundy Show* for two years, also with Gas- klll, Muudy a iLeRvltt during the season of 1903, when they haw two shows on the road. Ira Toube was the general agent of the Gas- kin. Mundy. Kenvltt show, and is now a hlgh-palarieil representative of one of tne leading clothing manufacturers of America. In HoviBton a few weeks hence I met W. IE. iSlim) navla, who was the manager of the renter United Carnival Shows, and a pro- tege of the Gasklll show* and he reminded me of many important Incidents of thosa early days. As my mind reverts, In fancy, to the pioneer days of the carnival, and survey the intervening yeara, I search in vain to find a more commanding or ercatlva genius than was Prank W. Oasim. with whom I was associated for elghtew years. He was tho James A. Bailey of carnrvaldoni. AIKEN SHOW ROTES. The Aiken Shows will be increased to twelve e«i this coming mm. The baart fill be■ six- teen pieces, un.f a pyrotechnleal display will be tarried as a feature. , The feature tented attraction will be Aiken s Superb Pit Star, to he familiarly known as a afteen in one.

There will be twelve pits and three platforms, and « llYlng oddity will MM each one of the amusement sec- «eoe. Mr. Aiken was In Chicago recently, and closed a contract with C. W.

With the playing of the sweet and* familiar atralna of "Itome, Sweet Home," the regular sea- son of the Kranae Greater Shows terminated In the City of Macon, Ga.. dalorday, Nov. 28. 1814. The nnal band concert of the aosson was ren- dered by the Kraaae Shows Concert Band In the lobby of the new Hotel Macon, where not only the members of the Krauee Greater Showa we*e gathered, hut members of several other amusement companies that were playing Macon. The Hotel Macon Is a new quarter million dollar structure which catera especially to the show folk, so the gathering was coiniiosed of nearly all show people with the eaceptlon of several reporters who at- tended for the sole purpose of witnessing the "wind-up" of a season for Journalistic purposes. While apeaklng of the Hotel Macon I wish to aay a fe*.v words .In reganta to tko genial snd affable manager In charge, "Joe" Wllaon, "That's All?" While In no way related to a high hall except tkivugh personal adoption and consumma- tion, "Joe" la known to mure show folks than any other maniger or person on the oilier aide of tho Mnson-Dlion line. Not only Is he acquainted, but lie In a staunch friend of the profession aa well. I lersonally know of three different cases of trouble In which show folks were concerned In which "Joe" went to the front, and used Lis Influence In having straightened out and pro- ve mine a "shakedown." If there were mora people of "Joe's" calibre located In more of the towns that hare a reputation for "itlrktng" show folks. It would be s "Golaeod" to tbts business. This Is rot written with sn idea of securing "Joe" any free advertising, but In Justice to a mnr. who fs a friend to as all regarrileas of the branch of the amusement Held we are engaced in. Taking the entire season aa a whole, while not a losing one by any means, it was the most disastrous ever experienced by this organisation, the cotton States seem to bo feeling the effects of the preM'ut war more than any other section, Cotton Is plentiful and money scarce. The Krause Greater Shows will open around Philadelphia about the first iveckr In April. The show will go out its usual site, I. e., nhout twelve pay attrac- tions, two free acts, thirty concessions, and a fourteen piece concert bond. The policy of strict cleanliness legitimacy and morality ulll he maintained in tho future as it has> been in the past. The show will bo under tho exclusive and per- sonal manncement of Ben Krause. The contract- ing will rgaln be handled by Geo. W. Waterman. James Be-ison will again he found in the capacity of special agent. Other vacancies will be filled biter. The permanent address of the show Is No. 1827 East Cambria Street, Philadelphia, Pa. . AN OPEN SYMPOSIUM. WHO ARE THE THREE GREATEST SHOWMEN IN THE TENT ■ SHOW B USINESS AND WHY?

My rote as to who are the three biggest men In the "Tt-n Show World" goes to Sax McCbackeh, Jkrbt MuaaviN and Coir T, Kkvnrut. Why?
