As a result the engagement proved a very profitable one, despite heavy rains on certain days. The attractions were located on the streets in the heart of the town, with the City Council furnishing the auspices. The town was opened by Dad Gerard, who is out ahead of the shew. The Dixie Minstrel Show got top money, with the Ten-in-One and California Cabaret coming in next. The company is carrying five paid attractions, two rides and about twenty concessions. W. R. Coley is owner and general manager; Mrs. W. R. Coley, secretary-treasurer; Dad Gerard, general agent; Charles F. Manning, assistant manager. Mr, Coley recently purchased a new office top. For the fair season Mr. Coley plans to increase the show to eight cars. e company by the time this appears in print will be back in West Virginia.—C, F. M.
