THREE TENTS

constitute the eating department of the
show besides a small covering for the sheet
iron furnaces which do service as the range
and oven The first tent is supplied with
table cloths and napkins and in this the man
ayers and heads of departments and the
high salaried artists eat their meals 1t is
small in comparison with the second which
supplies tie laboring men with their
meals. This second tent is not
so well furnished as the first, as an oil
cloth covering does service as the table
cloth. The third tent is for the perform
ers, and is perhaps the most interesting of
the three. A partition divides the place
allotted to the colored and Indian perform
ers, who are thus separated from the white
artists.
In this the accommodations are better
than the second, but are not so complete
as the first or managerial Pavilion. The
food is likewise divided as the choice ar
ticles are served at the first tent, the sec
ond grade at the performers tent, and
so on to the laboring class. The intention
is to give all good, wholesome food, and
by the perfect arrangements in vogue this
is generally carried out.
A UNIQUE SCENE.
A striking scene is presented in the per-
formers tent at meal time. The walking
skeleton takes his nourishment at the same
table with the fat woman, and the giant
and the pigmy meet at a common level
the table. The clown, meek, tired-look-
ing individual, slides along the seats, and
is perhaps the most sedate person at the
table. There is little or no conversation
except about the show, the prospects for
rain, the crowd attending the performance,
and other topics of that character. Every
body appears to be in hurry, and no On e
seems to think it worth while to take care
of their digestive apparatus by occupying
a reasonable time in eating.
They take no interest in the town or city
In which they chance to be located, and
they look upon the general public as so
many occupants of the seats at one of the
circus performances.

HOTEL TENTS.
How Meals are Served with
a Circus.
A Large Number of Persons
Cared for.
Interesting Facts and lnfor-
nation Concerning them.

There are great many features con
nected with circus that are not generall,
known to the public, and although an or
ganization of that character is extensively
noticed by the press, certain department.
are more or less ignored. This is certain
ly true with regard to the boarding facili
ties of these large travelling tent shows
and from this fact great many people
suppose that the various employees are
cared for at the hotels in the cities an6
towns visited by such attractions. Such
is not the case. however, as not more than
| one tenth of the people engaged in the
shows visit hotel from the beginning of
the tent season early in April until its close
late in October. The majority sleep in the
cars provided for them, and take their
meals at what is known as the
HOTEL TENTS.
These are a necessary adjunct to a
else let by contract for the season. In
these tents the performers, curiosities, and
laborers are fed and are supplied with
good wholesome and substantial food.
During the recent visit OF Barnum, Bailey
& Hutchinson's show to Rock Island a
representative Of the ARGUS visited the
Hotel tents" and from the contractor of
that organization learned the following
:,,%a af of
the travelling shows:
The pay roll of the show included $50
names and Of this force about 70 were ahead
in advertising and company took theirmeals
on the circus grounds and received all
their meals at the hotel tents.
HOW TT rs DONE.
1t requires a large amount of meat, po-
tatoes coffee, ana other edibles to feed
this regiment of men, women and children,
as over 1900 pounds of meat, 500 loaves
of bread, 12 bushels of potatoes and other
groceries in proportion are demolished ev-'
cry day; and to secure this supply is some
times difficult, if not impossible. A con-
tracing agent gees ahead of the show with
the first advance agent. He enters into
contract with some responsible party to
furnish the meat, another to supply the
groceries and another to secure the ice.
The day preceding the coming of the show
a second agent comes along to ascertain if
everything is ready, and if any mishap has
occurred or error committed, he rectifies it
and makes sure that all the provisions will
be delivered on the following morning, the
day of the show.
The hotel tents are first erected on the
show grounds and the work of preparing
breakfast goes ON while the main tents,
dressing rooms and side show pavillions are
being placed in position. AS soon as this
Is completed breakfast is served and every
body is ready for the street parade. When
.he street pageant is concluded, dinner is
served, and as soon as the afternoon per
'ormance terminates supper is ready. The
lotel tents however, continue to serve the
meals for those who are tardy, but at night
he fires are early extinguished in the fur
1aces which are carried with them. so that
hey can cool off and be handled in the
,ars.
